Equipped with OPC UA, they make their AI capabilities available via a "recipe collection" in the network and communicate results directly from the field level to the machine and control level without a detour.

Machine vision systems are increasingly required to work intelligently. If Ethernet-based industrial protocols such as OPC UA are added to the mix, cameras can be integrated directly into factory automation without effort and additional hardware. In conjunction with the all-in-one IA system IDS NXT ocean, IDS NXT industrial cameras with their Vision App-based operating system meet the exact requirements of automation engineers. Equipped with OPC UA, they make their AI capabilities available via a "recipe collection" in the network and communicate results directly from the field level to the machine and control level without a detour.


Thanks to the app-based concept, the IDS NXT camera platform is as versatile as smartphones. Recurring tasks, such as reading codes, characters or license plates, as well as finding, measuring, counting or identifying objects, can be set up and changed quickly. It requires neither special knowledge in deep learning nor camera programming in order to create and execute individual neural networks. Camera hardware, software, infrastructure and support come from a single company. Users only need to provide sample images and knowledge on how to evaluate them (e.g. "good" / "bad"). This makes the start into AI-based image processing particularly quick, easy and user-friendly.

With simple usability and highly flexible and expandable deployment options, IDS NXT inference cameras are also able to deliver directly actionable process decisions to the OPC UA network. This saves time and costs in automation and ensures rapid integration into industrial plants. With the OPC Machine Vision Companion specification, the cross-manufacturer and cross-industry communication technology provides the ideal interface extension to easily "refine" factory automation with the AI based "recipes" of IDS NXT embedded systems. Since neither previous knowledge of image processing nor machine learning is required, IDS NXT inference cameras are a milestone for Industry
4.0.

Particularly small and cost-effective: Market launch of the uEye XLS cameras

Image processing opens up a wide range of possibilities for the automation of modern agriculture - but what to do when only a small budget is available? That is where the uEye XLS comes in. With the launch of these super-small industrial cameras, even price-sensitive applications and volume projects become feasible. Measuring just 29 x 29 x 7 mm, the compact cameras offer excellent imaging characteristics without excessive heat generation, making them a perfect fit for embedded vision applications in agricultural machinery and equipment. The industrial cameras comply with the vision standard and are available with Micro-B connectors and with or without C/CS or S-mount lens holders, further increasing their adaptability to different agricultural environments. Thanks to these features, the cameras offered by IDS Imaging Development Systems lower the barriers to entry and make it easier to explore the potential of vision technology to optimize agricultural processes.
