No programming - “Do it Yourself”

• Designed for production engineers that want to develop and maintain their own systems and be independent of expensive system integrators

• Easy to use non programming user interface• Easy to start-up

– Classroom training– Many exercises and examples available– Special Starter Kits incl. camera and training– 30 days free phone/e-mail support (some products)– Comprehensive web support and FAQ section


Flexibility and Power

• Complete range of robust vision tools• Out of the box RS-232, TCP/IP and OPC support

for communication with PLC and robot systems• Configurable data and image logging• Unique python scripting capability to solve special

needs• Handles many products/varaints in one system• Easy to upgrade for more functionality, more

cameras, more resolution or processing power


Cost effective solutions

• No programmingEasy to understand, no specialist required for implementing changes

• Step by step adaptation for system implementation in the production line and for adding new variants and products

• Offline verificationDevelop and test a new application using images and your own computer

• Remote support from a Scorpion support centre


Step by step implementation

• Easy to use – point and click:– Connect the camera(s)– Configure the toolbox – image processing– Define the logical states/tests– Configure the user communication– Configure the communication to production

line


Offline verification

• Take images and transfer the files to your own computer running Scorpion Maintenance Software

• Without disturbing the production system– Configure and test your application– Add and test new functionality, modifications or new

products.

• Export the configuration to the operational system computer and changes are implemented immediately


Remote support
