   Beyond RGB: How Hyperspectral Imaging Is Changing Industrial Inspection

   If your machine vision system can see the difference between two things, you probably don't need hyperspectral imaging. But if they look identical and you still need to know which one is which, that's exactly where it fits. In this episode of Better Faster Smarter, Jeff Fiorini (VP of Integrated Solutions, Adams Corp) sits down with George Killian from Headwall Photonics to break down what hyperspectral imaging actually is, how it differs from traditional machine vision, and where it's already solving problems that RGB and point spectroscopy simply can't. If you have any questions about anything you heard on the podcast or want to learn more about this technology, reach out to Jeff Fiorini. jfiorini@adamscorp.com (mailto:jfiorini@adamscorp.com)(813) 597-3960 (tel:+18135973960) #MachineVision #HyperspectralImaging #IndustrialAutomation #ManufacturingTechnology #QualityControl #AdamsCorp #BetterFasterSmarter
