Purpose
To show how advances in machine vision technology are of particular benefit to automated assembly.
Design/methodology/approach
The review concentrates on algorithms, cost effectiveness, and communications aspects of currently available commercial systems.
Findings
Vision is now very robust, affordable, and capable of being used at every stage in the assembly process.
Originality/value
The vision industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace and readers who may have been disappointed when they investigated the technology only a few years ago should learn how today's systems have improved.
