Sick sensor utilizes AI for high-speed inspection

July 30, 2024
The Inspector83x is easy to set up and accommodates changes to product designs.

Inspector83x This vision sensor from Sick offers artificial intelligence (AI) machine vision capabilities suitable for common high-speed inline inspection tasks. It has a powerful quad-core CPU that allows it to process AI inspections directly on the device. The all-in-one sensor has powerful built-in illumination and can provide up to 5 megapixels of resolution for reliable results in consumer goods, food and beverage, automotive and packaging applications.     

What’s new? The Inspector83x, which can perform the inspections significantly faster than its predecessors. 

Benefits Out-of-the-box AI capabilities. The system can typically perform machine vision tasks such as defect and anomaly detections at a rate of up to 15 per second. The pre-installed Sick Nova foundation software is intuitive, letting even beginners set up inspections by showing as few as five examples to the camera. Accommodating changes to product designs or packaging is simplified, as users just need to show examples of the new product and the camera will learn by itself. More complex changes can be accomplished with the Sick dStudio cloud service.
