Omron has announced a significant software update for its FH Vision System and FHV7 Smart Camera. This update introduces an optional Digimarc license to Omron’s customers in the consumer goods industry, enhancing the machine vision series’ capabilities and enabling modernizing digital product identification with digital watermarks.
The integration of digital watermarks allows for unmatched decoding efficiency, particularly on cylindrical or non-uniform products where rotation varies. This technology ensures nearly perfect read rates of 99.9 per cent across all types of packaging, including flexible materials and film.
The entire decoding process, from trigger signal to output, is completed in approximately 30 ms. This rapid processing capability is ideal for integration into some of the fastest production lines in the world.
Flexible camera integration allows multiple cameras to be connected to the FH Vision System with asynchronous triggering. This flexibility makes it possible to install the system across various production lines or stages.
