Episode 6 - Kamel Saidi from NIST

Kamel Saidi, an engineer within the Intelligent Systems Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) joins David Dechow, Consulting Director of Vision Technology and Education at TECH B2B Marketing in this episode of Manufacturing Matters. NIST works with industry and academia to create critical measurement solutions and helps develop standards with ASTM International to improve manufacturing processes through advanced technology. For example, the ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems (including the subcommittee on Industrial Machine Vision Systems) is creating standards to evaluate 3D imaging’s performance in manufacturing applications, including depth error, depth resolution, and bin picking. Saidi also discusses how teams of researchers working hands-on with robots and vision systems benefits the resulting standards – and the manufacturers who use them.Support the show
