Seamless engineering for adaptive vison
The B&R vision system includes a wide selection of powerful image processing functions that run directly on-camera. They are easy to set up, simulate, and manage right in B&R's universal engineering environment along with all your other automation components. Designed for intuitive development without specialist expertise in vision or AI, and often without writing a single line of code.
Save costs and gain efficiency by combining multiple rule-based and AI functions on a single Smart Camera. Adapt to changing requements without stopping production by adjusting parameters and switching AI models at runtime.
Rule-based vision functions
Rule-based vision functions provide fast and precise results based on explicitly defined criteria. mapp Vision offers an array of ready-to-use functions for robust, high-performance position detection, completeness inspection, quality evaluation, measuring and identification.
AI vision functions
AI functions learn from sample images without needing explicit instructions. They deliver excellent results under challenging conditions and handle unpredictable variations in lighting, materials, and defects. Discover deep learning functions including optical character recognition (OCR), anomaly detection, classification, and segmentation.
Plug and run: From the office to the machine
With the B&R vision system, there's no more need for additional settings on the machine. It's plug and run. Usually, after a project is finalized in an engineering tool, developers have to adjust all settings directly on the machine in a second step. B&R calibrates vision systems, including all lighting elements, prior to delivery. This allows developers to test and verify their application at any time and from any location, without having to be physically present at the real machine.
- Faster development time
- Reduced development risk
- Easy maintenance and remote management
- Easy proof of concept for faster time-to-market
Simulation of image processing in Automation Studio
Getting a vision system up and running doesn't have to involve a lot of complex programming. With Automation Studio, engineers can easily program, parameterize and even simulate image processing right in the engineering environment without having to first compile the entire project. Additionally, the ability to export test results to Excel helps to optimize the process and generate quality related data such as standard deviation.
- Familiar environment for engineers
- Programming and parametrization as an integral part of automation project
- Easy POC (proof of concept) for shorter time-to-market
- Machines operate more reliably
