ScoutCam’s Resilient Camera-as-a-Detector™ Solution

For Industrial Applications

ScoutCam’s resilient Camera-as-a-Detector solution opens a whole new opportunity for Predictive Maintenance based on IoT and other Industry 4.0 applications. These include harsh environments and tight locations for robotics solutions, production machines, and more. ScoutCam micro-cameras support all major industrial standards and are available as a customized solution. One can use a single micro-camera to detect image-changes, another can use 2 or more cameras to deliver stereo vision with measurements capabilities:

• 2D measurements
• 3D measurements with stereo vision
• Object-detection and counting/sorting
• Quality assurance and defects-detection

Why is Industry 4.0 Important?

It’s transformational. Industry 4.0 is also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, IIoT (the Industrial Internet of Things), or smart manufacturing which melds physical production and operations with smart digital technology. Whether transmission is wired or wireless, Industry 4.0’s digital innovations promise to improve production, productivity, safety and quality with more intelligent processes that increase operational efficiency and the bottom line.

Industrial leaders in the automobile industry, aviation, and energy utilities require Industry 4.0 visual inspection procedures optimized for today’s complex machinery. And mindfulness of cost-performance factors is essential.

ScoutCam – Expertise in Deep Processing Capabilities & Tailored Visual Solutions

With market-proven expertise, ScoutCam micro-camera solutions open the door to more flexible possibilities for Industry 4.0 needs such as predictive maintenance, micro-visual inspection, machine measurement tools, and more. Such visualization applications require high-performance, high-definition video using single-camera and multiple-camera arrays.

Utilizing lightweight, tiny micro-cameras, ScoutCam technology is known for resiliency to harsh conditions such as vacuum, extreme temperatures, radiation, and RF.  Selected by NASA, ScoutCam’s customized micro-camera solution was deployed in outerspace and played a key role in the recent Robotic Refueling Mission3 (RRM3) at the International Space Station (see photo).
