Confirmation that all components are assembled correctly
Part location and orientation for robot pickup
Part identification reading human or machine readable codes
Quality Assurance
Fewer rejects
Automatic visual inspection: Objective, fact and reliable: Checks dimensional tolerances and shapes, detects whether parts are absent, checks correct mounting, position and completeness of parts, which can even be microscopically small (e.g. chip structures)
Increased Productivity
Automatic component recognition:
The components are assigned to different predefined categories on the basis of shape,dimension, patterns, codes and markings
