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
benefits 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 vision
processors, 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.
