Topic: Improving Application Cycle Time

In a 3D vision–guided robotic application, the application cycle time refers to the total time from image capturing, vision processing, robot path planning, and the robot performing pick-and-place actions.

Application cycle time is the sum of the cycle time of each processing phase of a 3D vision–guided robotic application, which reflects the real-time performance and overall performance of the vision system. Improving application cycle time not only increases production line efficiency and throughput, but also reduces downtime due to inspection or processing delays, thus enhancing equipment utilization.

This topic is intended to guide you in improving the cycle time of your 3D vision-guided application.
