OPEN MIND's enhanced software aims to cross the 'goal line'

Much like professional hockey with its power, speed, and grace, so too were some of technologies, techniques, and even milled items showcased at the OPEN MIND Technologies booth at IMTS 2024. 

Among the draws of this busy booth was a hockey theme that showed how its hyperMILL software technology can help manufacturers produce perfect finishes such as a brilliantly finished ice skate on display. The theme continued with a hockey stick and goalie mask. The difference, of course, was that these hockey tools were made of metals.

MERLIC 5.6 Provides Increased Connectivity
In MERLIC 5.6, some methods that were previously available on a test basis have been transferred to completely new tools. These tools are: “Count with Deep Learning”, “Segment Image Pixel-Precisely", and “Recognize Color”. With “Count with Deep Learning”, also known as Deep Counting, it is possible to count a large number of objects quickly and robustly with little training effort. There are many possible use cases for this feature, like for example completeness checks. “Segment Image Pixel-Precisely" makes it possible to localize trained defect classes with pixel precision.
