NXT Stop, Malibu: Fast and Easy AI Machine Vision NXT Stop, Malibu: Fast and Easy AI Machine Vision
Tue, Oct 10, 2023 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
As the understanding of what applications AI in machine vision can help solve broadens, manufacturers must adjust their offerings to provide solutions for these new potential sectors. IDS is aware of the increasing interconnectivity of not only manufacturing, but of other industries and commercial spaces. These fields tend to require less precise synchronization of interconnected systems, but devices still need to be able to communicate a result fast to keep the system operating. With the newest platform under the family of NXT devices, the Malibu, IDS Imaging has this keenly in mind. Live streams of real-time images and results will improve applications such as cashier-less stores, loss prevention, and real-time footfall analysis. The new platform will also fit in industrial applications such as analyzing equipment wear, monitoring chemical reactions, and AI-assisted visual inspection to ensure a high degree of safety and quality. This webinar demonstrates the new NXT Malibu’s capabilities and how it can help solve applications that need fast results from a secure edge-device. Presented by IDS Imaging Development Systems, Inc.
