TRANSCRIPT:
At Automation NTH we, we just don't take the easy job. We're going to go after those difficult jobs because, you know, the competition has failed. And if the competition's failed and we succeed, I think that's a feather in our cap. It's something that uh we take a lot of pride in. We spend a lot of our effort and focus serving our life science customers, medical device assembly, consumer product, automotive, lots of different industries for sure. The great thing is we're make, we're building machines that help people. The thing that can also be somewhat intimidating is we're building machines that help people. And so we need to do that very precisely and well. And to use the deep learning technologies has really helped us solve some challenges that couldn't be done before. These parts could be covered in water, uh water droplets, oil, you know, they could be in various condition. I mean, the part could be rerun, uh or an engine component could be rerun and come through the line after it's already had oil put in it, making sure everything gets assembled correctly. Quality is the number one concern without a doubt. When the customer can take over something, I think that's, that's really important. They had a false failure.
To take that image, add it back into the training set, hit a button five minutes later it's ready and then redeploy the runtime workspace and now, now everything's, you know, working back to 100%. You know, that was a great example of just huge savings for the customer because they didn't have to call somebody in it wasn't down for a day because they couldn't trust it. They didn't have to bring on someone uh to do the manual inspections. It was a matter of, hey, I had my image retrain it and now I'm good to go. So the relationship between Cognex and Automation NTH is that of collaboration, we work well together, we come to solutions together and that back and forth collaboration is, is, is key. We feel very comfortable reaching out to Cognex to get help when we have leads that come in and we need some help. Uh And our Cognex team also is great about reaching out to us and say, hey, we have a customer who has a partic - uh potential need. We think Automation NTH would be a great uh advocate for coming in and solving their challenge. So it's a good partnership both ways and how we can solve those challenges together. One thing that I always like to say when it comes to computer vision, now with the, with AI being introduced into the world is it is completely changed the way I think about a computer vision problem. You know, I, I think in terms of vision pro deep learning now, that's one of the things that's really excited me about the way Cognex has formulated their product is it really brings to a customer solutions that haven't been there before and it, and it's things that they can understand.
