SUMMARY

Industrial 2D vision has evolved beyond image acquisition. Modern systems must acquire, inspect, decide, communicate, save, and display—while growing use of AI adds new requirements for GPU acceleration, memory, model storage, and data handling.

PC-based vision delivers processing power and flexibility, but requires external computing, software, networking, and integration. Smart cameras moved processing to the edge, reducing this infrastructure—but traditionally introduced tradeoffs in compute, AI, memory, customization, and software capability.

Gocator® 2D brings these requirements together at the edge—combining industrial imaging, NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin NX compute, GPU-accelerated AI, rules-based inspection, bring-your-own AI model flexibility, extensibility, industrial connectivity, and onboard GoPxL® in one integrated smart vision platform.

 

WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE

01

Changing Inspection Requirements

Why industrial vision is expanding beyond image acquisition toward complete inspection workflows—and how AI is changing the compute requirements behind them.

02

PC Vision vs. Smart Edge Vision

Compare the hardware and software architecture behind PC-based machine vision and integrated smart cameras, including processing, software, networking, and system integration.

03

The Advantages—and Limits—of Traditional Smart Cameras

Understand the benefits of compact, off-the-shelf edge vision and the traditional tradeoffs around processing, memory, AI, customization, and software capability.

04

The Next Evolution of the Smart 2D Camera

See how modern edge compute, AI and rules-based vision, extensibility, industrial communications, visualization, and a unified software environment advance the smart 2D camera architecture.
