pylon vTools: Functions for a variety of industrial applications. Explore the versatile capabilities of image processing with Basler's pylon vTools, offering practical tools for integrating and optimizing image processing workflows. Using traditional algorithms, pylon vTools can be flexibly combined to solve any machine vision challenge.
A data flow can be defined for each pylon vTool to output specific results, such as decoded barcodes or object positions. Image processing designs are built via drag-and-drop, tested live, and optimized in real time. Download pylon to start your image processing journey.
pylon vTools provide a range of functions that can be easily combined to address complex and unique machine vision tasks. By using drag-and-drop to add, rearrange the variable order, and connect the tools, you can achieve the desired output: the information extracted from the captured image.
The complete image processing pipeline, including image acquisition, runs directly in pylon. It can be tested and optimized on live images without deployment. By tuning pylon vTool parameters, you achieve optimal performance and accuracy, enabling faster time-to-market with fewer errors.
Built image processing designs can be saved as recipes (=building instructions). Within the Basler Vision Connector (=deployment tool) you can upload the saved recipe to start analysing your acquired images. Within the Siemens Flow Creator app you can see & integrate your image processing results.
Machine vision is widely used for quality and process control in the automotive industry. Basler’s image processing solutions combine compact, shock-resistant hardware with high-speed, high-quality imaging and reliable software.Example: Gap dimensioning of car body parts using the Measurement vTool.
From battery production to semiconductor manufacturing, the electronics industry demands precision and reliable inspection as structures grow denser and more complex.
Example: Wafer quality control using Geometric Pattern Matching to recognize reference patterns such as markings or structures.
Food inspection covers fill level measurement, packaging and print error detection, packaging measurement, and code recognition. Example: Fill level control using Calibration & Rectification to convert pixels to metrics and Measurement vTools to detect edges and deviations.
vTools detect broken or missing tablets, check shelf life, fill levels. In highly regulated manufacturing, camera-based inspection enables fast, 100% in-line control.
Example: Blister pack checks using Template or Geometric Pattern Matching and Blob or Color Blob Analysis to detect empty packs.
Vision-based automation in intralogistics enables efficient and cost-effective processes. The Code Reader vTool decodes industry codes and reads printed text, while packages can also be measured.
Example: Track-and-trace of cartons using Code Reader for codes and OCR vTool for label fonts.
