Contribution to the factory io project 120 (Sort boxes by type using machine vision)

Hello:

Question for Adriana and the rest of the Factory IO team

As you can see, this contribution is a performance test of a system created with a PLC, VB.NET, and its simulator using machine vision. This test consists of a series of incremental adjustments that will make the interaction between the three elements of the system increasingly difficult. The details are shown in the image… the machine must exceed half its speed to be considered valid…

The question is obvious: how do you think Factory IO will perform in these tests? Do you think it will pass or fail?

What do you, the creators, think will happen?

Regards

Hello;

Here are the first tests. As you can see, at speed 70 and with the boxes ticking every second, the system, including Factory IO, seems to be responding well. Now we’re implementing counters and we’ll see what happens…

Regards.

Hello:

Here are the test results: 70% works flawlessly, and 80% performs well 80% of the time. Therefore, the system is rated as excellent. However, in a real-world scenario without Factory IO, using a physical PLC directly on the machine, I guarantee a speed of 80 %, I’d even say 90 %.

Ideally, the students and their professors would replicate this on the prototypes they have in class. This would provide more realistic results and an experience for the students.

It’s called research and development, because always following the same path is going backwards.
