Wireless Sensor Networks
In the industrial sector, modern radio systems connect the field level with the control level in a cost-effective and efficient way. They can be used and extended flexibly and as a result are suited for a variety of applications. They are highly robust and reliable, making them fit for use in difficult environments. They also form a key part of Industry 4.0. In the wireless I/O version, sensor and actuator signals are exchanged bidirectionally between the participating communication levels. Wireless Serial allows RS485-based bus telegrams to be transmitted. In both cases, the devices are used in lieu of cables. Matching accessories such as antennas, cables, add-on modules, etc. complete the portfolio.

Vision
Image sensors and smart cameras combine high-performing image processing tools with intelligent features and intuitive user interfaces. Image sensors, like the iVu series, have a reduced resolution and a limited processing algorithm. These are exclusively parameterized directly with a touchscreen and they perform simple applications. On the other hand, smart cameras, like the VE series, are equipped with high-resolution optics and an almost complete image processing set and are intended for more complex inspection tasks. These are cost-effective systems that are easy to implement. From a simple feature verification to complex inspection tasks, image sensors and smart cameras offer a user-friendly solution. Product groups - Optical identification systems for image processing - Identity recognition, code recognition sensors - Sensors for object recognition, object comparison - Vision lighting systems
