JAI announced an expansion of the Go-X Series of small machine vision cameras to include 24 new global shutter camera models featuring the latest Sony Pregius S CMOS sensors. 

The current software release 2.6 for the AI vision system IDS NXT focuses primarily on simplifying app creation. 

Unlike standard vision industrial cameras, AI or inference cameras belong to the device class of “embedded vision systems.” This presents manufacturers with completely new challenges.

Israel-based smart visual inspection company Kitov.ai has significantly simplified the setup of robotic vision inspection systems with CAD2SCAN, a CAD-based automated inspection planning tool.

LUCID Vision Labs, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of unique and innovative industrial vision cameras, announced the release of a new version of ArenaView with built-in JupyterLab support.

Teledyne announced its Sapera Vision Software Edition 2022-05 is now available. 

Machine vision enables new and exciting advancements in industries and fields of research across multiple disciplines. 

Deep learning is now more user-friendly and practical than ever and together with other vision technologies opens up new application areas, making the inclusion of vision inspection as part of Industry 4.0 even more beneficial.  

One constant in the ever-evolving machine vision space is the need for high-quality, consistent lighting. New challenges in the design and specification of machine vision systems require an innovative approach to lighting selection.

In this article, deep learning refers to developments during the last few years that have enabled applying the technique to entire images in the industrial machine vision space.
