Growing demand for vision-guided robotics systems

Recently, vision-guided robotics systems have led to significant changes in the machine vision market. There has been a rapid growth in the use of industrial robots for automation in the automotive and consumer electronics sectors. This is leading to an increasing need for the integration of machine vision systems with vision-guided robot controllers. Machine vision systems enhance the efficiency of robots by allowing them to see and respond to their environments.

Restraints

Varying end-user requirements

The importance of machine vision is likely to increase in the manufacturing sector, as the industry undergoes a gradual transition from product standardization to product customization. It is difficult to develop a standard machine vision system, as there are several manufacturing industries to cover, and specifications differ based on individual customer requirements.

Robotic cell machine vision market expected to grow at a faster rate in the machine vision market

Based on deployment, the machine vision market has been segmented into a general machine vision system and robotic cell. Robot cells are cost-effective and can handle increasing number of product variants as component types can be changed without stopping the production process, simply by changing the inspection software and robot program. Also, robot cells are more accurate and reliable as the field of view of the camera, and perspective can be tailored. Therefore, robotic cells are growing at a faster rate than general machine vision market.

Smart Camera-based machine vision market to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period

The smart camera-based machine vision system is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period as smart camera-based machine vision systems are cost-effective, compact, and flexible since it is easier to implement changes in these systems based on revised regulations and standards. In addition, with the advancements in smart camera technology and IoT, which can be easily be integrated with smart cameras, and the penetration of the smart camera-based machine vision systems is likely to increase in the next few years.

Predictive maintenance to hold grow at the fastest rate in the machine vision market during the forecast period

Predictive maintenance helps in reducing the cost as compared to other techniques like time-based preventive maintenance. Thus, it is carried out when a particular item is in the degradation state. The ultimate aim is to provide cost-saving over schedule-based preventive maintenance or unplanned reactive maintenance, which could result in machinery being unavailable during critical periods. Thus, predictive maintenance is growing at the fastest rate in the machine vision market during the forecast period.

Automotive industry to hold the largest market in the machine vision market during the forecast period

In the automotive sector, the machine vision system provides improved accuracy in critical activities, including bin picking and positioning of parts, such as doors and panels, for assembly. Due to the shortage of skilled laborers and the reducing manufacturing prices of automobiles, automobile companies are focusing more on automation in their production processes. Therefore, the automotive sector will hold the largest machine vision market in the future.
