Vision

AI based OCR tool

Cognex has added optical character recognition (OCR) to the capabilities of its In-Sight 2800 vision system.

The Vidi EL Read tool, based on edge learning technology, deciphers plain text on reflective, low-contrast and uneven surfaces. According to the manufacturer, this eliminates the need for complicated programming; example-based training makes it easy to set up OCR models to read characters on difficult surfaces and even read multiple lines of text at once.

The OCR solution can be used in many industries; in the food and beverage industry, for example, to read the best-before date even on demanding surfaces and thus ensure the freshness of the goods and avoid product recalls.
