Important components of industrial applications are machine vision systems, which are becoming more and more precise and work intelligently. Ethernet-based industrial protocols such as OPC UA also enable their direct integration into factory automation without any effort or additional hardware. In conjunction with the turnkey solution IDS NXT Experience Kit, IDS NXT industrial cameras with their Vision App-based operating system meet the exact requirements of automation engineers. Equipped with OPC UA they make their AI capabilities available in the network and communicate results directly from the field level to the machine and control level without a detour. It's so easy. This means that IDS NXT cameras are not just a building block, but a milestone for industry 4.0 systems.
