Teledyne Unveils AI-Powered Smart Camera For Industrial Automation, Inspection

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision technology, has announced its next generation artificial intelligence (AI)-powered BOA3 smart camera for industrial automation and inspection.

“The new BOA3 is an exciting next step in our smart camera development. Its modular and flexible architecture will allow us to offer new and powerful solutions for embedded machine vision inspections,” said Teledyne DALSA Product Line Manager, Vision Systems, Szymon Chawarski.

The new BOA3 smart camera is designed to leverage the best features from previous BOA generations and combine them with new sensor and AI inspection technologies developed by Teledyne.

In a statement, Teledyne DALSA said BOA3 is a highly integrated vision system in a compact, rugged smart camera format designed to meet the needs of the most complex, demanding machine vision applications.

It offers sensor resolutions from 1.2 to 12 megapixels (MP), integrated or C-mount lens options, onboard input/output (I/O), and includes easy-to-use machine vision software, all in one common platform.

Furthermore, BOA3 smart cameras deliver the flexibility and uncompromised functionality to enable quick, cost-effective embedded machine vision deployments.

BOA3 comes with iNspect, an easy-to-use, 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 (OCR) based on a pre-trained AI inference network.

The smart camera models with 1.2MP, 5MP, and 12MP monochrome sensors are available now, while colour versions are planned for release at the end of this year. New sensor and lens options will be added to the platform in 2025.
