Inropa™IVision
Automatic Recognition of
Parts and Program Transfer
Inropa™ IVision automatically
recognizes parts by use of images, and
selects an associated program, which
is then sent to the robots.
Inropa™ IVision is a user customizable
system, used to detect and recognize
parts using cameras. The system
recognizes parts using feature based
rules setup by the operator.

PART RECOGNITION SYSTEM
With an Inropa™ IVision system, the operator
uses knowledge about the parts to setup rules
for each part. The rules are based on
knowledge of certain features for each part.
When completed, the rules span a tree
structure which divides the parts into a unique
set of rules.
When a product enters the recognition zone,
the system takes a picture of the part. This
picture is searched for the features defined in
the rule tree. The program associated with the
found part is thereafter sent to the robots,
making it ready to execute when the product
enters the process cabin.
ALERTS
The Inropa™ IVision system is capable of
giving alerts if certain criteria are met. When a
part has been classified, it is possible to set up
an addition rule. This rule is designed to test if
there are mounting errors, or if the part is
hanging out of place. If it is detected that the
part is out of place, it is possible to give a
warning either on screen or by sending an IO
signal, which for example can be used to
display the warning at a central screen, or by
sounding an alarm.
VERIFICATION SYSTEM
Inropa™ IVision can also be used as a
verification system. Instead of automatically
sending a program to the robot, the system is
merely used to verify that a user-selected

program matches the program and the result of
Inropa™ IVision recognition. If a different result
is found, an alarm is raised.
FLEXIBILITY
When using the Inropa™ IVision system, it is
easy to add new products to the range of
existing products. The new product is mounted
and sent in front of the camera(s), and the
resulting product classification is observed.
Regardless of where in the rule tree it is
classified, a new rule is setup at that level to
separate the new product the product it was
classified as.
Existing rules can also be changed if physical
shape of a given product it has changed or if it
is observed that the current rules are not strong
enough.
RELIABLE
Because of the simplicity of the system and the
fact that the operators, who are familiar with
the various product features, create the rules,
the system is very reliable. It is also a system
that will become increasingly reliable as the
operator is quickly able to adjust the system to
avoid any false classifications.
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
Inropa™ IVision is running in several industrial
paint lines.
