From May 28 to 30, the 2018 SNEC Solar PV Exhibition was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The exhibition, as one of the largest and most professional photovoltaic exhibitions in the world, attracted more than 1,800 companies from 95 countries and regions around the world, and was duly visited by more than 200,000 professionals from all over the world. Driven by the global demand for alternative energy sources, .Chinese photovoltaic industry has grown rapidly. In terms of equipment suppliers in the Chinese solar manufacturing industry, even if the number of local equipment suppliers in the market is increasing, key equipment is still provided by foreign brands. In the market of quality control equipment for photovoltaic components, the quality of silicon wafer sorting equipment is of great influence to the quality of wafers and the efficiency of subsequent conversion. Considering that the big gap between the technology of domestically produced equipment and the worlds advanced level still exists, without core competitiveness from domestic brands, china market can only rely on imported brands. However, the high cost, long lead time and poor response of imported equipment has always affected the quality control costs and production efficiency of wafer manufacturing enterprises. How do we achieve the localization of silicon sorting equipment? It is extremely urgent to further reduce the cost of Chinas photovoltaic industry and increase the competitiveness of domestic photovoltaic products in the international market. TZTEK, as a scientific and technological enterprise with the ability to develop submicron ultra-high-precision measurement instruments in China, presented its products - solar wafer sorting equipment in the SNEC exhibition. It is reported that this equipment is by far the domestically-manufactured equipment that can completely replace imported sorting equipment. Compared to the traditional capacity of 6,000 pieces/hour, TEZEK wafer sorting equipment has the capacity up to 8000 pieces/hour. “TZTEK solar wafer sorting equipment not only embodies machine vision technology and experience for many years, but also introduces deep learning AI software, enabling the optimal detection of sorting effect, while greatly shortening the debugging time and manpower investment of the equipment”, You Yi, the TZTEK Director of Major Clients, introduced. According to insiders, the equipment has been tested under the same conditions with foreign brands on customers site, and all performance indicators have reached or even surpassed foreign brands. The equipment has been highly recognized by customers on site, and cooperation agreements has been signed with photovoltaic leading companies such as GCL. This was also the result of TZTEK’s breakthrough in the industrys limit and the remolding of quality in China after the event in 2013 that “accurately pushed measurement accuracy to 0.3 micron, making China the third country to master the technology after Germany and Japan.” 《Source Solarbe.com》

This article is selected from Robot Circle Artificial intelligence has become the main driving force for the fourth industrial revolution represented by emerging technologies and industrial modes. From government affairs to business, from technology to life, a new vision for the future has been unfolded slowly. How should we seek new opportunities for development from the revolution? Recently, the RAIC Conference, co-sponsored by the China Center for Information Industry Development (CCID Group) and the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Alliance, was officially opened in Beijing. TZTEK, as the first representative of artificial intelligence enterprises in the industrial circle, was elected vice chairman of the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Alliance, and awarded the "Innovative Company" medal by RAIC at the same time. “AlphaGo” defeated the world Go champion Ke Jie in May this year. This "human-computer war" is also a remainder to people that the world is changing. However, in eyes of the development of artificial intelligence, such changes do not happen overnight, but are cradled in a long time. How do we promote innovation on the basis of technology accumulation, allowing new technologies and new products to emerge and develop at an exponential rate? To this end, the China Center for Information Industry Development united more than 150 organizations such as software and hardware product companies, application companies, investment institutions, institutions of higher learning, and local (park) development agencies (departments) in the field of artificial intelligence to voluntarily form the China Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Alliance, aiming at promoting the innovation and development of Chinese artificial intelligence industry, build an innovation cooperation and docking platform for artificial intelligence industry, integrate all kinds of industrial resources, provide industrial public services, and strive to do a good job of industrial eco-builders, technological innovation and distribution centers, production-and-melting adhesives, and industrial application propellers. Since foundation, TZTEK, as a high-growth new technology innovation company, has been committed to serving precision manufacturing enterprises with artificial intelligence and information technology to improve product quality, increase production efficiency, and reduce production costs. Adhering to independent R&D, TZTEK has developed four product lines: precision measurement instruments, machine vision products, automation solutions, robots and cloud services. Moreover, TZTEKs automated solutions are used to build and transform smart factories for precision manufacturing customers, and have been successfully applied to consumer electronics, automotive parts, and FMCG products. Besides, TZTEKs robots and cloud services, which is a key layout business for the era of artificial intelligence, can provide smart robots, cloud quality inspection services, and big data analysis services for precision manufacturing enterprises, TZTEK is the representative enterprise of Chinese precision manufacturing for artificial intelligence leaders and machine vision intelligent manufacturing experts. Chairman Xu Yihua made a speech entitled A New Generation of Industrial Robot Product Forms at the Robot Leaders’ Summit of RAIC Conference. He said that people generally think that a new generation of industrial robots must meet six standards: human-computer collaboration, IntelliSense, cheapness, easiness in use, light weight and load, and open platform. For the first two points in particular, he believed that the human-robot collaboration of industrial robots means that they can work synchronously with workers in industrial production, comply with the ISO 15066 collaborative robot design standards, support touch stop (power and force limitation) levels, and meet industry safety standards ISO 10218, ISO 12100 and ISO 13849. Besides, the positioning accuracy should reach 0.1 to 0.05 (with visual aids). IntelliSense is not an end but a means. He believed that vision sensors are embedded at low cost, and that IntelliSense can be implemented using Skyrim’s own powerful visual technology to develop highly integrated DSP+FPGA or ARM-based vision control integrated embedded expansion modules. The development of artificial intelligence is changing with each passing day. No matter it is from the unity of artificial intelligence industry innovation alliances, or from the field of visual perception of artificial intelligence to enable robots and cloud services by TZTEK, all signify that artificial intelligence is driving a comprehensive upgrade of industrial technology innovation. TZTEK has the ambition to become an artificial intelligence leader in the industrial field, and with the mission of scientific and technological innovation, explores application scenarios and ecological construction in the industrial field.

