wenglor uniVision 3 – Parameterization Meets Programming

wenglor uniVision 3 is software for setting up wenglor machine vision products for solving tasks in the field of machine image processing. The data evaluation can be flexibly designed with a graphical user interface via the modular software structure so that a wide variety of tasks such as code reading, completeness checks or position detection can be carried out individually. In addition to simple parameterization, programming is also possible by integrating HALCON scripts from MVTec’s HDevelop software.

Everything in a Single Software

The entire world of wenglor uniVision 3 software revolves around the intelligent processing of graphic data in the field of industrial image processing. In combination with smart hardware, the configurable and optionally programmable uniVision 3 software solves all digital tasks in industrial image processing – quickly, easily and flexibly.

The Advantages of wenglor uniVision 3 Image Processing Software

Intuitive Parameterization Software for Solving Complex Image Processing Applications

wenglor uniVision 3 is a comprehensive and intuitively designed parameter configuration software which enables automatic data evaluation for image processing tasks. It is operated via a graphic interface and configuration instead of conventional programming – the perfect low-code software for beginners and image processing professionals!
  • Numerous modules that can be parameterized easily
  • Templates for simple standard tasks – the most important modules are saved and linked in the template job to reduce complexity and initial start-up time      
  • Fast and flexible application solution without programming knowledge for simple standard tasks – parameterization knowledge and basic image processing knowledge are sufficient
  • Easy operation via drag & drop and adjusting parameters

Image and Profile Evaluation in One Software

uniVision 3 handles both image and profile evaluation tasks effortlessly. Whether a smart camera or a machine vision controller is used in combination with machine vision cameras or 2D/3D profile sensors, the intuitive user interface and comprehensive toolbox can be used to solve applications from image processing and profile analysis in one software.
  • Image and profile evaluation combined in one software
  • Versatile modules for image and profile evaluation
  • Uniform operability for machine vision cameras and 2D/3D profile sensors

Comprehensive Toolbox for Individual Job Design

The wenglor uniVision 3 Machine vision software toolbox contains numerous software modules which can be used to extract information from the recorded data or for further processing of results.
  • Modules can be used flexibly thanks to individual arrangement and linking of data in the job
  • Modules can also be used multiple times for more complex applications
  • The same modules can be used on different platforms
  • uniVision Assistant supports the setup of the most important modules 
  • Modules 1D code, 2D code and image-based pattern matching use the robust and high-performance algorithms of the current HALCON 22.11 image processing library

uniVision 3 Is AI Ready

uniVision 3 uses rule-based image processing algorithms as well as deep learning technologies for optical character recognition (OCR). The Deep OCR module uses pre-trained neural networks to safely find and read letters and numbers. Compared to traditional OCR, for example, printed labels can be recognized and output regardless of the font and language. 
  • Significantly higher detection rate than with rule-based use
  • Ready for use quickly, as hardly any parameters are required
  • Intelligent automatic grouping of individual characters into words

Common Industrial Interfaces for Easy Integration

Thanks to the common standard interfaces such as TCP/IP and industrial Ethernet interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT, the uniVision 3 machine vision software can be quickly and easily integrated into any infrastructure. Integrated interfaces for robot vision and robot-guided welding enable quick and easy communication with robots from different manufacturers.

BOSCH Nexeed Automation

Products with uniVision 3 can be integrated seamlessly into BOSCH Nexeed Automation. As an official partner of BOSCH Nexeed Automation, we ensure that suitable device drivers are available for wenglor devices so that they can be installed in the application with minimal effort. This allows products with uniVision 3 to be used with maximum efficiency within Nexeed Automation.

Flexibly Adjustable Web-Based Visualization

wenglor uniVision 3 machine vision software offers a web-based and platform-independent results display (web-based operator interface) for machine operators without the need for software knowledge. This means that the relevant information for every application and uniVision job can be flexibly and individually visualized – all results at a glance.
  • Results are displayed directly in the image, e.g. as an overlay
  • Results can be displayed on any device with a browser, regardless of platform
  • Individually adjustable visualization according to the requirements of the machine operators
  • Ready-made visualizations available for each template

Simple Initial Start-Up and Readjustment via uniVision Simulator

A large amount of good and bad data is required to fine-tune a uniVision job during initial start-up or for readjustment during operation. These images can be easily captured and annotated using the Teach+ function. The uniVision Simulator enables location-independent and time-independent setup and optimization of the uniVision job.
  • Various good and bad images recorded with the uniVision product in a Teach+ file
  • Test and simulation of the Teach+ file in the uniVision Simulator – without network connection (offline) or interruption of the system
  • Easy expansion of good and bad data, e.g. with other Teach+ files 
  • Optimized job loaded onto the uniVision product – quickly and easily
