VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 5, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Braintech, Inc. (OTCBB:BRHI), a leading provider of vision guided robotic, ("VGR") software solutions, announced today that it will be exhibiting at the 2005 International Robots & Vision Show, September 27-29th at the Rosemont Convention Centre in Rosemont, Illinois.
Braintech will showcase its product "eVisionFactory"(tm), ("eVF")(tm). Featuring patented SC3D(tm), (single camera 3D) technology, eVF is the only software studio platform that allows project teams to build complete, production grade, 3D location, inspection and guidance systems without writing a single line of code.
Included as parts of eVF are time-saving software components; Autocal(tm), Autotrain(tm) and Autotest(tm). Using eVF automated functions, developers can build, integrate and install fully-functional, reliable systems at an unprecedented speed.
Demonstrations on how to build a 3D location, inspection or guidance software solution using eVF, will be located at the Braintech booth #1912, in the trade show's Vision Section. To view a complete Trueview(tm) 3D-VGR system, attendees can visit Braintech's exclusive automotive sector partner, global robotic manufacturer ABB, in the Robots Section at booth #719.
Commenting on the launch of eVF at the Robots & Vision Show, Owen Jones, CEO of Braintech Inc. states, "As an integral technology to ABB's Trueview VGR systems, eVF has emerged as a proven reliable software application for developing production level 3D- guidance solutions for a broad set of automotive manufacturing processes. Now, we're interested in exploring the use of eVF outside the automotive sector and welcome the interest of project teams involved in exploring the use of 3D machine vision. Key markets include government, medical, and semi-conductor."
Babak Habibi, President and COO of Braintech Inc. added, "eVF is designed for use by project engineers and technicians. With standard training, a project member is fully capable of developing a complete solution, ready for integration with any type of electro-mechanical device. By utilizing the 'auto' components, much of the time consuming and 'heavy-lifting' during installation is eliminated."
In addition to Braintech exhibiting at the show, Babak Habibi will be co-presenting with Rodney Shurtliff, Advisory Engineer of the Idaho National Laboratory, ("INL"), Battelle Energy Alliance, ("BEA"), at the show conference on Wednesday September 28th at 8:00AM. INL is currently developing and constructing a prototype Waste Package Closure System, for the Yucca Mountain repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel in Nevada. Habibi and Shurtliff's presentation at the workshop, entitled Vision Guided Robots, will highlight Braintech's VGR software application, which analyzes images from a radiation resistant camera mounted on the Remote Handling System to determine the exact 3D location of each tool and the waste package in the non-fixtured environment of the closure cell.
