MVTec, BMG and Bosch Rexroth Integrate Machine Vision with ctrlX OS

MVTec Software joined hands with Bosch Manufacturing Solutions (BGS) and Bosch Rexroth to facilitate the machine vision technology implementation in an organization. A recent press by the company stated that MVTec’s HALCON technology will be collaborating with BGS’s Nexeed Integrated Vision applications and Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX OS system. This collaboration aims to reduce the time needed to develop and engineer machine vision systems.

Key Highlights

• Reduces programming and system integration requirements.
• Supports quality inspection, component identification, measurement and robot guidance.
• MVTec and BMG join the ctrlX World partner ecosystem.

What Has Been Announced

BMG’s Nexeed Integrated Vision app allows for seamless technical collaboration between MVTec’s HALCON software and Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX OS. This allows users to conduct HALCON-based machine vision processes directly in the ctrlX OS, along with other automation processes. The integration creates a unified structure utilizing integrated resources, thus shortening the time needed for system integrators to connect different vision and control platforms. 

Why It Matters

Machine vision has become an integral part of automated manufacturing. The collaboration addresses a major integration challenge for manufacturers by bringing vision and control functions closer together. For India’s automotive, electronics and industrial manufacturing sectors, this approach could simplify the deployment of automated inspection, improve production consistency and support flexible manufacturing systems.
