Solves challenging OCR, assembly verification, and defect detection applications

The In-Sight D900 is a smart camera powered by In-Sight ViDi software designed specifically to run deep learning applications. This embedded solution helps factory automation customers easily solve challenging industrial OCR, assembly verification, and random defect detection applications anywhere on the line that have gone uninspected because they are often too difficult to program with traditional, rule-based machine vision tools.

In-Sight ViDi applications are deployed on the In-Sight D900 smart camera without the need for a PC, making deep learning technology accessible to non-programmers.

VisionPro ViDi is the best-in-class deep learning vision software designed specifically for manufacturing. It is a field-tested, optimized, and reliable software solution based on a state-of-the-art set of machine learning algorithms. Combining deep learning technology with VisionPro software, VisionPro ViDi solves complex applications that are too difficult, time-consuming, or expensive for traditional machine vision systems.

VisionPro ViDi combines a comprehensive machine vision tool library with advanced deep learning tools inside a common development and deployment framework. It simplifies the development of highly variable vision applications. The Addition of Color greatly increases the amount of data available which allows for the Deep learning of the Cognex VIDI to perform more sophisticated decision making.

Through a graphical programming environment, VisionPro ViDi allows engineers to build flexible, highly customized deep learning solutions tailored to their specific needs. By harnessing the power of a Windows-based PC with GPUs, the software can process hundreds of images per minute. Programmers can build end-to-end solutions to suit their individual requirements.

VisionPro ViDi provides traditional vision users access to example-based deep learning tools. These tools are optimized for AI inspections in a manufacturing environment and require smaller image sets for quicker training. The user-friendly GUI also provides a simple environment to manage and develop your applications. Choose between Blue-Locate, Red-Analyze, Green-Classify, and Blue-Read tools to solve applications that are too complex for traditional rule-based machine vision approaches.

The In-Sight® VC200 multi smart camera vision system brings the proven reliability of standalone In-Sight vision systems to multi camera vision applications. You can easily attach up to four In-Sight smart cameras to a controller for multi-view inspections in your manufacturing environment. For the first time, you can leverage the power of distributed computing with multiple smart cameras for high-performance applications.

While traditional multi-camera systems slow down with each additional camera, the processing power of the In-Sight VC200 vision system actually increases with each smart camera added. This incremental power is possible because each smart camera contains its own processor—this allows you to run In-Sight vision tools, such as PatMax Redline, independently on each camera with no reduction in speed of the overall application regardless of how many cameras are attached.

The In-Sight 7000 Gen II vision system represents a breakthrough in flexibility, performance and ease of integration.  This powerful vision system performs fast accurate inspections while its compact footprint easily fits into space-constrained production lines.  The unique, modular design is highly field-customizable to your application requirements.
