Krevera, Wittmann, Kreate team up for NPE demo of advanced AI vision technology
Visitors to NPE 2027 in Orlando May 3-7 will have an opportunity to see Krevera’s AI vision system in operation in a collaboration with Wittmann and Kreate, a product development company that, among other things, injection molds small storage totes.
Two working injection molding cells are currently planned. One will mold the tote bases or containers, and the other will mold the lids, said Jason Long, vice president of sales for Wittmann USA Inc.
Wittmann will provide the molding machines, robots and custom automation to produce the pieces, then assemble them for NPE visitors. Kreate, the manufacturer of totes, will supply the molds, and Krevera will supply the AI vision systems and hardware.
Each cell will be equipped with a Krevera AI vision system, including the company’s AI software that will detect part defects. The system will automatically adjust molding machine parameters to fix the product quality.
“At NPE, we're going to set up two cells using that technology … We look forward to showcasing this partnership and true autonomous vision and molding technology,” Long said.
