OPC UA: AI-based image processing

for factory automation

The integration of the industry protocol OPC UA is another milestone for the IDS NXT platform. IDS
NXT cameras can communicate with machines and controllers in the same standardised language to
exchange tasks and results instantly. The implementation of this key technology allows the integration

of these intelligent embedded vision systems into factory automation without the need for additional
hardware or programming. IDS NXT cameras can now trigger downstream processes and take over a
vital role in connected systems.
