Neurala VIA was on display at booth 5707, showcasing Anomaly HiFi, Anomaly Recognizer, Detector, and Classifier AI models covering a variety of challenging use cases. These use cases included:
- Highlighting surface defects in meshed metal fabric
- A kitting verification of the correct screw and washer placement
- A sand paper grit classifier of 3 different grades of grit
- A course surface scratch inspection with variance in the coarseness of each surface
We were running these live demos using DALSA Genie Nano, Blackfly S GigE and Firefly DL cameras, all from Teledyne. The ease of use of VIA was reinforced through demonstrations of data collection, model training and deployment to the production line in just minutes. Learn more about VIA here.
One of the highlights of Automate 2023 was the exhibition showcase, where leading companies and startups presented their cutting-edge technologies and solutions. The exhibition floor was bustling with over 25,000 registered attendees who were able to see live demonstrations from over 750 exhibitors. From collaborative robots and autonomous vehicles to smart sensors and AI-driven software, the showcase provided a glimpse into the future of automation across diverse industries.
Since returning from the show, I’ve read several good reviews of the technology showcased by exhibitors with some of the most comprehensive summaries linked below:
From the rise of autonomous vehicles and smart factories to advancements in healthcare and beyond, automation is reshaping industries in unprecedented ways. This year’s show was so successful that organizers have announced that Automate is transitioning to an annual event instead of bi-annually. In 2024, Automate will be held May 6-9 at McCormick Place in Chicago and the show will return to Detroit May 12-15, in 2025.
