What is a Machine Vision ArchitectSM?
As with a building architect, a Machine Vision ArchitectSM is the one professional person who is equipped by education, training and experience to guide you through the design and construction of your vision application.
A Machine Vision ArchitectSM will consider your functional needs, your budget, and restrictions of your site, while applying engineering, lighting, and optic principles, and the latest imaging technologies to design a solution for you.
An architect will bring you an independent and fresh look at your needs and suggest creative ways of meeting those needs. He or she will be able to save you time, money, and navigate around typical vision pitfalls
A building architect uses a “blueprint” to record the design plan and other technical aspects of what the finished product should be. In similar fashion, FSI Machine Vision ArchitectsSM use the VAS (Vision Application Specification) form to record all the technical aspects of the application and the desired outcome. This form is the blueprint that is used to build and engineer the final solution.
Successful projects result from clients and architects who form good professional relationships early in the design process, and are nourished by clear communication, mutually understood expectations, and a willingness of both client and architect to understand and accept their responsibilities for realizing a successful project.
A successful project is one that responds to your needs, built on time, within budget, and contributes to the quality of your products, services and/or company.
Let FSI be your Machine Vision ArchitectSM and work with you toward an Assured Path to Success TM.
Track & Trace for the Pharmaceutical Industry
EVT presents the new Track and Trace image processing system for the pharmaceutical industry. EyeTrace was developed to prevent forged pharmaceutical products from entering the supply chain and assures the traceability of the drugs.
EyeTrace, using an industrial camera and EyeVision image processing software, can detect more than the human eye. EyeTrace makes the inspection of security features on the packaging easier and can identify every single package.
Eye Vision can also read codes: bar code, QR, or DMC. With the code reader function, EyeTrace can read:
- Code of the drug maker
- serial number
- A national number for the reimbursement of costs
- Charge number
- Expiration date
Besides the code reader function, EyeTrace can be extended with other commands within the EyeVision software tool set.
EyeCheck Thermo in New Housing
The first intelligent thermal imaging camera – EyeCheck Thermo from EVT – is now available with protection class IP65 or IP67, making it optimally suited for industrial use.
Inside the compact housing is a user programmable FPGA. The integrated ZYNQ board is available for application programming. It is also possible to use different ZYNQ boards, corresponding to the needs of the application.
The EyeCheck Thermo has eight 24v inputs and eight 24v outputs. By using the additional thermal command set, complex applications for the thermal imaging area can be solved quite easily via drag-and-drop-programming.
