Problem
Many industries still rely on manual labor for tasks requiring precise 3D object recognition and manipulation, leading to inefficiencies and potential safety hazards. Existing 3D vision systems often struggle with accuracy, speed, and the ability to handle diverse material properties and environmental conditions.
Solution
CLE Inc. develops and provides advanced 3D vision systems and solutions that enable automation in manufacturing and other sectors. Their core product, the CoPick3D camera, utilizes hybrid structured light and phase shift technology combined with proprietary AI algorithms to achieve robust and precise 3D reconstruction, even from weak reflections. Paired with CoPick Brain, a processing and software suite, the system facilitates real-time analysis, pose estimation, and robot guidance for applications such as glass insertion and wheel mounting. CLE's technology enables robots to accurately detect, analyze, and manipulate objects in 3D space, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving overall process efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers in the automotive, glass, and general manufacturing industries seeking to automate tasks such as glass insertion, wheel mounting, and quality inspection.