Under the background of industry 4.0 era centering smart manufacturing, with the deepening of the China Manufacturing 2025 Strategy, the market of industrial intelligent robot industry has shown an explosive growth momentum, and machine vision that plays as role of the "eye-catcher" for industrial robots has made undeniable contributions. Then how does machine vision give industrial robots a pair of “eyes” that can help industrial robots stride on the development road of industrial automation and intelligent industry 4.0 in the future? Why industrial robots need a pair of "eyes" Artificial intelligence, as the core technology of industrial robots, has been in a period of continuous rapid development in the last few years. Many robots have already possessed a very high level of intelligence, but still far fall short of the level of intelligence that humans envision. Rome cant be built in a day, and robots cant be smart at once. Machine vision The realization of industry automation requires highly intelligent industrial robots to replace part of human work. Obviously, to make robots replace human force, the first thing to do is to make them “see”. Industrial robots may judge things well only if they have the ability to observe things, so as to be smart and flexible to solve some problems on their own. Therefore, naturally it is fairly important to replace human eyes with machine vision for measuring and judging. The machine vision system can convert captured targets into an image signal through a machine vision product, i.e. an image capture device, and transmit it to a dedicated image processing system to obtain the morphological information of the target. According to pixel distribution, brightness, color, and other information, the image signal is transformed into a digital signal, and then the image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the characteristics of the target, and then controls the on-site equipment actions according to the discrimination results. How machine vision works in industrial applications The machine vision industry has a wide range of applications and mainly has four functions: 1. Guidance and positioning; visual positioning requires the machine vision system to quickly and accurately find the part under test and confirm its location. The machine vision is used for positioning when loading and unloading and for guiding the robot arm to accurately grasp. In the field of semiconductor packaging, devices need to adjust the pickup head according to the position information of the chip obtained by machine vision, accurately pick up and bind the chip. This is the most fundamental application of visual positioning in the machine vision industry. 2. Appearance test: Check whether there is any quality problem on the product line and it is also the link with the most replacement of human force. Machine vision mainly involves the medical field for dimensional inspection, bottle appearance defect detection, bottle shoulder defect detection, and bottleneck inspection, etc. 3. High-precision testing: Some products have high precision, reaching 0.01 ~ 0.02m even up to u-level. They cannot be observed by human eyes, and must be detected with machine. 4. Recognition means that the machine vision is used to process, analyze and understand images to identify various patterns of objects and targets, allowing data traceability and collection. It is widely used in the automotive parts, food, medicine and other applications. In summary, the feature of machine vision system is to improve the flexibility and automation of production, and is mainly used to replace artificial vision in the dangerous working environments that are not suitable for manual work or in situations where artificial vision is difficult to meet the requirements. In addition, in the process of large-scale industrial production, it is inefficient and inaccurate to check the product quality using artificial vision, while machine vision inspection methods can greatly improve the production efficiency and the degree of automation of production. Moreover, machine vision is easy to implement information integration and is the fundamental technology for achieving computer integrated manufacturing. The rapid development of Chinese industrial robot industry has shocked the world. The demand for industrial upgrading from manufacturing to smart manufacturing, the large scale of manufacturing market, the promotion of the China Manufacturing 2025 Strategy, and the numerous industrial layouts have created the “best of all time” for the development of industrial robots. Manufacturing masters are competing to lay out a smart factory, and it can be said that the robot industry has a great potential of rising. The demand scale of the entire manufacturing industry should not be underestimated, and the development of the industrial robot industry will certainly provide lots of opportunities for machine vision applications.
