Having worked on several different systems, the first negative that we encounter is the learning curve for anything new. The increased integration time can make up the difference in hardware cost. The second thing is platform limitations. Without going up the learning curve, it is impossible to know the limitations are for a given platform. More specifically what are the limitations for a given platform performing a given inspection and meeting the customer requirements. If you get to the 11th hour on a project and something is in the way of meeting a required level of performance then the only thing that you can do is change out the whole system (which is far more costly). This is why we tend to spend a bit more on hardware, favour powerful systems over simple-to-use, and use what we already know.

In image processing <b>you</b> can describe your needs and you have a good knowledge about the technical details behind the surface. But what about person who are not that experienced?<br /><br />I'm wondering what happens if you have an application that is solvavle with a Checker but you are offered an InSight plus illumination plus integration support. You have to trust your contact person as you don't have that much experience.<br />Is trusting "one for all" fair in this situation? What, if you know your needs but not how to solve it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
