Uncomplicate Your Vision System with KEYENCE AI-Driven Features
Machine vision systems are increasingly being adopted in manufacturing, but they often come with a steep learning curve. This means they can take significant time to get up and running effectively, with all users fully trained. Even once set up, these systems require ongoing, time-consuming adjustments and specialized machine vision programming to maintain accuracy.
KEYENCE has developed a line of AI machine vision systems that solve these challenges. These systems combine AI-driven features, advanced vision technology like the VS Series, and an intuitive design to deliver fast, reliable inspections without the need for specialized technicians.
The Complexity of Traditional Vision System Setup
Traditional vision systems have long been held back by technical barriers. Choosing the right camera, lenses, and software often feels like navigating a maze. These systems demand expert-level knowledge for selection, installation, and operation.
Complexity leads to higher costs, starting with the need for expert consultations, extended training for employees, and increased expenses down the line if adjustments are needed to keep pace with production.
KEYENCE Vision Systems: Designed for Simplicity and Performance
KEYENCE revolutionizes AI machine vision system design by combining simplicity with advanced capabilities. The entire lineup includes all-in-one smart cameras, modular high-speed controllers, and advanced options for 2D, line scan, and 3D applications.
The VS Series stands out as a true breakthrough: a vision system with built-in AI that’s ready to use at any experience level. It delivers fast, accurate inspections across diverse applications while removing the traditional roadblocks that typically slow down deployment.
AI-Driven Features That Simplify Setup for Any User
One-Click Optimal Image Creation with ZoomTrax and AI-Image Reproduction
The VS Series is the world’s first smart camera to integrate ZoomTrax, which brings in an optical zoom function. This allows the user to create the optimal image in any conditions, with just one click of a button. When paired with AI image reproduction, it can copy image settings and standards across all images to simplify setup and ensure consistency.
Advanced AI Technologies for Enhanced Operational Efficiency
Whether running machine vision AI-powered inspections or leveraging rule-based vision tools, the VS Series adapts to the application. This combination provides speed, flexibility, and accuracy, giving manufacturers both simplicity and high-performance results.
Streamlined Inspection Programming
The intuitive machine vision software makes inspection setup straightforward even for first-time users. Preconfigured AI templates and an easy-to-use interface cut down machine vision programming time, enabling teams to move from concept to production much faster.
