This includes web products such as glass, foil, film, nonwovens, paper, printing, metals as well as products for the solar industry. The Industrial Automation division focuses on 3D machine vision applications for production automation which cover tasks such as robot guidance, automated assembly, surface measurement, shape recognition and quality control, particularly in the automotive industry. An example is the final control of complex surfaces like painted car bodies. The systems and products are complemented by a software architecture for yield management.
A typical machine vision system consists of lighting units, sensors, hardware, software and mechanical components. In addition to the overall system, ISRA also develops the sensors, lighting modules and the software itself. Therefore, the company applies its knowledge of optics, lighting and measurement technology, physics and information technology, as well as image processing and classification algorithms.[citation needed]
