Basler, Siemens Integrate Vision into Factory Automation

Basler AG has entered into a partnership with factory automation solutions provider Siemens for the integration of its machine vision technology into Siemens’ automation systems. The integration, Basler said, will enable OEMs, system integrators, machine builders, and professional end users to integrate machine and computer vision as well as learning algorithms into existing automation systems to enhance productivity.

Glossary

machine vision: Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
siemens: The electric conductance of a conductor in which a current of 1 ampere is produced by an electric potential difference of 1 volt.
