- 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

Customers can leverage our multi-tier approach to customization to reduce engineering costs.
- Our adaptable Build-to-Order (BTO) system provides for very short lead times and allows a product to be configured from a large set of predetermined parameters, with hundreds of thousands of BTO combinations available. BTO products are indicated in the product data-sheet and are shipped within 1-3 weeks, depending on the product.
- Our Semi-Custom products require some additional design and documentation effort but can be a smart choice when more flexibility is required.
- Lastly, a full Custom product can be developed when your budget and time frame allows. This option supplies you with a fully custom-designed and built lighting solution that will be engineered to fit your exact machine vision needs.
