Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to interpret a brief for the vision system requirements of a production or space and to design a plan for the installation of vision systems. The development of a vision system plan requires considerable knowledge of the operational aspects of all types of vision systems and would normally be undertaken by senior technicians or technical directors.
