Cognex In-Sight D900 is the world’s first industrial smart camera powered by deep learning artificial intelligence. It embeds Cognex’s ViDi deep learning software into an industrial-grade camera, allowing it to solve highly complex in-line inspections that are traditionally too difficult, unpredictable, or expensive to program using standard, rules-based machine vision.

Key details and capabilities of the system include:
Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Deciphers severely deformed, skewed, or poorly etched characters and barcodes.
Assembly Verification: Checks that complex products are assembled correctly, even when components vary slightly in placement or appearance.
Defect Detection: Identifies unpredictable, random flaws or anomalies on the surface of parts.

How It Works:
Deep Learning AI: The camera’s neural network is trained using a small number of sample images, essentially teaching the system to recognise acceptable versus defective parts like a human inspector would.
Stand-Alone Processing: The AI model is trained on a GPU-enabled PC, then exported to the camera as a runtime file. This allows the D900 to perform heavy AI processing as a stand-alone, embedded system directly on the factory line, without requiring a connected PC to run.
No Coding Required: It uses the intuitive In-Sight spreadsheet platform, meaning it can be deployed by factory technicians without needing prior programming or deep learning expertise.? Industries Served

The In-Sight D900 is ruggedly built (IP67-rated) for harsh factory environments. It is widely used in automotive, consumer electronics, packaging, food and beverage, and medical devices

Read challenging characters and text in minutes - Cognex In-Sight D900 AI vision system deciphers badly deformed, skewed, and poorly etched codes using optical character recognition. Equipped with a pre-trained font library, the read tool works right out of the box, drastically  reducing development time. Simply define the region of interest and set the character size. In situations where new characters are introduced, the tool can be easily retrained to read application-specific characters.

Perform fast and accurate assembly verification - In-Sight D900 reliably detects complex features and objects and verifies parts and kits are assembled correctly based on their location within a user-defined layout. The check tool can be trained to recognise an  extensive number, and variety, of components, which can be located in the image even if they appear at different angles or vary in size. 

Detect and analyse subtle defects - The detect tool embedded within the Cognex In-Sight D900 AI vision system is ideal for finding anomalies on complex parts and surfaces, even in situations where defects can be unpredictable in their appearance.

Precisely classify any defect - The classify tool leverages AI to automatically identify and sort objects into classes. Within the same class of objects, it distinguishes between visually similar, but different defects to determine if they represent a true
defect or an acceptable variation

Quickly setup and deploy applications - With an intuitive interface and a full communications function set, In-Sight spreadsheet simplifies application development and streamlines factory integration. It also allows you to combine rules-based and AI tools in the same job, delivering faster deployments.

Address your current and future - needs with hardware modularity Highly flexible in design, the In-Sight D900 vision system includes field-changeable lighting, lenses, filters, and covers that can be customized to match your exact application requirements. It also includes an embedded inference engine that solves complex tasks at production line speeds.
