Mettler-Toledo CI-Vision, the leader in vision inspection systems, has established the CI-Vision Vision Institute (CVI) to help its customers optimize the benefits they receive from investing in CI-Vision machine vision systems. Trainers certified by the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) provide both classroom and hands-on training in the basic technology, effective application and proper maintenance of CI-Vision machine vision inspection systems.
Courses are designed for students with varying levels of experience and skill, ranging from production line operators/users to specialists/tuners and experts/trainers. CVI also works closely with customers to design customized specialized training to meet their specific needs.
Training is conducted at the Mettler-Toledo CI-Vision facility in Aurora, Ill., and each course generally last three days. Class size is usually six to eight participants, which allows for maximum contact with the instructor and plenty of hands-on experience. Larger companies that may have multiple inspection setups or a large operator staff can arrange for on-site training at its own facility.
The CI-Vision Institute is directed by Troy Farkas, who has more than 18 years of experience in the packaging industry with an extensive background in molding, machinery and plastics. He is a PMMI-certified trainer as well as engineer.
