Fast image processing with UniVision software

November 2018 Sensors & Transducers

New to sensor specialist ASSTech is Wenglor’s latest software solution to simplify implementation of intelligent image processing applications for the range of weQube smart cameras. Sensors can easily be configured with the new intuitive software assistant, UniVision, which guides users from novice to expert step by step thus making complicated, time-consuming programming a thing of the past.

Previously, Wenglor image processing products like the weQube smart camera had their own software. These are now replaced with the universal uniVision assistant, which takes users through a detailed explanation of each treatment option. Additional templates i.e. predefined projects, are included in the software for standard applications. This includes templates for recognising 1D or 2D codes, presence and colour controls or pattern detection.

The software’s modular layout provides experts with maximum flexibility when solving complex applications. In this way, every user from beginners to professionals can quickly access the broad range of weQube features. The software is available in 11 different language versions. Downloading of uniVision software for Windows is free.
