Machine vision welcomes tens of billions of blue oceans!

[ Market Analysis of Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] In the past ten years, machine vision technology has been applied in many industries such as consumer electronics, automobile manufacturing, photovoltaic semiconductors, etc.
, covering almost all fields of the national economy
.

 

Machine vision is a rapidly developing branch of artificial intelligence
.
Simply put, machine vision is to use machines instead of human eyes to make measurements and judgments
.
The machine vision system converts the captured target into an image signal through a machine vision product (ie, image capture device, divided into CMOS and CCD), and transmits it to a dedicated image processing system to obtain the morphological information of the captured target.
Information such as brightness, color, etc.
, are converted into digital signals; the image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the characteristics of the target, and then controls the on-site equipment actions according to the results of the discrimination
.

 

The market size of China's machine vision industry is gradually expanding.
It is expected that the market size will reach 15.
56 billion yuan in 2023, which is a new blue ocean
.
According to the company's data, there are 2,677 existing enterprises with the keyword "machine vision" in China
.

 

　　Among them, there are 1,778 related enterprises in Guangdong, accounting for 66% of the total number of enterprises in the country
.
In 2020, 365 machine vision companies were registered, a year-on-year decrease of 17%, and the number of registrations in the first half of 2021 was 174
.
In the past ten years, machine vision technology has been applied in many industries such as consumer electronics, automobile manufacturing, and photovoltaic semiconductors, covering almost all fields of the national economy
.

 

　　Today, China is becoming one of the most active areas in the world for the development of machine vision, and its applications cover various industries of the national economy such as industry, agriculture, medicine, military, aerospace, meteorology, astronomy, public security, transportation, security, and scientific research
.
The important reason is that China has become the processing center of the global manufacturing industry, and the processing of high-demand parts and its corresponding advanced production lines has brought many machine vision systems and application experience into China
.

 

　　After a long period of dormancy, in 2010 China's machine vision market ushered in explosive growth
.
The data shows that in that year, the scale of China's machine vision market reached 830 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 48.
2%.
Among them, the growth rate of smart cameras, software, light sources and boards reached 50%, and industrial cameras and lenses also maintained an increase of more than 40%.

.

 

　　In foreign countries, the application of machine vision is mainly reflected in the semiconductor and electronics industries, of which about 40%-50% are concentrated in the semiconductor industry
.
Specifically, such as PCB printed circuit: various types of production printed circuit board assembly technology and equipment; single, double-sided, multi-layer circuit boards, copper clad laminates and required materials and accessories; auxiliary facilities and consumables, inks, potions, and accessories; electronic Packaging technology and equipment; screen printing equipment and screen peripheral materials,
etc.
SMT surface mount: SMT process and equipment, welding equipment, testing equipment, repair equipment and various auxiliary tools and accessories, SMT materials, patch tablets, adhesives, flux, solder and anti-oxidation oil, solder paste, cleaning agent, etc.
; Reflow soldering machine, wave soldering machine and automatic production line equipment
.
Electronic production and processing equipment: electronic component manufacturing equipment, semiconductor and integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, component molding equipment, electronic tooling and molds
.
Machine vision systems have also been widely used in various aspects of quality inspection, and their products occupy a pivotal position in the application
.
In addition to this, machine vision is also used in various other fields
.

 

　　In China, the application of vision technology began in the 1990s.
Because the industry itself is an emerging field, coupled with the lack of popularization of machine vision product technology, the application of the above industries is almost blank
.
At present, domestic machine vision is mostly foreign brands
.
Most of the domestic machine vision companies basically started by acting as agents of various foreign machine vision brands.
With the continuous application of machine vision, the company has gradually grown in size and has gradually matured in technology
.

 

　　With the improvement of economic level, 3D machine vision has also begun to enter people's field of vision
.
3D machine vision is mostly used for the grading of fruits and vegetables, wood, cosmetics, baked goods, electronic components and pharmaceutical products
.
It increases the production capacity of qualified products and scraps inferior products early in the production process, thereby reducing waste and saving costs
.
This capability is ideal for imaging product attributes such as height, shape, quantity, and even color
.

 

　　In terms of industrial applications, there are mainly pharmaceutical, packaging, electronics, automobile manufacturing, semiconductor, textile, tobacco, transportation, logistics and other industries.
The use of machine vision technology to replace labor can improve production efficiency and product quality
.
For example, in the logistics industry, machine vision technology can be used to sort and classify express delivery, and most express companies will not perform manual sorting, reducing the damage rate of items, improving sorting efficiency and reducing manual labor
.
