IDS NXT (www.ids-nxt.com) enables users to create AI-based image processing applications, even with little previous knowledge. Vision apps help to flexibly control which task the embedded vision system should solve – from barcode reading to object detection. Equipped with industrial-grade housing and OPC UA, the intelligent cameras can be easily integrated into factory automation. Image processing takes place directly on the camera and can then be transmitted as a result to a machine control system.
