COGNEX ENTERS NEW MARKET WITH LAUNCH OF IN-SIGHT SNAPP VISION SENSOR

Cognex Corporation announced the launch of the In-Sight SnAPP vision sensor, redefining standards for ease of use, accuracy, and functionality in an industrial sensor. This product expands the Company's capabilities into the vision-sensing space and adds an additional $1 billion to its served markets.

“The In-Sight SnAPP, designed for maximum simplicity and ease of deployment, provides customers a new, accessible on-ramp to machine vision,” said Carl Gerst, Executive Vice President of Products, Platforms, and Solutions at Cognex. “We're now making Cognex's industry-leading edge learning technology accessible to more businesses around the world, in nearly every end market, enabling users to quickly improve efficiency and streamline their manufacturing processes.”

The In-Sight SnAPP sensor solves a range of common quality control challenges, including presence/absence inspections, assembly verification, and defect detection. Vision-based detection is a step-up from conventional laser-based sensors, providing the superior capability to locate features and parts in any position and to detect subtle defects. In-Sight SnAPP is trained using just a few examples and does not need any programming or vision knowledge by the user. Additionally, the web-based user interface allows customers to plug in and run In-Sight SnAPP from anywhere using a standard web browser – the first Cognex product to not require software for installation.

“The In-Sight SnAPP is our easiest-to-use product to date, combining our industry-leading vision capabilities and edge learning technology with a sharper focus on user experience,” commented Robert Willett, President and CEO of Cognex. “Expanding into the vision sensing market with the In-Sight SnAPP will help propel our Emerging Customer initiative, broadening our customer base and contributing to our long-term growth objectives.”
