FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI aims to help enhance product quality, further optimize production yield, and provide manufacturers with actionable insights from live production data. This no-code solution helps to empower plant operators and quality teams to train AI models and deploy them across production lines, minimizing the need for specialized expertise in machine vision technology.
Key features of FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI
Advanced Anomaly Detection: Identifies and classifies defects that may have been previously undetectable, delivering actionable insights.
Remote Visibility, Configuration, and Management: Enables manufacturers to remotely configure and manage inspection systems while accessing quality data, providing insights into performance trends across production lines.
Out-of-the-Box Analytics: Includes built-in quality data analysis tools, such as pre-configured dashboards, automated reports, and notifications for quality events, supporting root cause analysis and ongoing operational improvements.
Seamless Automation Integration: Features premier integration with Rockwell Automation’s control systems for closed-loop quality control.
Scalable Hardware: Supports real-time production-speed inspections using standard components and integrates with Rockwell Automation’s hardware, such as ASEM IPC and Logix PLCs.
The technology is a result of collaboration between Elementary, a vision AI company and Rockwell Automation partner, and Rockwell Automation. FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI utilizes more secure, SOC 2 compliant cloud technology, helping to provide more robust cybersecurity and enterprise-level manageability. It integrates with Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Hub and other automation systems, providing a more scalable, efficient solution for improving quality and productivity.
