From Vision-Guided Robotics to Smart Cameras, Turnkey Systems Offer Versatility Oct 17, 2018 — Integrators and operations managers must consider numerous choices when implementing turnkey vision systems in industrial environments. Depending on the application, systems are generally developed in four broad categories: single or multiple smart cameras; cameras interfaced to PC-based systems; robot guidance systems that use a robot controller to perform the tasks generally relegated to a PC; and custom libraries-based solutions. While these classifications are broad, there is often
