Cognex launches the In-Sight 3800 vision system for fast , accurate AI-based inspections

Cognex Corporation ( NASDAQ : CGNX ), a leader in industrial machine vision , has released the In-Sight ® 3800 Vision System . Designed for high-speed production lines , In-Sight 3800 offers an extensive vision toolset , powerful imaging capabilities , and flexible software to deliver a fully integrated solution for a wide range of inspection applications .
The In-Sight 3800 offers twice the processing speeds of previous systems , performing tasks like a quality inspection in as little as one-third of a blink of the eye .
“ The In-Sight 3800 offers twice the processing speeds of previous systems , performing tasks like a quality inspection in as little as one-third of a blink of the eye ,” said Lavanya Manohar , Vice President of Vision Products . “ This added power allows users to maximize throughput and accommodate faster lines while delivering the high accuracy that they have come to expect from the In-Sight product line .”
This new system is embedded with a comprehensive set of vision tools that includes Artificial Intelligence
( AI ) -based edge learning technology and traditional rule-based algorithms . Easy-to-use edge learning tools solve tasks with high variability and are set up in minutes with just a handful of training images . The industry-proven rule-based tools are well-suited to solve deterministic tasks with specific parameters .
Customers have begun using the In-Sight 3800 , with impressive results .
“ When we selected Cognex , we were under the assumption that the processing time of the In-Sight 3800 would be 30 % faster than the current In-Sight 7900 vision system being used ,” said Nicolas Chomel , Technology Development Director at SIDEL , a leading provider of equipment , services and complete solutions for packaging consumer products . “ However , during qualification tests , the In-Sight 3800 proved to be 50 % faster in our application .”
In-Sight 3800 is powered by In-Sight Vision Suite software , a common platform across all In-Sight products , which offers both EasyBuilder ® and Spreadsheet development environments . The intuitive , point-and-click EasyBuilder interface guides users step-by-step through the development process , making it ideal for simple or common applications , while the robust spreadsheet interface enables finetuning of job parameters for advanced or highly customized applications .
“ Flexible development options allow users to easily modify their application for new or changing requirements ,” said Manohar . “ In doing so , In-Sight 3800 offers a scalable solution for addressing both current , and future , factory automation needs .”
