1. Key points for purchase

1. Performance requirements

The required performance indicators can be determined according to the actual application requirements, including processing power, image acquisition speed, image resolution, storage capacity, etc. Different application scenarios have different requirements for machine vision, so it is necessary to select a suitable industrial computer model according to specific needs.

2. Stability and reliability

Machine vision industrial computers usually operate in industrial environments and have high requirements for stability and reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to select industrial computers with industrial-grade design and high anti-interference ability, which can still operate stably under harsh conditions such as temperature changes and vibration interference, and can ensure long-term high-load operation.

3. Visual interface and scalability

Machine vision industrial computers need to connect and interact with cameras, light sources, sensors and other devices. Therefore, the visual interface of the industrial computer must be compatible with a variety of visual devices and provide stable and reliable data transmission. In addition, the scalability of the industrial computer is also very important to meet the needs of subsequent functional upgrades and application expansion.

4. Software support and ease of use

When choosing a machine vision industrial computer, pay attention to the operating system and software platform it supports. It should provide a friendly and easy-to-use development environment and a rich visual algorithm library so that developers can quickly implement image processing and analysis. Good software support and technical services can also provide timely technical support and problem solving.
