B&R launches AI-enabled Smart Camera for real-time vision in the control loop
without specialist expertise. Existing Smart Camera installations can be upgraded with a simple drop-in replacement. “Automation engineers can deploy AI vision in hours, not days,” said Schneeberger. “And [...] reacting to them instantly.” Another key advantage of the Smart Camera is its flexibility. “Customers can switch models and combine AI functions in custom sequences—without interrupting production,” Schneeberger [...] recognition (OCR), anomaly detection, object detection, classification, and semantic segmentation. These can be combined with traditional rule-based algorithms in a hybrid workflow, enabling users to balance
