Vision Sensor Concept

Concept

The vision sensor is the key device on the shop floor that detects data necessary for e-F@ctory in real time. Mitsubishi Electric vision sensors which support CC-Link IE Field Network Basic and SLMP*1 are highly compatible with Mitsubishi Electric factory automation products. Measuring results are seamlessly coordinated with the edge computing level, realizing smooth analysis for reducing TCO*2.
