Case Study: VITRONIC achieves reliable multiprotocol connectivity for automated weld seam inspection with Hilscher

Vitronic Dr.-Ing. Stein Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH achieves 100% reliable real-time weld seam inspection with Hilscher

Vitronic Dr.-Ing. Stein Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH, a developer of machine vision systems, faced the challenge of integrating its automated weld seam inspection system into various customer machines while maintaining high-performance, 100% reliable real-time data transmission independent of the customer's preferred industrial network protocol.

Hilscher provided a solution using its cifX M.2 PC-Cards, which offer multiprotocol connectivity in a compact form factor. This gave Vitronic the flexibility to connect to almost any bus system, minimized the overall cycle time for inspection and data transfer, and allowed their engineers to focus on their core competencies. The synergy between Hilscher's communication technology and Vitronic's vision systems enables production lines with zero recalls.
