SmartVIS Device Management
CG Controls SmartVIS is a software system offering the user a centralised view from which they can control and manage industrial vision inspection devices and peripherals in an automated and compliant environment.
Cognex InSight Management Software
SmartVIS is a .NET client application with a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 database backend for data storage. It can be deployed on a PC or workstation running Windows 7 or Windows 10. SQL Server can be installed locally on the client PC or reside on a customer server. Our intuitive Data Entry Designer allows users to build data entry forms and bind fields to various peripherals such as vision sensors and printers. Sending batch data to a wide range of Insight, Dataman and Printers on your production line becomes a safe and secure 1-click process.
Centralised and Integrated Software
Centralised multi-camera recipe management software with OPC UA integration for Programmable Logic Controllers (support for Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs). Digital IO via Ethernet IO modules
