Project Implementation
How we work on projects
Machine vision systems are complex and often require customized solutions. These range from the selection of individual components to a turnkey system. Our teams help you make good decisions and guide the project through the entire development process. Typical project steps are
Pre-development phase
Product and software engineering or adaptation including prototyping, verification and testing
Volume production
Lifecycle management and support
Pre-development phase:
Creating a reliable project basis
The pre-development phase ends with a concept that defines all technological aspects from hardware to application software. Solid commercial figures for implementation, including a timeline and a proposal for production and lifecycle management, complete our scope of services. This provides you with a comprehensive project recommendation and assessment.
Concept development
Breakdown of requirements into technical characteristics
Definition of core elements in terms of suitable imaging and processing components, e.g. optics, sensor, processing system
Development of a specific hardware and software concept
Creation of a proof of concept or functional model
Economic feasibility analysis
Estimation of development costs
Calculation of production costs
Investigate time-to-market
Product and software development
In this step, we implement the previously defined concept and develop the system.
Hardware development
Integration of optics and illumination: development of project-specific lens solutions, project-specific illumination design
Sensor integration
Integration of interfaces for communication with the target system
Fulfillment of specific housing requirements, e.g. IP67 suitability
Development of a suitable processing platform, e.g. based on NVIDIA® Jetson™, or development of a vision system consisting of frame grabbers with our FPGA programming software VisualApplets and a boost camera
Software development
Custom development of system software and firmware
System specific application software, e.g. barcode reading
Container management for easy deployment of application software
