BOSTON – Sony Electronics announced that Cognex will certify its forthcoming VisionPro software release to operate on Sony’s current line up of smart cameras. Combining these software/hardware capabilities into an integrated package can provide integrators, machine builders and OEMs with an industry-standard platform suitable for a broad spectrum of machine vision applications from automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, food and beverage to a host of other industries.

VisionPro software can be purchased directly from Cognex, or users can download evaluation versions from www.cognex.com. Support for Sony Smart Cameras will be available in VisionPro software later this summer.
