New lab by PICVISA, always at the service of innovation and technology

Developing new sorting technology – new sensor combinations, new AI models, new applications for existing equipment – requires space to experiment that doesn't interfere with the equipment customers rely on for their day-to-day operations. PICVISA's new lab provides exactly this: a dedicated environment for testing ideas based on artificial intelligence and machine vision before they're ready for broader deployment.

Innovation, one of the values of PICVISA

Innovation only happens consistently when it has a place to happen – without dedicated space and resources, new ideas tend to get pushed aside by the demands of existing projects and customer commitments. A lab dedicated to exploring new applications of AI and machine vision gives PICVISA's innovation work the room it needs, separate from the pressures of day-to-day operations.

The kinds of experiments this lab supports range from testing new sensor configurations on novel material combinations, to training and refining AI models on data that wouldn't otherwise be available for experimentation, to exploring entirely new applications for the underlying technology – the same kind of exploration that has previously led to applications like reverse vending machines under the Powered by PICVISA initiative. Having a dedicated space for this work means these explorations can happen continuously, rather than only when capacity allows on equipment that's otherwise committed to customer projects.
