ABB Completes Shipment of Six TrueView(TM) Vision Guided Robotics Systems Powered by Braintech's eVF(TM)

Braintech's Technology to Drive Enhanced Efficiencies at Ford Motor Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C., Nov. 4 -- Braintech, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: BRHI) , a pioneer in Vision Guided Robotics("VGR"), today announced the shipment of six TrueView(TM) VGR systems, powered by Braintech's software platform, eVisionFactory(TM) (eVF)(TM), to Ford Motor Company's Romeo, Michigan engine plant.

TrueView(TM) is ABB's brand name for a proven 3D vision-guided robotics system ideally suited to automotive and auto part precision manufacturing and assembly. TrueView(TM) combines the industry-leading robotics expertise of ABB with the revolutionary VGR technologies of Braintech.

The installed TrueView(TM) vision guidance systems are ramping towards full production, scheduled for the end of this year. Five of the six system installations process cylinder heads through machining, assembly and decking onto the engine block. The sixth installation locates intake manifolds for placement onto a fixture for further processing. In all cases, the systems are precisely locating parts in their dunnage utilizing Braintech's proprietary Single Camera 3D (SC3D)(TM) technology. The SC3D(TM) technology continues to proliferate because of its simplicity relative to historical solutions. The ability to extract 3D data from a single image eliminates the need for costly and difficult-to-integrate multi-camera or laser-based products.

Jim Dara, Braintech's Vice President of Sales and General Manager of North American Operations, stated, "Our common software platform, eVF(TM), also offers great benefits in the areas of training, user interface and common vision-robot communications. Other custom software solutions cannot offer this. Ford Romeo is part of an expansion of eVF(TM) and TrueView(TM) into seven Ford manufacturing facilities by the end of this year. We are obviously pleased that Ford continues to recognize the value of our vision science and appreciates the importance of a common platform approach."
