Microscan has launched their newest innovations in machine vision software and hardware. Microscan's award-winning AutoVISION machine vision software combines a simplified user interface with a powerful toolset for inspection, error proofing, and identification applications. The new technology will also be presented at the Components for Processing and Packaging show alongside Interpack in Düsseldorf, 8-10 May 2014.

The new AutoVISION 3.0 release will provide additional capabilities such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with advanced IntelliText algorithms for hard-to-read text; DotCode symbol support; barcode quality verification reports available in PDF or plain-text format; and four password-protected security levels to control access to software functionality. The new web-based CloudLink HMI generates a visual display of AutoVISION machine vision inspection data on any browser-enabled device, including smart phones and tablets. CloudLink's fully-customizable Dashboard Interface enables a real time view of linked inspection images and results, while the Application Programming Interface (API) allows CloudLink technology to be added to custom software.
