Robovision launches brand new Edge software to (retro)fit vision AI in demanding setups

Fewer limitations for on-premises solutions

GHENT, Belgium, Sept 10th, 2024 — Robovision, a pioneer in computer vision AI and deep learning since 2008, announces the coming launch of landmark Edge software, further expanding the Robovision AI Platform known for easy AI lifecycle management and successful AI roll-outs at scale (1000+ machines and counting). Crafted to fit Vision AI in either new or existing production environments, production lines across industries can now be future-proofed with a lower total cost of ownership. Customer savings are projected to range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars in hardware alone.

Serving as the production line's de facto "eyes and brain," the Robovision Edge solution is essential for manufacturers and modern OEM machine builders wanting to optimize operations. Equipped with an award-winning user interface, operators can transform data outliers into competitive advantage by capturing and sending them to the Robovision AI creation and governance platform.

At Robovision, we simplify automation by removing obstacles. That's why we prioritized becoming hardware agnostic; customers that were once obliged to use specific hardware to operate our platform on-premises can now integrate Robovision into their preferred system. The flexibility and cost control are the obvious wins, as are the optimized operations."

Thomas Van den Driessche, CEO, Robovision

EFFORTLESS EXCHANGE

Leveraging hardware with Robovision's comprehensive Edge software solution gives customers the freedom to choose their preferred hardware solutions (provided they meet basic performance specifications).This flexibility translates into compatibility with existing systems for a smooth integration which reduces downtime and expedites operational efficiency.

For effortless data and model exchange–including real-time updates–between the local inference device and central distribution systems, Robovision software supports application-specific algorithms, custom jobs and API integration to streamline communications and optimize the entire production line.

Built to handle challenging applications, such as plant robotics or multimodel pipelines in the semiconductor industry, the Robovision AI platform meets the robust demands of highly intricate manufacturing processes. By combining hardware flexibility with powerful software, we equip manufacturers and OEM machine builders with the needed tools to innovate and excel in a competitive market.”

Bart Baekelandt, VP of Product Management, Robovision.

SEAMLESS DATA AND INTEROPERABILITY

The Robovision Edge software solution integrates with existing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), allowing for data exchange and interoperability using industry standards like OPC-UA, GenIcam, GP(I)O and REST API. The versatility allows for deployment with specific machine configurations, resulting in tailored solutions for individual manufacturing needs.
