From food processing to consumer goods packaging, from pharmaceutical inspection to automotive assembly—Cognex® vision systems and vision software can solve the most difficult color applications, including color-based part inspection, product identification and assembly verification, and highly sensitive monitoring of color hues.

Additionally, many tools use the Cognex patented geometric pattern matching technology—the ultimate tool to find color samples allowing for translation, rotation, scale, and skew. And other advanced color tools can solve applications such as those listed below:

Color recognition
Identify colored parts for processing and packaging, especially when items are identical in shape.

Color inspection
Verify components based upon color prior to assembly and detect defects that go unseen in black and white images.

Color sorting
Sort parts and products by color on
high-speed processing, assembly and packaging lines.

Color verification
Ensure color consistency, discriminating between subtle differences in color, when color can be influenced by environmental factors or may vary by batch.
