Laser triangulation is a great 3D scanning technique for high-speed applications. But what happens when the CMOS chip in your 3D sensor can’t keep pace? In this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, Gretchen Alper of Automation Technology (AT) GmbH joins TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll and Amanda Del Buono to discuss how this challenge led to the development of a CMOS chip with on-sensor intelligence. The technology now enables processing rates as fast as 30 gigapixels per second and is changing the game for applications from logistics to road inspection. Alper also discusses her journey as a woman navigating the automation and manufacturing space, starting from her early career as an applications engineer to her current role as AT’s Business Director for North America.
