Specifying a vision system is rarely the hard part. The real time cost sits around it: choosing the right lens, matching the lighting to the surface, mounting everything so it survives the line, then spending time tuning processing items and threshold values until the OK/NG judgement holds up against real-world variation. OMRON says its new FHV7-AI Detection Camera removes all of that setup pain.

Rockwell Automation has announced its FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI solution with new VisionStream and VisionLink capabilities, helping manufacturers simplify vision inspection deployment, improve quality control and extend the value of existing vision investments.
