The Future of Machine Vision - Calem Harris, Staples

The demand for machine vision (MV), paired with machine learning (ML), in industrial automation has exploded over the last few years. It is now used in medical, military, supply chain, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and in commercial industries just to name a few. These investments are becoming significantly more lucrative and viable to business leaders as labor markets continue to see a decrease in employees that are willing to perform manual functions, while at the same time, the minimum wage continues to increase. Industry giants are therefore turning to MV and ML to fill these labor voids and decrease their operational costs. Calem Harris, Staples joins our J.D. Miller to discuss how MV and ML are incorporated in industrial automation. We will explore the different steps required to implement these technologies with progressive steps to accomplish more autonomous functionality, while exposing the challenges of implementing them successfully. We will wrap up with the future of MV and ML, and the opportunities that exist for these technologies.
