Automating production with machine vision.
The goal for Aurora Vision Studio™ — simplify Machine Vision.
Machine vision refers to technology that enables imaging-based automatic inspection, process control, and automation in industrial and manufacturing applications. Configuring this technology is complex and the prevailing software is hard to learn and operate, Aurora Vision Studio™ was designed to make it simple.
Aimed at machine and computer vision engineers, Aurora Vision Studio™ software enables users to quickly create, integrate and monitor powerful machine vision applications without the need to write a single line of code.
By providing advanced visual analysis and inspection tools, Zebra's Fixed Industrial Scanner and Machine Vision cameras can be programmed to power a wide range of industrial automation use cases. These include checking for defects in engine casings or rerouting packages in the warehouse based on their barcodes.
“We crafted an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to empower machine vision engineers to rapidly build, iterate, and deploy impactful industrial vision apps themselves without barriers or friction,” said James Green, Athlon Studio visual design director.
The drag-and-drop workflow canvas at the core of the product provides a visual programming model for accessing the full suite of inspection capabilities. Users simply assemble and configure the necessary image processing, analysis, and logic by dragging blocks onto an easy-to-read workflow diagram. Connecting inputs and outputs is simple. No complex coding or data science expertise needed!
This modular encapsulation ensures flexibility in constructing solutions from end to end. Users are free to swap modules, add functionality, integrate with peripherals, and adapt flows to address evolving needs across diverse operational use cases. Additional controls give power users deeper access to fine-tune tools when leveraging more advanced techniques.
With a powerful automation builder, innovative diagnostics and modern UI/UX, Aurora Vision Studio™ software helps to streamline production across the whole supply chain.
Stopping and restarting intricate production machinery introduces significant quality control risks and can lead to unrecoverable losses for manufacturers.
The tools
Aurora Vision Studio™ is equipped with powerful inspection tools that provide real-time feedback to keep production running.
Scanning tracking codes provides visibility across supply chain stages and allows automated sorting at warehouses.
Checking that a mechanical part, or other component is properly aligned within strict tolerances on a product.
Reading expiration dates and other key text information from drug labels during production to ensure proper traceability.
Modern configuration
The drag-and-drop flow builder enables operators to assemble conditional inspection workflows, making it easy to roll out new configurations into complex operational environments.
Aurora Vision Studio™ provides Machine Vision experts to design and customize a Human Machine Interface for operators on the production line to input data, flag issues, and request support in real-time.
Camera multiplier
Dynamic inspection presets allow for multiple inspections at the same time like having a full rig of cameras, with only one to set up.
See the difference
Aurora Vision Studio™ has powerful diagnostic tools that compare images taken over time allowing engineers to quickly spot defects like a dirty lens or lighting problem.
Athlon delivered an intuitive experience that has set a new bar for Machine Vision solutions. Customers were blown away by the pre-sales demos and we're seeing very positive engagement.
