Machine vision tools and barcode reading systems produce mounds of insight-rich data across manufacturing and logistics facilities. The expansion of Industry 4.0 through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on improving operations by collecting and analyzing data in an efficient way like at “the edge” of the production line as opposed to sending data to the cloud and back.
The Cognex Edge Intelligence (EI) platform transforms big data into smart data and provides real-time system performance monitoring and device management to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and throughput.
