Cognex Designer Vision Software

     Cognex Designer enables you to build complete vision applications more quickly and allows developers to take full advantage of the powerful VisionPro tool library with ease. The graphical programming environment of module charts shortens the development cycle and simplifies application maintenance and support.

Cognex Designer allows you to develop, deploy, and maintain vision applications effortlessly without the need for scripting or programming. You can easily build powerful interfaces by dragging and dropping components onto the page.

Simplifying complex applications without sacrificing functionality.

Cognex Designer allows convenient drag-and-drop access to all VisionPro 2D and 3D vision tool libraries, which speeds up application configuration and shortens development time. Users can configure acquisition, selection, and optimization of vision tools using Designer, interact with industry-standard I/O interfaces, and make pass/fail decisions without the need for programming. Enjoy the built-in HMI user interface and hardware customization plugins, including robots, motion platforms, and machine control.

Building a complete vision application in four steps:

Cognex Designer makes application setup quick and easy:

1. Configure the Application - Set vision tool properties using intuitive editing controls. Add plugins for external hardware devices like 3D sensors, cameras, and I/O equipment.

2. Develop the HMI - Create a professional runtime operator interface to monitor and control your vision application.

3. Connect - Configure I/O and factory floor communication, control motion devices, and archive results.

4. Deploy - Install it on a vision controller or an industrial Windows PC.

Choose to use breakthrough deep learning image analysis:

Cognex Designer now comes equipped with VisionPro Deep Learning, the first deep learning software designed for industrial image analysis. This groundbreaking technology has been optimized for complex cosmetics inspection and challenging optical character recognition, surpassing even skilled human inspectors. With the Cognex ViDi plugin, Designer can use ViDi software.

Integrated, universal communication and image capture:

With Cognex Designer, users can use powerful vision software with any industrial camera or image capture card. Cognex acquisition technology supports all types of image capture: analog, digital, color, monochrome, area scan, line scan, high resolution, multi-channel, and multiplexing. Additionally, Cognex supports hundreds of industrial cameras and video formats, meeting various machine vision reading requirements. Achieve fast, integrated image capture using Cognex industrial cameras (CIC), GigE Vision, Camera Link, or image capture cards.
