We’ve launched a new product intended for use by those who are curious about machine vision and believe they may be able to use such a system in their manufacturing environment, but don’t have the confidence yet to invest anything significant into such a venture.
What does it cost to employ one person to check a product is the right colour or size as it passes along a production line? In the UK, that’s an easy number to come up with – without taking into account the additional costs with recruitment, on-site training and induction, the National Minimum Wage from October 2010 will be £5.93 for workers aged 21 or over.
That equates to £12334 for a 5 day week over the year, excluding national insurance payments.
The Unibrain Scorpion Machine Vision Starter Kit
Automation is a way to reduce costs using Scorpion Vision Software. The starter kit which includes everything needed to build a system (just supply a PC) costs £1110 or 1260 Euros. This isn’t a pipe dream. This kind of automation solution is achievable on a budget.
To see more about this, have a look at the relevant product page on our web site: http://scorpionvision.co.uk/catalogue-index/scorpion-vision-products/starter-kits
We even throw in some help for free.
