Machine vision developer Teledyne DALSA has launched an AI-powered smart camera for industrial automation and inspection. The BOA3 smart camera incorporates new sensor and AI inspection technologies developed by Teledyne. It is an integrated vision system in a compact rugged smart camera format designed for complex industrial applications.

BOA3 offers sensor resolutions from 1.2 to 12MP, integrated or C-mount lens options, onboard I/O, and includes machine vision software that is designed to be easy to use.

BOA3 comes with iNspect, a 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. It allows traditional vision tools to be combined with AI Classification and Object Detection models created in Astrocyte, Teledyne DALSA’s GUI-based AI Trainer software.

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