Apera Vue This robotic vision software from Apera AI is appropriate for a number of different applications, including packaging and kitting, sorting, bin picking and machine tending. It provides complete robotic guidance for industrial robotics using artificial intelligence (AI), without requiring outside expertise. The AI allows the robot to take the fastest, safest, most reliable path in its movements to handle parts, and avoid collisions. With Vue, robots also can pick up, place or assemble parts after an initial manufacturing operation, such as molding. Compatible with numerous major robot and cobot brands, Vue works with off-the-shelf cameras and can operate in all lighting conditions, including variable lighting, dark rooms and outside.
What’s new? Apera Vue 9.52, which provides for significantly faster AI training, greater control over robotic motion, deeper diagnostic insights into robot performance and faster simulation to deployment. Its new Programmable Autopilot feature allows users to customize robot movement paths to meet specific application safety and complexity requirements.
Benefits Fast and simple deployment and installation, and greater reliability and productivity, thanks to the enhanced robotic vision.
