Overview
Sherlock is a Windows-based machine vision software environment specifically intended to simplify development and deployment of high performance alignment, gauging, inspection, assembly verification, and machine guidance tasks. With absolutely no language programming required, system Integrators and end-users of the machine vision industry find that the rapid prototyping environment of Sherlock greatly reduces development time and helps speed time-to-market.

Examples of what you can do using Sherlock software:

• Graphically organize your entire machine vision strategy
• Interactively experiment with all functions of the MVTools library
• Confirm run-time executive performance
• Fine-tune variables and parameters
• Create custom vision algorithms
• Plot statistical data (SPC)
• Set or Read discrete I/O signals

The Sherlock software environment also provides Monitor, Surveillance, and SPC Reporter utilities for gaining insight into vision task program flow, internal/external events, internal variables, or other parameters as you run your machine vision application.

Sherlock capabilities are ideal for manufacturing applications in the automotive, consumer goods, textile, electronics, packaging, pharmaceutical, and plastics industries.

Key features

• 32-bit version
• Configure applications from a point-and-click environment - No Programming Required
• Utilizes a single video monitor for setup, image display, and run-time user interface
• Set up to 5 different Image Preprocessing Algorithms for each AOI
• AOIs can be setup with their own Image Analysis Algorithms
• Peaks, Formulas, Sub-routines, and I/O events are all created graphically
• Tolerant of all calculation permits pass/fail and SPC results handling
• Support for custom algorithms
• Highly customized reports can be sent to one or more destination
• Internal Statistical Process Control (SPC) package
• Easy tie-in to third-party hardware and software for networking, SPC, custom front-ends, and more
