IDS NXT ocean interference industrial camera

Industrial automation is both driven by embedded vision and AI-based image processing solutions. The greatest added value comes from the combination of embedded vision, image processing routines and deep learning. Systems that can also provide integrated computing power and are characterised by a compact, cost-efficient design become the most logical solution for many applications. They can help, for example, to automate the recognition of spare parts in customer service.

In case of a complaint, companies score points with their customers through quick and exact trouble shooting. Image processing with artificial intelligence can support the service team in spare parts management and problem solving, because product catalogues can be easily taught in neural networks with image data and construction models (CAD). This lightens the workload of the staff and speeds up the process. In quality control, AI-based cameras can reliably spot even the smallest defects after being trained on “good” and “bad” sample images. To ensure that only flawless products leave the production line, they identify defects which are difficult to detect for the human eye. The application possibilities based on such cameras are almost limitless. To make best use of this technology, companies require AI vision systems that are equally flexible, easy to handle and powerful.

This is where IDS NXT ocean comes into play. IDS NXT ocean is a particularly user-friendly end-to-end solution which allows 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 simple barcode reading to complex AI-based object detection. Thanks to their compact industrial-grade housing and interfaces such as REST and OPC UA, the intelligent IDS NXT 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.
