Entrust us with your vision challenges: production-ready solutions.

The benefit for your integrator lies in the durability of the integration. The vision system communicates with the PLC via standard industrial protocols (PROFINET, OPC UA, ETHERNET/IP) and sends pick coordinates to the robot controller when needed, without imposing a proprietary architecture. Above all, the vision modules (even highly specific ones) are encapsulated in a standard way in the software: the processing complexity stays on Psycle's side and does not end up in the PLC. Updates can therefore be deployed without involving the integrator or reworking the robot program, a decisive point for long-term maintenance.

The model you choose directly affects the budget. A turnkey system, including hardware and integration, is a larger investment than integrating the software alone into an existing installation. Supplying your own hardware or bringing in your integrator can therefore adjust the cost. Psycle prices both scenarios so you can decide based on your budget and resources.

The effort required from your teams remains limited and focuses on what only you can bring: your product expertise, to define what a defect is. Development, configuration and integration are handled by Psycle. Image annotation can be carried out by your operators, who know your products best, or delegated if you prefer a turnkey project, without the quality of the result depending on it.

The duration of a vision project depends mainly on the complexity of the need: the number of stations to equip, the difficulty of the defects or the task, and the level of integration with the rest of the line. A targeted inspection on a single station is deployed much faster than a multi-station installation integrated into a complex process. Psycle sets a realistic schedule at the end of the assessment, once the scope has been clarified.

Either way, the core of the solution is the software. Running on an industrial PC, it acts as the conductor: it controls the cameras, applies the inspection rules and triggers the decisions. This architecture allows Psycle to supply either a complete system or the software module alone, with no change in the reliability of the result. The surrounding hardware may vary, but the vision logic stays the same.

You don't have to commit blindly to a vision project. The process starts by qualifying the need and removing the technical uncertainties, before defining a scope and a budget. Psycle structures this upstream phase precisely so that you make an informed decision, once feasibility has been established, not before.
