EPIC’s machine vision engineer, Chris Walker, worked with Vision Systems Design Magazine on an article featured in their technology trends section for their November 2015 issue. The article was based around a high speed bottling line project that EPIC Systems recently completed for a major soft drink producer. The client was in need of a […]
Ever wondered how large manufacturers of consumer goods ship pallets and pallets of products out their doors each year with limited defects? Chances are they have a machine vision system inspecting their products before they are boxed, palletized, and stretch wrapped… EPIC works with nation-wide and global manufacturers providing machine vision systems that inspect products […]
Post material pulled from machine vision expert Chris Walkers blog. Image normalization is often used to enhance image contrast. Normalization techniques create a greater difference between the darkest grays (by pushing them towards black) and the lightest grays (by pushing these towards white). The image on the left below is an image before normalization, with […]
EPIC strive’s to be better by limiting policies, eliminating the unnecessary, and empowering employees. We pride ourselves in being a not-so-typical business. EPIC’s President, John Schott, would describe EPIC as the “un-corporation”. His goal for EPIC is to reduce the bureaucracy, to empower every employee to make decisions, and move projects forward. As a result, […]

Machine Vision Systems professional, Chris Walker is featured in the article explaining the industrial vision system that EPIC developed to reduce the number of false failures in an automated inspection system for sealant on automotive canisters. Article Overview The client needed an industrial […]
Question: I am interested in a system that inspects parts on a production line in our manufacturing plant. What type of machine vision system would be needed for inspecting 3D objects? Answer: When it comes to inspecting 3D objects, one option for inspection is a stereoscopic machine vision system. A stereoscopic vision system uses stereo vision to […]
At EPIC Machine Vision we have blown up the traditional client vendor relationship. Gone are the days of treating vendors like second class citizens. That is not how we operate. We treat our vendors the same we treat our clients and employees. It sounds trite, but at EPIC we strive to treat everyone with the […]
Total machine vision sales in North America have been on the rise over the last year. In the second quarter of 2013 machine vision sales are up 6% compared to the second quarter of 2012. According to the AIA, the industry’s trade group, the machine vision systems category, which includes ASMV (application specific machine vision) […]
Despite what you might believe, X-Men aren’t the only ones who can perform morphology. It’s actually a mathematical operation for modifying and classifying objects seen in images. Image morphology, when used by a machine vision integrator, separates touching objects in images, removes noise, and classifies shapes. There are several morphology algorithms that can be used […]
Can you modify all your automation programs? Do you have the engineering drawings for everything on your manufacturing floor? Unfortunately for most manufacturer’s, the answer to one or both of these questions is “no.” A lot of integrators don’t relinquish their controller and HMI programs or drawings to the end client. This protects the design […]
