LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elementary today announced Vision Link, a software solution that enables manufacturers to add AI-powered inspection capabilities to their existing vision inspection systems. Rather than replacing current cameras and infrastructure, Vision Link integrates seamlessly with them, bridging the gap between legacy systems and advanced AI technology.
Vision Link connects to any camera system that supports FTP output, including line scan, microscope, X-ray, hyperspectral, thermal, and area scan models from Cognex, Keyence, and others. It supports up to 8 cameras simultaneously and delivers real-time inference with sub-250ms processing.
"Manufacturers shouldn't have to rip and replace to get world-class inspection capabilities," said Arye Barnehama, CEO of Elementary. "Vision Link allows facilities to preserve their existing investments, while adding AI that outperforms full system replacements."
Key capabilities include:
Anomaly detection and defect classification
OCR and barcode validation
Presence/absence verification
Product classification
PLC integration for automated rejection
Comprehensive traceability and inspection history
Remote camera monitoring
Real-time incident alerts
Plant-wide quality analytics
A recent implementation at International Paper, a leading pulp and paper manufacturer, demonstrates Vision Link's transformative potential. Their existing line scan system was reliable but limited, requiring extensive manual intervention to validate and classify defects.
Vision Link eliminated over 375,000 manual classifications annually, significantly reducing false positives. The implementation was completed in one week with zero disruption to production. It integrated seamlessly with existing cameras and infrastructure, minimizing costs.
The solution's cloud-based traceability allowed the team to track defects in real-time and quickly identify root causes. They shifted from a reactive quality control approach to proactively addressing issues before they impacted production.
Vision Link is available immediately. It is ideal for manufacturers seeking AI benefits without infrastructure changes, quality teams reducing manual inspections, and plants struggling with high false-positive rates and low accuracy.
