to modify application logic. They can connect these blocks to easily exchange data between them. Cameras are configured for their inspection tasks using the In- Sight spreadsheet interface. This spreadsheet interface provides access to proven In-Sight vision tools, including PatMax Redline™, the most powerful part finding algorithm that can locate parts or features in less than 20 milliseconds in a 5-megapixel image, and OCRMax™, a font-trainable OCR and OCV tool that provides high character read rates while keeping misreads to a minimum. Users therefore gain straightforward access to all functions that they are familiar with from their experience with proven Cognex vision technology. Modern, powerful, web-based HMIs allow mobile and platform- independent viewing of the images and results from each connected

camera. The customizable HMIs provide monitoring and control through password-protected access levels. With the In-Sight VC200, operators can view inspections, QA officers (for example) can modify parameters, and plant managers can review performance statistics simultaneously from any iOS ® , Android ® or Windows ® -based device with a web browser. In addition, project components (block diagrams, tables, web pages, and even whole inspection sequences) can be stored for subsequent reuse in other projects. This considerably simplifies setup for new or modified multi-view inspections, and helps maintain high productivity. ©2017 Cognex Corporation.

In-Sight VC200 in brief High-performance processing: system as a whole gets faster with each additional smart camera. Multiple acquisition schemata: simple configuration for complex synchronous and asynchronous

multi-camera applications. Flexible workflow interface: easily link smart cameras and communicate results.

Powerful In-Sight tools: location of parts or features with PatMax Redline in less than 20 milliseconds. Browser-based HMI: mobile, platform-independent visualization and anywhere access via a web browser without extra software. Reuse project components: new projects implemented faster.
