Microscan - a global technology provider of barcode, machine vision and lighting solutions - offers its award-winning AutoVISION machine vision suite. "AutoVISION, engineered for new users of automation technology, empowers those at any experience level to implement inspection operations quickly and easily," said a company spokesperson. The suite is designed to be a single system that automates barcode reading, quality verification, measurement, defect detection and guidance operations.
"AutoVISION enhances automated inspection technology with a simplified system that empowers manufacturers to implement machine vision without any advanced knowledge of the technology," said the spokesperson. "We developed this system to shorten the learning curve often associated with machine vision products, which until recently required the expertise of a machine vision or software engineer to implement."
The AutoVISION family includes the AutoVISION software interface and Vision MINI and Vision HAWK smart cameras with plug-and-play capability. A guided three-step job set-up in the software enables users to create inspection jobs by linking a camera, acquiring an image and dragging tools onto an image to see real-time inspection results. AutoVISION is equipped with a Web-based visualization tool, CloudLink, for monitoring inspections from mobile devices.
In its latest release, AutoVISION 3.0 adds the following features:
- IntelliText Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to allow machines to interpret hard-to-read text such as date and lot codes printed on labels and packaging
- New barcode quality verification tools designed to ensure the long-term readability of codes throughout the supply chain and compliance to ISO and AIM barcode quality standards
- Four password-protected security levels to control access to software functionality
- The CloudLink Web-based HMI, also a new feature in AutoVISION 3.0, allows users to visualize inspection results from any device with a browser, including smartphones and tablets.
To see inspections occurring on the production floor in real time, users can navigate to a camera's unique URL to access the CloudLink interface and display live data feeds in customizable tables, graphs and images.
"The AutoVISION product family is a flexible machine vision solution that allows users to build a complete inspection system around a single hardware device," said the spokesperson. "Featuring scalable architecture, AutoVISION can evolve to meet changing application needs, protecting a user's time, effort and investment. All smart cameras can run on the same vision software platform with job portability from camera to camera, or to Microscan's advanced Visionscape software without the need to change cameras."
