Like IDS NXT vegas, the two new IDS NXT camera families are defined by their highly versatile application spectrum. Users can create individual image processing tasks and install and execute them as vision apps on the devices. Application-relevant pre-processed data or results are easily relocated to a PC or machine control unit. The widely programmable platform is not connected to any predefined tasks. The possibility of installing any vision apps creates universal application possibilities in numerous fields, e.g. in optical quality assurance, as an analytical device in medical technology, for tracking tasks using face recognition or vehicle and person counting.
 
The prototypes unveiled at the VISION showed how IDS NXT rio & rome can also be used as a regular industrial camera in the future thanks to the 'Smart GenICam App' designed by IDS. In this way, two device classes will become one.
 
IDS NXT industrial cameras correspond directly with a PLC or other machine controls. IDS NXT rome also goes with IP65/67 protection, making it dust-proof and protected against water jets (nozzles) from any angle. The models will not only be available with sensors from different manufacturers and resolution classes, but also as board level variants for mechanical engineering.
