Quick, easy, and cost-effective automation for complex in-line inspections can now be automated quickly.

November 2020 – Cognex Corporation, the leader in industrial machine vision, recently introduced the In-Sight® D900 Color. Featuring Cognex’s deep learning software inside an In-Sight industrial-grade smart camera, the D900C solves a broad range of complex in-line inspection applications where colour imaging is an essential component. “Color is an important distinguishing feature for many assembly verification and defect detection applications,” said Carl Gerst, Senior Vice President of Vision and ID Products at Cognex. “The In-Sight D900C furthers Cognex’s mission to expand the range and breadth of inline inspections that can now be automated quickly, easily, and more cost-effectively.”

Combining the self-learning ability of a human inspector with the robustness and consistency of a vision system, the In-Sight D900C expands the limits of what can be inspected in factory automation. The system, which can be setup using a small number of image samples, leverages Cognex’s familiar and easy-to-use spreadsheet platform and does not require a PC or deep learning expertise to deploy.

The In-Sight D900C is ideal for automating colour dependent inspection applications across a range of industries including automotive, consumer electronics, consumer products, packaging, food and beverage, medical devices, and logistics.

Cognex Corporation designs, develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of image-based products, all of which use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques that give them the human-like ability to make decisions on what they see. Cognex products include machine vision systems, machine vision sensors and barcode readers that are used in factories and distribution centres around the world where they eliminate production and shipping errors.
