Roadmap 2015/16
Road to success
What direction will the machine vision industry be taking moving into 2016? Here, we preview some of the product developments companies are working on, or trends they are seeing, for next year
Adaptive Vision believes the future of machine vision soſtware is in the data-flow based graphical environments. Although low- level programming continues to be necessary in some special areas, for the vast majority of applications the rapid pace of development and ease of maintenance are decisive factors in choosing the right product. Te trend has recently been strengthened as
new data-flow based soſtware products have also been released by other leading machine vision suppliers. Most of these products follow the model of using a linear sequence of steps, where programming resembles the way production lines are built – a pipeline of filters process the data, starting with raw images and finishing with the inspection result. Tis programming model has already been widely accepted. However, there remains an important challenge to find the right balance between ease-of-use and high functionality. Te roadmap of Adaptive Vision Studio now focuses on making the soſtware accessible not only for experienced machine vision engineers,

BitFlow launched frame grabbers for three different interfaces in 2015. Tese boards were the Neon-DIF (differential), Cyton CXP2 (CoaXPress), and Axion-CL (Camera Link) family. Te company has also increased its expertise in the remote direct memory access (RDMA) market, adding DirectGMA to support the AMD RDMA market. Te growth in popularity and confidence
in CoaXPress had led to newer markets for machine vision, once thought unobtainable. Tere are markets where the speed of
but also for those without expertise in machine vision and who need more interactive guidance to implement projects in a certain timeframe.

CoaXPress and length of cabling were previously unavailable as a Camera Link option. Tese markets include life sciences, which is quickly emerging as the next greatest machine vision application market. Other markets such as intelligent transport systems (ITS) are also emerging and this will cover traditional markets such as postal inspection, now an industry that’s not as vibrant as it once was. BitFlow is constantly looking at new markets for frame grabber applications.

machine vision systems, as well as for smart cameras from Cognex. Traceability and compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 for audit trails will be available for both types of systems and sensors, making it especially useful in pharmaceutical, medical and automotive industries. Te implementation of additional 2D and 3D cameras and technologies will continue
