What are the skills required to program and operate a machine vision system in a logistics application?
[Karl] Machine Vision products from SICK are designed in such a way that no vision or in-depth understanding is needed to operate them. Our IVC Studio Software for the IVC-2D and 3D provides quick and easy access to more than 100 powerful image-processing tools. Once configured, the camera can work in stand-alone mode, with no PC required. CVS Vision Sensors offer an integrated color display and keypad that makes it easy to perform the teach-in procedure. After initial setup, they can be trained remotely via a PLC. The Ranger and Ruler Cameras use configuration and evaluation tools and require .Net, C++, VB development skills. [Gerhard] Translating operational processes into automatic processes is very important. This includes both operational issues about product flow, sortation, packing, picking and loading bays to business rules such as shipping rates and alternatives for cost reduction in shipping optimization. This is VITRONIC’s part. Running a machine vision solution at site does
