Innovation as the foundation of AVICON's development
AVICON is a company that constantly invests in the development of vision technologies through research and development (R&D) activities. As a beneficiary of EU development programs, we acquire funds for innovation and the implementation of modern technologies that revolutionize industry and respond to growing market demands. Our research work is focused on creating advanced systems that improve production and quality control in many industries.
The project implementation concluded with the confirmation of the research hypotheses and the development of a device prototype. It enables precise color measurement of transparent and opaque objects during the production process. The system is based on area data and uses a hyperspectral camera and advanced spectral-color analysis algorithms. The developed illuminators provide measurement conditions leading to results compliant with applicable standards. The prototype, tested under production conditions, opens new possibilities in quality control and automation of industrial processes.
A novel sorting device has been developed that classifies objects based on their spectral characteristics, color, or inductance. Machine learning algorithms ensure efficient analysis of complex image data. The machine consists of a conveyor belt, an image acquisition system based on hyperspectral cameras, a data analysis module using, among others, an LGBM classifier, and a pneumatic separation system. The device has been tested under industrial conditions, enabling effective sorting of waste according to its physicochemical properties. Key challenges related to hyperspectral data analysis, including in the MWIR range (2.7-5.3 µm), were addressed as part of the work.
As a result of our research, a working prototype of a modular sorting machine was created. Our machine is capable of sorting materials in the form of small flakes/granules, selecting them based on color, size, and shape. The working prototype has been presented at many industry events, including Automaticon and PlastPol.
The hyperspectral head is the next stage in the development of sorting technology. Analyzing objects based on their properties visible in different spectral ranges allows, for example, the classification of materials they are made of. Hyperspectral technology is undeniably the next stage in the development of vision systems, representing the near future.
The project involved the creation of a complete measurement system for both in-line and off-line implementation. This is the first Polish product combining Time-of-Flight technology, laser triangulation, and measurements using telecentric ray paths. The device was presented at the Warsaw Industry Week fair.
We develop and implement dedicated LED illuminators, including hyperspectral and stroboscopic ones, which allow for exceptional image quality with minimal flash time (around 100 ns).
Thanks to our continuous activity in the vision systems integration market, we have a modern laboratory. Additionally, support in the form of EU funds has allowed us to acquire new equipment necessary for project implementation. We have our own hall where we can simulate an entire industrial production line. This allows our clients to test our systems and make decisions regarding investments in new machine vision technologies.


Our R&D work also includes the development of vision systems dedicated to recycling and waste segregation. We use the experience gained during hyperspectral projects to develop an advanced system for classifying and segregating waste by material. Our activity in the field of recycling has been recognized by the Waste Management and Recycling Cluster, where we are an active member.
AVICON is a company that passionately and committedly develops vision technologies, using R&D funds and unique know-how. With each project, we strive to implement solutions that will revolutionize industry, increase production efficiency, and positively impact product quality. Our innovative approach, modern laboratory, and experience in implementing research and development projects make us ready to meet the requirements of even the most demanding clients.
