The Machine Vision Business Unit of Datalogic Industrial Automation is built
upon the acquisition of PPT Vision Inc. in 2011. For over 30 years, PPT Vision
has focused exclusively on the development of machine vision technology for
in-line automated inspection and factory automation. Thanks to its extensive
experience of thousands of successful machine vision installations throughout
the world, PPT has become a recognized world leader in machine vision
innovation and has brought unique beenfits to customers:
• A single machine vision software platform
- Programming software that
is flexible, powerful, and common to all smart cameras and embedded
vision system products. This means no operator cross-training and no need
to maintain different software platforms– just select the hardware you want
and go! Transfer inspection programs from one camera to another and back
again without redeveloping the application.
• Flexibility and Security
– Control Panel Manager (CPM) - a control
panel software that is not only secure, but field-configurable and common
to all products. Protect your inspection and system configuration from
unauthorized users, but allow qualified personnel as much flexibility as
they need. CPM provides ultimate flexibility when compared to complicated
software programming languages and allows you to create control panels in
a mere fraction of the time. Connect and view data from one or many vision
systems with just a click of a button.
• Time-to-market
- Personalized, technically superior and committed
customer support. We can provide you with as much support as you need
when it comes to delivering application solutions. Choose one of our highly
skilled and qualified application engineers or training specialists, or select
a certified partner to guide you from application concept to installation and
qualification of your system.
• Large product portfolio
- Hardware platforms that allow our customers to
expand their range of applications. From the simplest vision sensors to the
highest performance embedded processors, we can deliver a vision system
optimized for your inspection needs. Choose a smart camera in an inline or
right angle version, color or greyscale sensor, CCD or CMOS sensor; it does
not matter because we have you covered. For embedded systems, select
from a single to multi-headed area scan or line scan cameras that range
from VGA to ultra-high resolution images.
Today, after completion of the integration process between Datalogic Industrial
Automation and PPT Vision Inc., the combined product lines of the two
companies encompasses both hardware and software while covering a
wide range of performance and price point requirements. Selling through a
global network of experienced distributor and integration partners, Datalogic
Automation is the complete solution provider for all your machine vision needs.
