Zebra - Aurora Design Assistant, Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Software

  • Solve machine vision applications efficiently by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code, using field-proven tools for analyzing, classifying, locating, measuring, reading and verifying
  • Use a single program for creating both application logic and operator interface
  • Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools
  • Rely on a common underlying vision library for the same results with an Iris GTX smart camera, vision systems or third-part computer
  • Work with multiple cameras all within the same project or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting
  • Interface to Zebra AltiZ and third party 3D sensors to visualize, process and analyze depth maps and point clouds
  • Communication options include discrete Zebra I/Os, RS-232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, and PROFINET, and native robot interfaces)
  • Maximize productivity with instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
  • Receive immediate pertinent assistance through an integrated contextual guide
  • Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
  • Test communication with PLC using the built-in PLC interface emulator
  • Protect against inappropriate changes with the Project Change Validator tool

Aurora Design Assistant Benefits 

  • Flowchart-Based Development - Build and configure applications using provided flowchart steps to fast-track development without the need for traditional coding. The IDE also lets users design a custom web-based operator interface. 
  • Flexible Deployment Options - Choose your platform with a hardware-independent environment that supports branded and third-party smart cameras, vision controllers, and PCs with CoaXPress, GigE Vision, or USB3 Vision cameras. 
  • Streamlined Communication - Communicate actions and results to other automation and enterprise equipment easily and in real-time with discrete I/Os and a range of supported communication protocols.
