In-Sight 2800 Series
Easy-to-use vision system with pre-trained AI for solving basic to intermediate-level processing tasks.
The power of automated product sortation
As online order volume and customer demands increase in industries like consumer packaged goods, electronics, and retail, more goods are being shipped every day. Effective product and part sortation ensures accurate material handling, streamlined kitting, and precise packaging and final assembly. Whether you’re managing high-mix SKUs or high-volume lines, separating components by size, color, shape, or condition demands reliable, real-time decision-making.
From warehouse to point of sale, high-speed sorting systems can make those decisions, preventing labeling and shipping errors, reducing costs, and maintaining throughput. This is especially critical on the picking line, where speed and accuracy directly affect the bottom line.
Advanced machine vision gets it done – providing faster, easier, more consistent, and cost-effective automated sorting and classification – keeping operations moving smoothly at the pace you need.
Overcoming automated material handling challenges
Sorting small or visually similar parts often leads to picking and assembly errors, especially when relying on manual labor or traditional vision systems. Variables like object angle, lighting, low contrast, and subtle color differences can distort what the camera sees, hide variations, and lead to misidentification. Manual sorting, particularly by color, is time-consuming and prone to errors, which can result in costly rework, delays, inaccuracies, and customer dissatisfaction.
Cognex vision systems inspect coffee beans on a conveyor and classify them as dark or medium roast.
Faster throughput, fewer errors, and smarter sortation
Cognex In-Sight vision systems bring speed, accuracy, and repeatability to sorting tasks with AI-powered classification. The embedded AI adapts to natural variations – even between visually similar items – to detect defects and give you the results you need.
When trained on a set of product images, In-Sight vision systems can help:
- Identify damaged or missing features
- Detect and classify subtle and variable defects
- Distinguish similar-looking parts, even at challenging angles
With global support from experts and access to online, on-demand resources, Cognex empowers you to improve product quality, reduce manual sorting, and keep your goods moving.
