Project description
A new light on 3D sensors with ultra-high resolution
The successful implementation of Industry 4.0 will lead to automated production environments in smart factories. As such, 3D sensor technology will play a major role. In this context, the EU funded ECCO95 project will bring a dual-head 3D sensor system with ultra-high-resolution to the manufacturing market. The sensor can be used for inspection, guidance, and to facilitate automatic handling, control, quality assurance and full documentation. Developed by Germany’s SmartRay, the market leader in cutting-edge 3D sensors, this new system delivers by 3D vision complete data sets on manufactured workpieces with the required accuracy – in time (especially high speed), in size and fully assessable in space (thickness and shadow free).
Objective
SmartRay, the market leader in cutting-edge 3D sensors, developed the worldwide first ultra-high-resolution dual-head 3D sensor system to be introduced in the manufacturing market. It delivers by 3D-vision complete data sets on manufactured workpieces with the required accuracy – in time (especially high speed), in size and fully assessable in space (thickness and shadow free). It can be used for inspection, guidance, enables automated handling, control, quality assurance and full documentation also of individual pieces. This 3D sensor will be inevitable for a successful implementation of Industry 4.0 and is fully in line with the European manufacturing 2030 vision. The current importance of 3D sensors is underpinned by a CAGR of up to 37% to $9 billion in 2016-2022. In 2023, we plan to realise a total turnover of 20 million €, with ECCO95 having a significant share of 39%, equalling 8 million €, and to create 44 new jobs. The main objective of the SME phase 1 project includes to identify a roadmap on how to implement ECCO95 most effectively into the market by ranking market
segments with respect to time and demands. Further criteria are low market barriers, market needs, willingness to pay. Pilot users will be selected to strongly prepare the market awareness followed by market penetration. The corresponding tasks include market assessment, customer involvement and technological viability and result in a feasibility report as core of a business plan. The tasks also address risks, mitigation and future opportunities. Electronics manufacturing, robot guidance for automotive assembly, or weld control seem to have priority without neglecting other segments. SmartRay is wellestablished in the 3D laser scanner market, laser regulations are adhered to and no legal/regulatory requirements prevent the market introduction of ECCO95. A broad patent base worldwide guarantees the freedom to operate.
