Proud Automation, along with Cognex Corporation, has tapped into the power of deep learning’s neural networks and is pleased to announce the newest advancements in deep learning technology. New, low-cost hardware has made it practical to deploy bio-inspired, multi-layered “deep” neural networks that mimic neuron networks in the human brain. Starting from a core logic developed during initial training, deep neural networks can continuously refine their performance with new images, speech, and text. This gives manufacturing technology amazing new abilities to recognize images, distinguish trends, and make intelligent predictions and decisions.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pittsburgh, PA, June 10, 2020 – Leading industrial automation companies, Proud Automation and Cognex Corporation, have tapped into the power of deep learning’s neural networks and are pleased to announce the newest advancements in deep learning technology.
Deep learning has emerged as a foundational technology in:
▪ Speech, text, and facial recognition
▪ Mobile and wearable devices
▪ Medical diagnostics
▪ Internet security
Deep learning technology is used to predict patterns and make critical business decisions. This same technology is now migrating into advanced manufacturing practices for quality inspection and other judgment-based uses. Deep learning teaches robots and machines to do what comes naturally to humans: to learn by example.

Cognex combines the specificity and flexibility of human visual inspection with the reliability, consistency, and speed of a computerized system. Deep learning models can precisely and repetitively solve difficult vision applications that would be too complicated to program and frequently impossible to maintain using traditional machine vision approaches. Deep learning models can distinguish unacceptable defects while tolerating natural variations in complex patterns–and they can be readily adapted to new examples without re-programming their core algorithms.
Machine vision solutions include:
▪ Part location
▪ Inspection
▪ Classification
▪ Character recognition
