`
`Automaker Study Finds eVisionFactory Most Accurate 3D Guided Robotics Vision
`System
`
` Silver Spring, Md. – Feb. 7, 2018 — Robotic VISION Technologies Inc. (RVT) announced
`today that its eVisionFactory (eVF) software platform is the most accurate and precise
`vision guidance solution among global leaders according to a recent study by one of the
`world’s largest and most technologically advanced automakers. RVT outperformed
`competitors across all six degrees of freedom, performing 10 to 100 times more accurately
`than any other platform.
` “Determining all six degrees of freedom accurately is one of the greatest challenges in the
`field of vision guidance for robotics,” said RVT VP, engineering Paul Weidinger. “Our
`platform enhanced accuracy beyond either the camera resolution or the robot itself,
`showing the critical nature of software in the success of robotics in all fields.”
` The study included a series of tests to gage the repeatability and reproducibility (gage
`R&R) of positional calculations, an industry standard method that objectively compares the
`accuracy between vision systems. These tests included measuring the ability of a robot to
`find a vehicle part, both when the part was moved to multiple known positions between
`tests and when the part was left in place between tests. In both series of tests, eVF scored
`top marks for all six degrees of freedom.
` The difference in accuracy is unusual in the space, but not a surprise to long-time users of
`the platform. The automaker’s vision expert said, “We have been running eVF since 2003,
`and some of our vision programs haven’t changed in ten years! Testing the latest version of
`the software shows it to be the most accurate solution available,” he said.
` As a result of the study, the automaker has purchased and is in the process of integrating
`multiple eVF systems in the manufacturing of powertrain and transmission systems for its
`best-selling brand of automobiles.
` Outlined in the chart below, RVT’s two tests displayed a higher accuracy than every other
`vision system studied in every category:
