The User Experience of your Vision Solution drives your Return on Investment

Over the past few years, we have seen a number of ‘smart cameras’ be introduced to the market. But those smart cameras have still to be set up correctly on your product line. 

This is where the user experience of your camera becomes critical to your ability to deploy efficiently. The user experience will define whether you can install and manage it with your own staff. It becomes a major driver of Return On Investment (ROI).

Also, good sensors do not necessarily mean a good User Experience. And when it comes to developing deep learning based inspection applications… User experience is paramount !

In 2022, Scortex unveiled Spark, its new product with one motto in mind : simplicity to drive performance. 

Really fast: a few second to create the inspection application 

Really simple: a non-clustered user interface, focused on the needs of non-expert users

Really applicable: from 40 acquired images you just have to click on one button to be ready for inspection.

And because showing is proving, let’s review the creation process…

♦ An appliance, the Spark Box which will do the link between Spark, your production line and our cloud platform, thanks to an included 4G connectivity

♦ Light : a dome from TPL Vision, adapted to a variety of use cases.

♦ Industrial Basler or HIK Robotics camera and objective 

♦ A 22’’ touch Screen, on which you can create and manage your inspection applications, and then see the quality decision. The user interface is specifically designed to ease the feedback and continuous improvement of the inspection application from the operators and quality expert knowledge.

1. Prepare your set of parts : we suggest to divide your parts in three categories:

Healthy parts used for the training (40 parts)

Defective parts to inspect

Healthy parts to inspect

2. Then prepare your vision setup to ensure the typical anomalies will be visible on the image

3. Acquire Images

Upon clicking on the “Application Creation” button, you will be prompted to take a minimum of 40 images to create the application.

Place the parts one by one on the conveyor (or on the off line inspection plate) and the camera will acquire the images.

4. Train

Once acquisitions are done, click on “Train” to train the application. The process is instantaneous !

Inspect some parts of which you know the OK/NOK status to evaluate if the performances are satisfactory.

As you saw, the creation process is as simple as it can be. With its speed, ease and simplicity of use, Spark will help you reach unmatched detection performances.

With Spark, give autonomy to your process experts, quality specialists, industrialisation engineers. 

Even with small batches of different references they will be able to quickly create new applications and easily deploy them on the production line.
