Matrox to feature flowchart-based vision software at ATX South
At ATX South (Charlotte, NC, April 15-16), Matrox Imaging and Authorized Integrator and Master Distributor Seltrol will present the new release 4 of Matrox Design Assistant (DA), an integrated development environment (IDE) that lets users easily create an application flowchart and HMI, and take projects from concept to completion in record time without the need for conventional programming.
The flowchart-based DA 4 vision software works not only with Matrox Iris GT smart cameras, but also any PC with GigE Vision or USB3 Vision cameras. It gives vision integrators the flexibility to scale projects to different camera resolutions, processing speeds and cost targets, all within the same configuration software.
Visitors to booth 2101 will be treated to two demonstrations. A dynamic label detection application, running on an Iris GT, will highlight the ease-of-use of DA, which allows for operator setup and label changes. The demonstration will also incorporate machine vision lighting and interface to RFID products and Seltrol's manufacturing execution system (MES) and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) software.
A Matrox 4Sight GPm industrial imaging computer with GigE cameras will be used to demonstrate a barcode reading project created with DA 4. Matrox 4Sight GPm boasts a fanless design that reduces maintenance costs and downtime by eliminating the need to clean or replace an air filter, or replace a worn out fan. The system is equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet and four SuperSpeed USB ports for connecting to the full range of available GigE Vision and USB3 Vision cameras. Gigabit Ethernet ports support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to streamline cabling.
