of a vision system is slow, labor intensive, and dependent on physical samples – golden parts, borderline pass / fail parts, and every variant in every color, size, and design. Manufacturers often need to run large production batches to understand thresholds, variation, and edge cases. In some cases, teams wait months for the right parts to appear.
“ With VisionTools, none of this is required. The system can be trained directly from 3D CAD models, generating synthetic images for all variants before a single part exists. The system generates unlimited artificial reference images before series production begins.”
As automotive manufacturers face growing pressures from rising costs, supply chain complexity, cybersecurity risks, skills shortages, and evolving regulations, Atlas Copco has also introduced its Common Control Platform to simplify and future-proof production. The platform’ s unified architecture enables multiple manufacturing technologies to operate through a single interface, improving productivity, reducing integration and training requirements, and lowering total cost of ownership. Built with cybersecurity and regulatory compliance at its core, the platform also provides a scalable foundation for data-driven manufacturing, supporting advanced
