At EPIC Automation, every practical, beneficial and cost-efficient automation solution we develop is based upon industry research and trends.  Before any design or development takes place, our engineers take the time to research and gain a thorough understanding of the process.  In October of 2011, Bill Lydon, Editor of Automation.com wrote an article called “PLC […]

Machine Vision is a branch of computer science that has really grown over the last 20 years to become an important feature of manufacturing. Today machine vision systems provide greater flexibility and further automation options to manufacturer’s, helping to find defects, sort products and complete a number of tasks faster and more efficiently than humans […]

HOW GAMING TECHNOLOGY WILL CHANGE MANUFACTURING The gaming world has been revolutionized by games that track a player’s natural body movements and translates them into the virtual environment. By using gesture and voice recognition, gaming consoles such as the Xbox Kinect allow players to kick a ball, shoot an arrow, and actively participate in the […]

3D machine vision technology is certainly not a new concept, but holding it in the palm of your hand is. A new iPhone App allows users to detect patterns of light reflected off a face to build a true 3-D model. Though it’s not quite machine vision, it certainly is the first step in the […]

Recently Kyle McCormick and Wayne Jasper participated in a CADworks workshop put on by ECE engineering. The biggest takeaway? CADworks is moving towards platforms that allow engineers to customize the program to their needs. For example, a design engineer at EPIC can make customized templates that can be saved into CADworks and repeatedly used. Kyle […]

Whether inspecting the sanitary packaging of consumable goods to monitoring the sealant in batteries, vision technology is increasingly being used in almost every single manufacturing industry imaginable. Machine vision is used today to accurately control the quality of your final goods, guide your robotic machines or add track-ability to improve your manufacturing process. Take a […]
