B&R is adding Deep Learning capabilities to its smart camera portfolio thanks to a collaboration with MVTec and AI processor specialist Hailo. The first product to emerge from the project is Deep OCR and achieves particularly fast read rates, even for fonts that are otherwise difficult to recognize. Despite a performance of 26 TOPS, Hailo’s inference accelerators consume particularly little power, enabling the Deep Learning camera to be used as an edge device.
Long Range Sensor for large Measuring Distances
The optoNCDT 1760-1000 long-range laser sensor by Micro-Epsilon also measures at distances of up to 2m with up to 7.5kHz.
