With IDS NXT we have created a compact embedded vision platform for industrial applications. The philosophy behind this marks a paradigm shift: Our goal is no longer to simply develop individual components, but to offer easy-to-use yet flexible complete systems that can be used to implement all steps of a vision solution, from image acquisition, image analysis and processing to the control of industrial production machines.
By performing image processing tasks directly at the image source, IDS NXT cameras can autonomously generate results independent of a PC to directly trigger subsequent processes - this simplifies and accelerates workflows, ensures a lower network load and reduces energy consumption. With a REST (Representational State Transfer) web service and the OPC UA industrial protocol, they offer standardized, platform-independent interfaces that allow easy networking with other device classes without additional software or gateways. As autonomously operating vision sensors, IDS NXT cameras can therefore be ideally used in IoT (Internet of Things) as well as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) to support factory automation.
The IDS NXT platform is constantly evolving. Through software updates, we continuously supplement the capabilities of the system and the turnkey complete solution IDS NXT ocean.
"We expand the software, you expand your possibilities"
IDS NXT Open system for individual AI tasksYou would like to implement your own image processing sequences or combine classification or object recognition with classical image processing tasks? No problem. Developers, image processors and AI specialists can use the IDS NXT Vision App Creator to delve even deeper into the IDS NXT system and develop their own vision apps. This allows you to design the cameras individually according to your own requirements. For a quick start to your first own Vision App, we provide a fully coordinated development environment including development libraries and sample apps. |
