Your part.
Its vision
system
Optics, lighting, artificial intelligence and software engineered together around your process conditions.
Imago ecosystem
Imago offers an ecosystem of tools for production. Alongside the inspection software, a web interface lets you view statistics remotely, while a training environment lets you train machine learning models independently.
Designed for use on the production line
The inspected image, the result and the reason for a reject stay up front; everything else is one touch away.
- Result and part image always in view
- Routine controls on touch screens and PCs
Inspection data, charts and reports
Inspection data becomes on-screen charts and trends, or PDF reports to share with quality teams and customers.
- Inspection data traceability with on-screen charts and trends
- PDF reports ready to share
Talks to your PLC. And to the plant
Results, commands and formats flow between the platform and the line, all the way to plant systems.
- PLC exchange via digital I/O or industrial Ethernet
- REST APIs for MES and ERP; OPC UA for automation
Role-based access and permissions
Everyone signs in with their own profile and sees only what their role allows.
- Individual accounts with permissions by task and role
- Access designed into the plant network architecture
Format changeover in a few steps
Each product has its own format and parameters: create, edit and recall it at every production changeover.
- Guided creation and editing of formats and parameters
- Quick recall at every changeover
