Who it is for
Machine builders, manufacturers and integrators with stable SKUs and clear pass/fail.
Application · Smart camera
Smart-camera applications for standardised jobs.
Sensor, processing and often optics in one housing, for OCR, codes, presence, positioning and simple QC when the task is stable and fast deployment matters.
1 · Problem
You want a reliable vision task without a heavy cabinet
Standard inspection or ID jobs need to commission quickly, with operators who can manage recipes in a GUI.
Conditions
Known codes/poses, limited defect variation, one image per task.
Limits
Multi-camera orchestration, heavy AI or hard real-time robot loops often need PC-based.
2–4 · Approach & technology
Application first: on-board tools when they hold
We select smart camera, lens and lighting on samples and takt. Classical tools first; light on-board AI only when it helps measurably.
Technology
Smart camera / smart reader, LED lighting, brackets, Vision Master or equivalent.
Integration
Digital I/O or fieldbus to PLC; result as pass/fail or string.
Suitable for
Code reading, OCR, presence, simple assembly, positioning.
Integration · Feasibility · Delivery
Feasibility and how Sedeco delivers
Suitability depends on contrast, motion and how tight the loop to the machine must be. We say honestly when you should step up to PC-based.
Feasibility
Samples under line conditions, decode rate or defect visibility before commitment.
Delivery
Components & advice, integration into your cell, or a full-service station.
Next step
Share the job, takt and photos, or start with the Smart vs PC decision frame.
Does a smart camera fit your job?
Describe the task and send a photo, we will say whether smart is enough, or PC-based is more realistic.
