Commercially Proven Products are being used Every Day
The government and defense space includes many labor intensive and hazardous tasks that can now be reliably automated with vision guided robotics. Robotic VISION Technologies' experience with industrial vision technology and its dedicated research and development group, with over 151 years of expertise, ideally positions the company to develop additional specialized applications.
Many applications that are currently being used in industry--such as materials handling, part assembly and inspection--could be easily applied to tasks necessary to the government. Many other applications could also be adapted for use, such as vision intelligence for surveillance, object location, tracking and recognition.
Benefits of Utilizing eVF-Powered Robots
- Automates previously tedious, time-consuming manual labor
- Takes soldiers out of harm's way
- Reduces ergonomic issues
- Drastically reduces errors
- Prevents damage and contamination by eliminating manual handling
- Detects defects by using in-line visual inspection for every part
Although Robotic VISION Technologies is a newly organized private company, it owns technology that has been commercially approved through research, development and state-of-the-art vision software deployments since 1994. To date, RVT’s technology has been deployed in over 170 product installations at Ford, GM, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, Boeing, Battelle, Johnson & Johnson, Delphi, BAE Systems and others. Over $250 million dollars of capital equipment operate every day with RVT vision software.
The Company offers a fully diversified product offering to industrial markets and to the robust government and military defense market. The Company is currently going through a process of educating these new markets on its technology and products. Going forward, a majority of RVT’s revenues will come from the government and defense market, where there is a large and untapped potential for the Company’s proprietary vision software and services in many areas including the following:
