A Work Assistance Camera System utilizing the latest Image Recognition Technology that automatically checks the result of manual assembly work.  The SC-10A uses the latest Image Recognition Technology to automatically inspect and confirm manufacturing processes during manual parts assembly.  An important feature of this product is its ease of set up by simply connecting a mouse, keyboard and monitor to it. This is because the RICOH SC-10A has integrated image recognition software and application. Work records like part’s serial numbers, actual working times, and much more can be collected in real time and used for process analysis, statistics and traceability etc. Settings data, like work instructions or checkpoints prepared for one workplace can comfortably be copied into other RICOH SC-10A devices in your plants around the world.

DATA SHEET

MAJOR FEATURES OF THE RICOH SC-10A

1. Prevention of work mistakes through image recognition
   • The integrated image recognition system compares the actual work results of individual work steps with pre-recorded correct versions, and such, detects when parts are missing or wrongly assembled.
   • Production efficiency is greatly increased because the system halts the work process until the work results of the individual steps are recognized as correct.
   • The system enables inexperienced new staff to work in the assembly process, by preventing work mistakes through image recognition and can be used for new staff training as well.
2. Integration of camera, image recognition and application in one device
   • Through this integration, complicated wiring, adjustments of the camera and application are avoided, because of the system’s ease of set up and use.
   • No expertise or knowledge in image recognition technology or programming are required for the administrator for setting up the RICOH SC-10A. Simply connect a mouse, keyboard and monitor to start using the system immediately.
   • The user simply follows the pre-recorded instructions on the monitor to progress the work process. After setting up the system, a mouse and keyboard are no longer required for actual operation.
   • As the RICOH SC-10A integrates everything together, no external PC is required, contributing to cost savings and a benefit to workspace limitations on site.
3. Contribution to the digitization of plants
   • Part’s serial numbers, actual work result images, etc. are saved to a removable SD-card, or in a shared folder on the network, contributing to the digitization of work results. These logged records can be used for traceability in quality management systems and for work analysis.
   • Work instructions on paper printouts and manual check sheets become obsolete by the use of the RICOH SC-10A, dramatically reducing paper use.
   • By use of the provided PC software, work instructions prepared in Microsoft® Office (Word, PowerPoint® & Excel®) are optimized for import into the RICOH SC-10A, meaning that customers can use their existing work instructions without the need to create new ones.

Models available:  SC-10A (Standard model) and SC-10A(H) (high-magnification model)
