impatience

Today I went to two FlexInspector users in the area to do some adjustment work.
Both #2 companies are quite large.
The first company has built a small system and is in the process of volume testing a real sample.
In the case of this user, we have not done any sample evaluation.
The user decided that the system looked "good" and purchased a "PC + camera. We conducted our own experiments and selected the lighting.
Then, we built the current system, and the user is conducting volume testing.
Today, for the first time, we saw a near-quality sample running, and it seemed to be doing well.
The person in charge of the project also commented that the software is really good.
The points that were highly evaluated were
(1) Each pixel has its own binarization level, so it can be inspected as a "natural image" with a 3D effect.
(2) The results have a high correlation with visual inspection and can be considered a sensory inspection.
I was told that this was the reason.
Then, the usual question was asked, "Why is it that we have not been able to do all of this before?
The second company had purchased the sensor as an experimental machine after comparing its performance with the image sensors of other companies for "a certain theme". However, that theme is no longer available, and the company is considering developing a completely different theme. The issue here was "price competition with image sensors," and they wanted to bring the price down to a level that would satisfy their bosses through in-house procurement, use of an IEEE1394 camera, and other measures. The difference is obvious if you evaluate the performance, but it is also understandable that they are "cost-conscious.
According to the person in charge here, "We are lucky to be of the Internet generation. (We were lucky to find FlexInspector." And.
Both companies found us "by chance" and tried it out for themselves, which has helped us improve our results.
FlexInspector's inspection method is a "monster". When considering "image inspection," we realize that "knowing this method or not knowing this method" makes a tremendous difference. You are free to choose another method after knowing it, but we feel impatient that we have not been able to make it a "place of knowing" due to our lack of ability. Now that we have found this method, I believe we must take responsibility and make it "the place to know".
#Maybe "this method" will change the power structure of the visual inspection equipment industry.
#It may even change the industrial structure if we consider "improving the quality of visual inspection work" in overseas factories.
