Integration technology that leads the standard in industrial automation

AIM's integration technology brings AimFactoryCore vision, feeder, and robot control onto one platform, so calibration error is checked on screen in mm and one recipe switches the model. It works with standard integration for many brands and 2 dedicated integrations (Hyundai Robotics · Agilebot).

About AIM

Integration technology that leads the standard in industrial automation

RoboEYE integrated vision at the center, AIVE and FlexiBowl handling the feeding, and a calibration result screen that shows the average, minimum, and maximum error in mm.

Complex automation, made simple

AIM's integration technology controls robot, vision, and feeder from one screen. Pick one recipe and the vision, robot, and feeder conditions are applied together.

Core Structure

One platform, four core technologies

Everything AIM builds runs as one workflow across the four components below.

Robot Integration

Robot integration

Standard integration with many robots including ABB, Yaskawa, Hyundai, and Epson. Per-brand coordinate conversion and communication templates are provided, and Hyundai Robotics and Agilebot are operated directly by the software.

Vision & Calibration

Vision recognition and calibration

Recognition, inspection, and calibration on a single platform. Beyond camera calibration, the software also computes tool (TCP) calibration and shows the deviation alongside.

Flexible Feeding System

Feeding and supply

AIVE/FlexiBowl automatically disperse and orient parts of various sizes. One recipe selection handles multi-model changeover.

Integration Controller

Control and data management

One UI for robot, vision, and feeder. Recipes and settings are saved atomically, so they survive power cuts and forced shutdowns.

Detailed Modules

Each technology block in detail

1. Robot Integration

Full integration with industrial robots

  • 2 dedicated integrations — Hyundai Robotics and Agilebot
  • Up to 6 picks sent per capture
  • Robot script editing and variable lint

The software handles per-brand coordinate conversion and communication. The picks the vision finds are handed to the robot registers up to 6 at a time, and the coordinates actually sent and the values the robot received can be read back on screen.

2. Matching Engine

The matching engine that finds the part

  • 0.5° fine angle search · sub-pixel interpolation
  • About 0.5 s per cycle — full 2592×1944 search and verification included, capture and robot transfer excluded
  • AVX2 acceleration · automatic fallback on unsupported CPUs

Tells apart rotated parts, overlapping parts, and look-alike parts to produce a pick position. Candidates that were ambiguous on site are marked [pick] or [no-pick], and that feedback is trained back in, so the engine fits the line better the more it is used.

3. Vision & Calibration

Precision vision · coordinate calibration

  • Checkerboard / Circle Target
  • Distortion Correction
  • Tool (TCP) calibration · deviation visualization

The calibration result is not a promised value but the value the screen produces. At the calibration result step, the average, minimum, and maximum error are shown in mm. The tool center is computed automatically by circle-fitting the coordinates obtained by rotating the robot about one point, and the radius deviation (±mm) is shown alongside so the precision can be seen.

4. Flexible Feeding System

Flexible feeding, fast changeover

  • 0.01–125 mm measured part range
  • Recipe-based batch changeover
  • Up to 50 ea/min · typically 20–30 ea/min depending on part shape

AIVE and FlexiBowl automatically disperse and orient parts of various sizes and shapes for high-mix, low-volume production. Pick one recipe and the vision, robot, and feeder conditions are applied together.

5. Integration Controller

Integrated control and data management

  • Atomic saves · automatic recovery on corruption
  • Daily snapshot backup (latest 30)
  • Hyundai Robotics Modbus link monitoring · automatic reconnect

Robot, vision, and feeder are controlled together from one screen. Recipes and settings are always left in a complete state even if power drops mid-save, and if corruption is detected they are restored automatically from the last good copy. If the Hyundai Robotics Modbus link drops silently, the monitoring loop catches it and reconnects.

Robot Integration

We wrote the robot integrations ourselves.

Every brand speaks a different protocol. AIM built plug-ins for six of them so the feeder and vision are driven from inside the robot controller. Each implementation record is published.
