Conveyor-based IoT Platform for Machine Vision Tasks

Abstract

The progress in conveyor belt automation and digitalization will revolutionize our classrooms, offering endless possibilities. Students can practice remotely by connecting through intuitive software and controlling the conveyor via Internet of Things technology. Experimentation can range from using classical control algorithms and monitoring real-time results through a built-in camera to leveraging an artificial vision system for applying both traditional algorithms and novel techniques to solve vision tasks. All this is possible without losing the option of physically interacting with the equipment, seamlessly switching between remote and manual control.
