Increase in Adoption of Intelligent Lighting for Machine Vision Systems Fuels South & Central America Machine Vision Lighting Market

In machine vision systems, LED lights have been acknowledged as a technological basis for lighting test objects. However, there is still a need for optimization. Specific customer-specific applications lack individual mechanical and optical designs. A massive number of machine vision end users require lighting with higher intensity, coupled with lower price, as well as easier integration. The vital factors comprise customer-centric adaptation possibilities in lighting geometry, numerous selections for operation, and fast delivery times with wavelengths.

The requirements for illumination systems, particularly, high power density for faster production process, which needs shorter exposure times and more luminous intensity, are witnessing a high demand. Manufacturers of machine vision lighting are thus catering to this inclination by manufacturing high-power LEDs. Constant developments in LED-based lights for complex end-user applications are anticipated to provide a prosperous opportunity to the market.

Additionally, another prevailing factor in illumination technology is intelligent lighting. Intelligent or smart lighting aims to exploit the supply of illumination systems exquisitely and thus use them more efficiently and economically. Intelligent lighting can also be used for monitoring illumination systems, and this is consequently a move toward Industry 4.0.

As the dynamic application data and the technical properties of illumination are permanently available in the machine vision system, end users can be notified immediately about diminishing lighting levels and other significant changes. The increasing factory automation is resulting in the adoption of smart lighting technology in machine vision systems.
