Who it is for
OEMs and integrators who ship vision as a machine module or complex cell.
Application · PC-based vision
PC-based vision when complexity outgrows a smart camera.
Industrial PC, high-speed or high-res cameras, specialised optics and software, for multi-camera, heavy AI, 3D, robot loops and unique high-performance machine functions.
1 · Problem
One image and on-board tools are not enough
Variation, takt, multiple views or closed-loop robot control need more compute, calibration and software ownership.
Conditions
Multi-camera, line-scan, 3D, AI, shared calibration, hard PLC/robot sync.
Limits
Stable single-view ID/QC can often stay faster and cheaper on smart.
2–5 · Approach to integration
Architecture before catalogue shopping
We start from takt, FOVs, interfaces and acceptance criteria. Then we choose cameras, lighting, PC and software, and couple results to PLC, MES or robot controller.
Technology
Area/line/3D cameras, LEDs, industrial PC, Vision Master or custom SDK.
Integration
Deterministic I/O, fieldbus, robot controller; recipes and logging agreed.
Suitable for
Robot guidance, subtle defects, high-speed sorting, multi-view QC.
Integration · Feasibility · Delivery
Feasibility and delivery model
PoC on real samples and line conditions prevents over- or under-building. Delivery from components to a full-service module.
Feasibility
Optical path + algorithm + interface under real takt, before series.
Delivery
VAR for your software team, integration into the cell, or full-service handover.
Next step
Share architecture constraints, or compare first with Smart vs PC.
Do you have a PC-class job?
Share takt, camera count and interface, we check whether PC-based is needed or smart still holds.
