New Watermark Feature for VE Smart Cameras

November 22, 2021

Banner’s VE Smart Cameras and Vision Manager software have been updated to add a watermark feature for saved images. If a user chooses to enable watermarking, this feature modifies the captured inspection image and permanently embeds user-selected text on top of it, for quality control and documentation. For example, a unique VIN number imported over EtherNet/IP can be saved on the image of a component intended for a vehicle to be assembled. The user has a permanent record that the part passed quality control, referencing the precise individual component’s exact image, as recorded by the VE device.
