“Increased Integration of SWIR Cameras in Industrial Machine Vision Systems”
- One of the primary forces driving the growth of the North America SWIR market is the rising deployment of short-wave infrared (SWIR) cameras in machine vision applications across manufacturing and inspection processes.
- SWIR imaging systems are highly effective in detecting material defects, analyzing surface properties, and inspecting sub-surface features that are invisible under visible light. These capabilities are especially critical in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, electronics, and food processing.
For instance,
- In October 2021, FLIR Systems launched its Boson+ SWIR camera module targeting precision industrial inspection, offering enhanced sensitivity and compact form factor—addressing increasing demand in wafer inspection and quality control.
- This trend of automation and optical inspection using SWIR is contributing to improved manufacturing accuracy, reduced production defects, and better operational efficiency, making it a key driver of market expansion.
