The next generation AI-powered BOA3 smart camera for industrial automation and inspection is designed to leverage the best features from previous BOA generations and combine them with new sensor and AI (artificial intelligence) inspection technologies. BOA3 offers sensor resolutions from 1.2 to 12MP, integrated or C-mount lens options, onboard I/O and includes machine vision software. BOA3 comes with iNspect, a no-code inspection development software with tools for positioning, part locating, pattern matching, measuring, barcode reading, feature or defect detection, including automatic reading of characters based on a pre-trained AI inference network.
