Intelligent cameras for industrial environments, first introduced in 1995 at the VISION trade fair, are currently conquering a wide range of applications. Smart Cameras from Vision Components, which execute all image processing routines by themselves without the need for an additional PC, are a prime example. During the last weeks, the Ettlingen-based company concluded several major contracts.

Image acquisition interfaces, platforms as Linux or Windows or standards as FireWire or GigE: HALCON is highly flexible and can be combined with all important machine vision components within the market. Moreover, HALCON is already armed for future standards.
MVTec Software GmbH, Munich, Germany, expects its proven hardware independency to become an even more important market concept in the machine vision industry. It is the key for users to keep flexible when changing their hardware components. HALCON’s flexibility is unique within the machine vision industry:

MVTec showcases a unique solution for bin picking with machine vision standard software.
The future of robotics will be 3D machine vision. That is what MVTec Software GmbH, Munich, believes. Thus, MVTec showcases at the world’s leading fair for machine vision, the VISION 06 (2006, Nov 7-9) in Stuttgart, Germany, a robot that can see with two cameras what it is doing. MVTec’s standard software library HALCON makes this possible.
