What is the Open Camera Concept?
The Open Camera Concept allows you, as a solution provider, to integrate your own applications into NET’s smart vision systems. You can create and modify unique vision solutions yourself. These will, of course, always remain fully in your hands. NET provides the development environment. Benefit from our expertise in designing and implementing vision solutions.
How do you benefit from the Open Camera Concept?
The Open Camera Concept allows you to create your own vision solutions for your target groups. You can exploit the full potential of your application and achieve significant advantages in terms of efficiency as opposed to conventional PC-based vision architectures. NET’s smart vision systems offer real-time image processing and feature IP copy protection. This makes your application faster and safer. These benefits help improve your product and, consequently, your position on the market.
1: Individual consultation and advantages
As a producer of smart vision systems, we take our customers’ objectives and the possibilities available to them, and turn them into suitable vision solutions. NET offers you the solution that best suits your needs - regardless of whether you intend to implement the Open Camera Concept in existing, adapted or newly developed camera solutions.
