The Good That Comes With Active Alignment

By Maritza Conrad


Year in year out the automotive and manufacturing industries have been undergoing changes from analog to digital. The digitization has seen the increase of safety levels by a big margin. The major driving factor that has taken people that far has been active alignment which is done using computers.

Nowadays automobiles come installed with actively aligned cameras that show the driver everything taking place near the vehicle. A monitor is placed on the dashboard to enable the driver see everything as it happens. Infrared night vision is also incorporated so that the cameras can be of use at night just as they are during the day.

It has been a way for many drivers to make wise decisions in difficult situations. The cameras issue warnings of pedestrians and vehicles that are very close to the vehicle. Drivers have been able to avoid accidents largely this way. Cars that are actively aligned are ones that have the least number of accidents.

Also incorporated in the system are sensors that take control of the vehicle if the driver becomes unable to. The car can be forced to brake automatically or if an accident occurs then the airbags automatically pop out. There is also an analog video recorder that saves everything that the cameras capture so that it can be referenced by crash scene investigators.

Manufacturing processes on the other hand are aligned using either single channel or planar photonic systems. They have enabled manufacture of optimal performance products just by making dynamic adjustments. The systems have increased the level of safety and therefore reduced risks that people making changes were exposed to.

Through this method, very small measurements and adjustments can easily be made to the system. It has also improved products performance by a great margin. active alignment is also cheaper than a passive one is especially in the long run.
