    This article from partner publication Control Design underscores how programmable-logic-controller (PLC) programming plays a pivotal role in automating these quality checks, facilitating the implementation of logical algorithms for consistent and efficient inspection processes.

    The integration of camera systems with PLCs involves considerations such as communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and Profinet), hardware compatibility and software integration with existing systems and programming languages.

    Successful PLC programming involves the implementation of image comparison algorithms, pattern recognition techniques, and barcode or QR-code readers to enhance the accuracy of inspections.
