MODIA, A.S. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
The subject of the project ‘Establishment of the MODIA, a.s. Industrial Development Centre’ was the expansion of the research and development capacity of MODIA a.s. Technologies were acquired to create a modern research and development centre for products closely related to the principles of Industry 4.0.
Project successfully completed: March 2021

- conducting tests and trials to increase the level of a wide area of production
- allows practical verification and testing of various type activities that these robots can not only work alongside people, but even work directly with people on one task, while ensuring both absolute safety and the necessary flexibility and productivity
- allows companies to quickly and effectively test how to adapt production to changing market requirements
- allows small, medium and large companies to test in practice that they can easily install, program and operate them thanks to tools and unique SW.
- performing physical trials and tests during development works related to the replacement of operators by robots in such a way that they fully copy these human activities – such as opening guards, loading semi-finished products intended for machining, taking machined parts and performing partial control measurements using gauges and camera systems, sorting OK and NOK parts.
- Matrix camera control system
- Camera system using a 5MP camera with a choice of focal length (field of view).
- The main controller has its own setting software and allows the connection of the display unit for online monitoring of control algorithms or the recording of the control on an FTP server or recording media (SD card, USB flash drive).
- It is possible to connect various types of lighting to the camera system, such as Multicoloured lighting with a choice of colour spectrum, lighting enhancing product scanning in 3D and possibly standard linear lighting.
- The system allows standard checking of the presence of products, colour, counting pieces, the possibility of complex measurement and counting algorithms or camera navigation for moving parts on a belt in operation.
- Line scan camera control system
- In-line camera system using a line scan camera with an 8k resolution (up to 67MPx), with a choice of focal length options and a 97.7kHz scanning frequency.
- The main controller has its own setting software and allows the connection of the display unit for online monitoring of control algorithms or the recording of the control on an FTP server or recording media (SD card, USB flash drive).
- The camera system has external lighting for the line scan camera to improve detection accuracy and eliminate the effects of ambient light conditions.
- The system enables control mechanisms for finding defects and scratches on rotating parts or rollers. The camera allows in-line inspection of parts on, for example, the conveyor belt, quality control on unwound rolls, etc.
Access to the research infrastructure is granted to other users through a commercial service.
