Poke Yoke

Poke-yoke means "mistake-proofing." Avoiding inadvertent errors is a behavior-shaping constraint, or a method of preventing errors by putting limits on how an operation can be performed in order to force the correct completion of the operation. The concept was originated by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System. Originally described as Baka-yoke, but as this means "idiot-proofing" the name was changed to the milder Poke-yoke.

Baumer OHDK14 Background Suppression LasersBaumer OHDK14 Background Suppression Lasers

Diffuse sensors with background or foreground suppression which work with triangulation do not only sense the light reflected from the target, but also sense the distance of the object to the sensor. Within the fully adjustable distance, objects which are at least as big as the diameter of the light beam are recognized independently of color and surface properties.
