In this episode of Wired & Inspired, I’m joined by Jack McKinley, Head of Development at TPL Vision, to explore the engineering behind high-performance lighting systems in machine vision. We dive into the challenges of embedded design, LED driver development, thermal and power management, and how lighting choices can define the success of automated inspection systems. Jack shares insights into current industry trends, the growing role of AI and intelligent control, and the evolution of embedded systems shaping the next generation of vision technology.
