AI-Powered 4D Vision for Robotic Automation
Apera AI makes factories more productive by providing collaborative and traditional robots with human-like vision intelligence and deep learning capabilities. Apera's groundbreaking 4D Vision Technology is built around proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms that control object recognition, robotic pose estimation, and path planning.
4D Vision Technology is operated through robotic work cells using Apera Vue Vision Software. Apera Vue is robotic brand-agnostic while giving them new powers—significantly faster decision-making and increased resilience to changes in lighting. By proving out applications in a simulation environment, customers have greater certainty of ROI from their automation investments.
Technologies
Apera AI is all about making robotic automation easier by providing robots with human-like vision intelligence.
Apera Vue Robotic Vision Software
Apera AI trains your parts into our AI engine through 1 million simulated cycles to reach 99.99% reliability.
The AI learns to understand your parts completely, so the robot can take the fastest, safest, most reliable path in and out of movements to handle the parts.
4D Vision Technology
4D Vision Technology is artificial intelligence taught to see the world like humans do. With simple 2D machine vision cameras, this technology guides robots with speed and precision by following a machine learning training process.
Common Applications
Apera AI’s 4D Vision Technology unlocks new levels of productivity and uptime for vision-guided robotics in popular industries and applications.
Automotive
Solve automotive manufacturing problems in robotic guidance, bin picking, assembly, and machine feeding using AI-powered vision software. Increase accuracy, reduce repairs, and improve part quality with Apera.
Bin Picking
Make robotic bin picking stations smarter and faster. Apera AI’s Vue software offers an industry-leading total vision cycle time—as low as 0.3 seconds. Robots are fast to respond, even when objects have complex geometries, clear exteriors, or difficult finishes.
Robotic Assembly
Make your assembly lines more efficient and reliable by integrating Apera AI's Vue software in your robotic cells. 2D cameras are mounted over the operating area, and the operator loads the Vue Vision program they need to run that day. Set-up can happen in just hours.
Machine Tending
Do more with less by using Apera AI vision software to guide robots feeding CNC and laser marking machines. Move valuable workforce team members away from tedious duties and increase production of parts with extra shift production.
Packaging & Kitting
4D Vision for product packaging includes pick and place of multiple item shapes and finishes. Vue software can help you improve productivity in packaging and kitting applications where speed, precision, and label orientation really matter.
Sorting
Harness fast and accurate sorting to identify items, even when they are mixed together. Program to retrieve the sorted item and transition it to its designated location with ease, be it a specific bin or the subsequent phase in the process.
