Inspect, decide and communicate at the machine
Combine image acquisition, onboard processing and industrial communication in one compact device. A Hikrobot smart camera turns every trigger into a usable PLC result without a separate vision PC.

One device, complete decision loop
From trigger to PLC result
A stable inspection starts before the algorithm. Image, processing rule and machine response must work as one chain.
- 01
Capture
Trigger, lens and lighting freeze the relevant product detail.
- 02
Process
Vision tools locate, measure, match or read the feature.
- 03
Decide
Configured limits convert measurements into pass/fail or values.
- 04
Communicate
The result reaches the PLC through I/O or a supported interface.
Typical inspection tasks
Presence and assembly
Check components, completeness and orientation.
Position and guidance
Find coordinates and rotation for downstream control.
Dimensions and quality
Measure features and detect repeatable defects.
OCR and identification
Read text or combine identification with inspection.

Choose capacity for the actual inspection
Select on field of view, smallest feature, cycle time, tool set, I/O and environment. More processing power only helps when the application needs it.

Let us help you chooseArchitecture choice
When is a smart camera the right fit?
Use a smart camera when one station has a clear, repeatable task and should return a local result directly to the machine. Choose PC-based vision when several cameras, process steps or data flows must be coordinated centrally.
Choose a smart camera
- One camera or one bounded station
- Local pass/fail, position or measurement
- Compact installation with direct PLC link
- Standard vision tools cover the task
Choose PC-based vision
- Several cameras share logic and timing
- Central storage, dashboards or traceability
- 3D processing or heavier algorithms
- Custom software and system integration
Identification only?
If the task is limited to barcodes or Data Matrix codes, a dedicated code reader is usually the more direct choice.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about smart cameras
The right model follows from the image and process requirements, not from resolution alone.
From sample to validated setup
Which model fits best?
Send representative samples or sharp images and your process constraints. Sedeco checks feasibility and selects the camera, optics, lighting and connection as one system.
- Field of view and smallest feature
- Working distance and installation space
