With the developments in the Industry 4.0 sector, we have further advanced the intelligent networking of our machines and systems. All vision-tec products have the possibility of networking from the outset. This includes both communication with other machines and connection to higher-level systems for automated production. Remote maintenance via the Internet has long been a service we take for granted, and one that we have mastered with confidence. Networking / Connectivity: A good network infrastructure is a basic requirement for modern manufacturing. Our Windows-based control systems can be easily connected to the company network. Artificial Intelligence: Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in mechanical engineering. vision-tec has been using artificial intelligence for years to solve complex problems in the field of image recognition. By using this cutting-edge technology, we are able to adapt quickly to new requirements. Data exchange: For data exchange, we support common standards as well as customised interfaces. Simple remote maintenance: Direct access to the machine network is essential for efficient service. This minimises cost-intensive downtimes and enables individual adjustments to be made at short notice. Worldwide. Real-time capable control systems: Real-time is real time. Use of common, safe and powerful field bus systems. User management / Identification: Security, identification of operators, enabling of different operating levels, data acquisition, protection against unauthorised access.
