In a strategic move to enhance its technological solutions for flat glass quality control, Deltamax Automazione has recently announced its participation in an investment round led by the Italian start-up AI4IV.
The collaborative project aims to pioneer an innovative vision sensor technology that merges the benefits of neuromorphic devices with CMOS digital devices to extract comprehensive information from a scene irrespective of lighting conditions or moving objects.
Inspired by the intricacies of human vision, AI4IV’s vision sensor chips are designed to perceive and categorize all scene details, even in areas traditionally challenging for standard image sensors due to varying light intensities. This breakthrough technology holds significant promise for industrial applications, such as overcoming reflections on shiny surfaces, discerning details through transparent materials, and classifying defects without the need for additional processing units.
The integration of AI4IV’s technology into Deltamax Automazione’s systems is poised to revolutionize flat glass production and processing by streamlining quality control processes and reducing costs associated with complex lighting and processing systems. Moreover, the adaptability of AI4IV’s sensors makes them ideal for outdoor settings with unpredictable lighting conditions, such as autonomous drones and perimeter security installations.
Giampietro Tecchiolli, Founder and CEO of AI4IV, emphasized the uniqueness of their technology, which prioritizes the concept of ‘vision’ akin to human perception rather than merely capturing scenes like conventional cameras. This distinctive approach aligns with Deltamax Automazione’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that excel in recognizing intricate defects within the flat glass industry.
Gianluca Diener, CEO of Deltamax Automazione, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, citing AI4IV’s potential to revolutionize machine vision technology and enhance the accuracy of control systems. By investing in the development of advanced sensors, Deltamax Automazione aims to elevate the performance of its systems and reinforce its reputation for precision and innovation in the global market.
The collaboration between Deltamax Automazione and AI4IV signifies a strategic alliance focused on driving technological advancement in flat glass quality control. As both companies strive towards excellence in their respective fields, the partnership holds the promise of ushering in a new era of efficiency and sophistication in industrial quality control systems.
