2018 Innovators Awards: Platinum-level honorees

Platinum-level award honorees of our 2018 Innovators Awards Program are as follows (categories in parentheses):

• Keyence Corporation of America: Multi-Spectrum Vision System (Vision systems).

Keyence’s Multi-Spectrum Vision System uses monochrome cameras to capture 8 images with 8 different wavelengths of light, visible and non-visible, in the blink of an eye. So fast, in fact, that the images can even be captured and inspected for moving parts. On every trigger, each pixel captures an intensity value for every flash of color – ultraviolet, blue, green, amber, red, far-red, Infrared, and white, allowing for analysis to be performed based on 256⁸ levels of color differentiation, as compared to 256³ levels in conventional color cameras, without any loss of spatial resolution, according to the company
