Applicative Framework for End-to-End AOI Implementation
The following chapters thoroughly illustrated the solution architectural paradigms for both hardware and software infrastructures .
• A high-definition GigE camera to capture images 2 ,
• A lighting source to spread the illumination across the products to analyze ,
• Sensors to detect the presence of the components on the control position ,
• 8 Channel Digital Input module to manage incoming electrical signals , mastered by means of appropriate Python libraries 3 ,
• 8 Channel Digital Output module to manage outgoing electrical signals , mastered by means of appropriate Python libraries ,
• A dedicated PC where the master coordinator , consisting of a Python application , is hosted into a Docker container ,
• A lighting device to notify the overall analysis feedback ,
• IoT Gateway to exchange information with the physical process .
