(Imaging Development Systems Inc.: Stoneham, MA) -- Whether it’s sorting, inspecting, supplying, or documenting goods, many steps in the production process can be optimized with machine vision and artificial intelligence. However, many companies still lack the know-how and time to familiarize themselves with the field of AI and use the technology for their needs.

The AI Vision System IDS NXT is designed to help with this. It can be quickly and easily deployed by any user group, even without extensive knowledge of machine learning, image processing, or application programming. It consists of industrial cameras capable of performing AI-based image-processing tasks on the device and easy-to-use software.

Thanks to the recently introduced software update 3.1, IDS NXT cameras are able to detect anomalies—even if deviations were not previously known or hardly predictable. It is possible to use only “good” images for the training of the neural network that later runs directly on the camera. In addition, this requires only a small amount of training data compared to other AI methods.
