(MVTec Software GmbH: Munich, Germany) -- MVTec Software GmbH is working closely with NVIDIA, a global leader in visual computing technologies, on developing a powerful new machine vision solution that dramatically improves the process of product inspection.

HALCON 10, machine vision software with expanded 3-D capabilities from MVTec, is used to inspect production lines and ensure consistent product quality. Through its use of NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs), key machine-vision functions in HALCON 10 are accelerated by up to 30 times. This enables machine-vision system providers to build factory automation machines that dramatically increase throughput without compromising inspection quality.

“Product inspection machines are integral to factory automation today,” says Wolfgang Eckstein, Ph.D., MVTec’s managing director. “By increasing the inspection speed using NVIDIA GPUs, HALCON 10 enables our customers to increase factory throughput and also leads to higher quality assurance.”
