What is FlexiVision One?#
FlexiVision One is our VisionController-based vision solution, designed to guide the robot and available as an add-on component for FlexiBowl® systems. While retaining all the powerful functions of the previous version, therefore allowing the unloading, separation, recognition, and picking of loose parts on the feeder surface, FlexiVision One revolutionizes the user experience. Thanks to complete step-by-step guidance and intuitive tools, we have greatly simplified the process, making programming and use accessible and usable by anyone, regardless of experience level.
