• We implemented a smart camera system to check the alignment of two metal sheets before robotic spot welding. Each sheet had a punched hole, and the goal was to ensure that the holes overlapped, allowing visibility through them without misalignment. We used passive backlighting for this process.
• The cameras (used in two robotic cells) were placed in a cavity with pressurized air. During welding, a valve was activated to maintain positive pressure in the cavity, preventing sparks, hot debris, and dust from entering and damaging the camera optics.

We partner with Bekaert, a global leader in steel wire transformation and coating technologies, known for over 140 years of expertise. Bekaert is committed to shaping the future of mobility and sustainability by providing innovative steel cord solutions for tire reinforcement. Their cutting-edge products not only reduce tire weight and rolling resistance but also contribute to more sustainable, longer-lasting, and intelligent solutions.

As a trusted partner, Bekaert's vision of 'establishing the new possible' aligns with our shared ambition to build a better future for generations to come.

Machine Vision System for Danfoss

• We have implemented a machine vision system for detecting clutch types during the production process at Danfoss.

The collaboration between Trifid Automation and the European Space Agency led to the successful development and delivery of complex star simulator for FGS positioning sensors. We continued the project in the PECS7 challenge in cooperation with MFF UK, addressing the impact of light pollution on the AOCS functionality of FGS sensors.

Key Project:

Delivery of a Star Simulator for Fine Guidance Sensor under PECS5. The simulator enables development and testing of algorithms used for FGS-type sensors for precise positioning of astronomical satellites of the European Space Agency (ESA). This project specifically aims to support ESA missions in enhancing astronomical research.

• Successful delivery of the SkySim4FGS software package with the required functionality.
• We added another tool to ESA's arsenal for developing and testing algorithms used for FGS-type sensors for precise positioning of astronomical satellites.

Heineken Slovakia

• We have implemented a camera-based OCR detection system for Heineken Slovakia, capable of inspecting beer cans at a speed of 200 cans per minute.

IKEA Industry Slovakia - Trnava Plant

• We have implemented an online detection system at the Trnava plant to identify holes in wood-based boards during the production process.

Kongsberg Automotive
