For decades, manufacturers have faced an impossible choice: stick with reliable legacy machine vision systems, or rip and replace for advanced inspection capabilities.
Today, that changes.
Rather than replacing your current cameras and infrastructure, VisionLink integrates seamlessly with them, bridging the gap between legacy systems and next-generation AI capabilities.
Universal Compatibility, Powerful Capabilities
VisionLink works with any camera system that supports FTP output, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial imaging technologies from Cognex, Keyence, and others:
- Line scan systems
- Microscope imaging
- X-ray inspection
- Hyperspectral imaging
- Thermal cameras
- Area scan systems
It includes a complete suite of inspection tools powered by advanced AI:
- OCR Reading: Accurately read and verify text, lot codes, date stamps, and other alphanumeric information across various fonts and surfaces
- Barcode Reading: Reliably scan and validate 1D and 2D barcodes, including damaged or partially obscured codes
- Anomaly Detection: Identify unexpected defects and variations without pre-programming specific parameters
- Presence/Absence Verification: Ensure all components are properly assembled and positioned
- Classification: Automatically categorize products and features with high accuracy
- Color Analysis: Verify color consistency and detect subtle variations in hue, saturation, and brightness
The system can handle up to 8 cameras simultaneously, with correlation capabilities that ensure accurate metrics across your production line. With processing speeds under 250 milliseconds, VisionLink delivers real-time defect detection and classification without compromising production speeds.
Transform Your Quality Control
Manufacturing quality control often faces a difficult choice: rely on time-consuming manual inspection or invest in expensive new vision systems. VisionLink offers a better path forward by adding AI capabilities to your existing cameras. You can automate complex inspection tasks while dramatically improving accuracy.
Key Features
- Anomaly detection and defect classification
- OCR and barcode validation
- Presence/absence verification
- Product classification
- Instant production alerts and remote monitoring
- Root cause analysis and quality analytics
- Full integration with PLC, SCADA, MES, and BI systems
Seamless Implementation
One of VisionLink's key advantages is its rapid deployment capability. Facilities can upgrade their existing vision systems to AI-powered inspection in as little as one week. The system requires no new cameras, lighting, or hardware infrastructure, making it a cost-effective path to modernization.
Ideal Applications
VisionLink is particularly valuable for:
- Facilities that want AI benefits without replacing vision systems from brands like Keyence and Cognex
- Quality teams aiming to reduce manual inspection workload
- Plants facing high false-positive rates and low accuracy
- Facilities seeking to implement proactive quality control
- Organizations looking to standardize inspections across multiple sites
