Proven Machine Vision Software for Automated Quality Assurance

VisionCommander® scores with high performance for efficient inspection processes and with an intuitive user interface

Custom vision systems require custom software. Especially when it comes to performance, data tracing and flexibility in inspection tasks, standard software products are not sufficient. That is why we have developed VisionCommander®.

Software for Industrial Image Processing

High performance for automated inline production

Our PC-based image processing software is used daily by numerous customers in industry. In automatic inline inspection, it ensures the highest standards of reliability, performance and intuitive usability.

Highlights

1. 2D, 3D and Deep Learning under One Roof

   VisionCommander® offers 2D as well as 3D measurement and inspection tasks, and includes powerful Deep Learning features.

2. Up to 8 Parallel Inspections

   The software can perform up to eight inspections in parallel in separate windows, offering a major cost advantage over smart cameras, especially for large installations.

3. Manufacturer-Independent

   VisionCommander® supports 2D and 3D cameras and scanners from different manufacturers. So you always get the best system configuration without compromise

Application Possibilities

• 2D Metrology
• Surface Inspection
• Deep Learning
• 3D Metrology
• Label Inspection
• 3D Inspection

Features

User Interface

In VisionCommander®, up to eight inspection stations are possible using a maximum of 8 cameras simultaneously. The individual stations are clearly displayed in separate windows including all relevant result values, image strips and image overlays. Result data can optionally be visualized numerically and graphically with target values. This gives you a quick overview of the status of the inspections currently in progress.

Deep Learning Features

VisionCommander® supports two well-known Deep Learning tools:

• senswork Neuralyze
• Cognex Vidi

VisionCommander® combines classical image processing with Deep Learning functions such as classification, semantic segmentation and object search. Our Deep Learning tools work not only with 2D but also with 3D data, making them unique in the world of machine vision!

senswork 3D Metrology Framework for Fast Processing of 3D Point Clouds

3D features include:

• CAD Comparison / Best-Fit
• False color comparison
• 3D geometry matching
• 3D measuring tools
• Import and export of different 3D formats
• Multi-sensor calibration
• ... and much more.

Scanning with Multiple Sensors
VisionCommander® 3D calibration enables the merging of multiple 3D scanners into one point cloud coordinate system.

Statistics Module

• Batch reset
• Timing statistics
• Result statistics
• Trend analyses
• CSV export

Digital Reference Part Check

Digital reference part check verifies inspection tasks against a defined set of sample images and enables PDF reports on the results. This ensures that the current inspection tasks, including the set parameters, are working correctly.

Comprehensive 2D Tools Based on Cognex VPro

• Pattern Search PatMax(R)
• Blobs
• Edge and circle tools
• OCR/OCV
• Calibration
• Filter functions
• Scripting
• ... and many more

Flexible User Administration

VisionCommander® offers flexible user administration, role assignment and definition of permissions. A user can be defined with free assignment of rights. This protects against unauthorized changes to inspection-relevant parameters during ongoing production.

Relational Database for Storing Data from Results

• Long-term storage of result values per product
• Data filtering
• CSV export
• Extensive statistical functions based on the entries in the database
• Database synchronization for connection to tracability systems
• ...and much more

Flexible Product Management

VisionCommander® saves parameters and result data product-related. This gives you the best possible overview in production.

Options:

• Parameterization of different product types by parameter lists.
• Definition of product characteristics and associated measurement and test values.
• Storage of all measurement and test values in a generic database.
• Extensive statistical evaluations per product.

VisionCommander® Audit Trail

VC Audit Trail tracks all parameter changes during operation, and stores them in a database along with the ID of the logged-in user, timestamp, and the change made.

VisionCommander® Data Analyzer for Rework Stations

Offline software for visualizing inspection results on rework stations. 

Visualize the inspection results of a component, for example, using a serial number or DataMatrix code to obtain the component's defect information for post-processing.

Connectivity

VisionCommander® works with many common interfaces, including:

• GigE Vision
• USB
• GenICam
• Camera Link
• CoaXPress
• Profinet
• workvision 4.0
• Beckhoff TwinCAT
