Adaptive Optics Associates (AOA), a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, specializes in designing, developing, manufacturing and installing custom vision systems for the shipping industry. The company’s range of experience in advanced imaging and signal processing includes a variety of automated data-collection applications.

Imaging System Expertise

  • Parcel Singulation Detection – AOA’s laser dimension-imaging technology, which makes continuous measurements of an object’s three-dimensional contour, position and orientation, without moving parts, in a compact, rugged package.
  • Bar Code Readers (BCR), Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Handwriting Recognition
  • Complex Scanning and Imaging Systems – tunnel-scanning systems integration using hardware from leading manufacturers, with best-in-class 1D and 2D BCR and OCR performance.
  • Extended Depth-of-Field Imaging
  • In-Truck Document Imaging – The company’s patent-pending document-imaging technology, which allows couriers to capture and transmit jpeg images of shipping manifests and bills of lading using a portable device that can be mounted inside the truck cab.
  • Single-Shot Volume Measurement – For ultra-high-speed dimensioning.
