Free tool · Vision latency budget
Vision reject latency budget — does physics allow your model to keep up?
Enter line speed and inspection distance. See milliseconds available for inference and whether an edge AI PC is mandatory for rejects.
Line & inspection
Your line speed, latency budget and model class are attached to the assessment form automatically.
Sales · Vision systems
Specialized vision equipment & techniques — available on request.
This latency tool sizes the timing envelope. SAS also specifies and integrates the camera, optics and reject path for your line — food, packaging, pharma and PCB/AOI.
Camera platforms
Area-scan and line-scan industrial cameras sized to resolution, speed and FOV — GigE / USB3 / CoaXPress as the cell requires.
3D & specialty imaging
Stereo / structured-light 3D, telecentric optics and selected hyperspectral or IR setups quoted on request for defect and FOD tasks.
Lighting & trigger sync
Strobe, dome, backlight and IR lighting engineered with encoder / photoeye triggers so exposure stays locked to takt time.
PCB / electronics AOI
Fine-pitch board inspection cells with multi-camera detect models, edge inference and PLC reject or mark paths.
Food & washdown cells
IP69K-minded housings, hygiene-friendly mounts and foreign-object / seal / label QC tied to IntelliLink divert I/O.
Edge + PLC reject path
Edge AI PC next to the cell, IntelliLink digital outs for divert/reject, and SCADA/HMI logging for audit-ready evidence.
Equipment lists, optics and techniques are project-specific — we do not publish a fixed catalog price. Share product, line speed and defect types; we return a cell concept and quotation path.
FAQ
Vision latency questions.
How is the latency budget calculated?
Part travel time ≈ inspection distance ÷ line speed. We apply a usable fraction for capture, preprocessing and PLC handoff, then compare to typical model runtimes.
Why can plant GPU still be wrong for rejects?
Network hops and shared queues add jitter. Reject/divert decisions that must hit takt time should stay on an edge AI PC next to the camera and PLC I/O.
What if the budget is negative?
You need more distance, a local speed change, simpler models, better optics/lighting, parallel hosts — or a process redesign. Hardware alone may not fix physics.
Does this include PLC scan time?
Only as part of the usable-fraction assumption. Always validate with your real PLC cycle, reject actuator and camera trigger timing.
Can SAS supply specialized vision cameras and optics?
Yes — on request. We specify and integrate line-scan, area-scan, 3D/stereo, telecentric optics, strobe/IR lighting and trigger/reject hardware for food, packaging and PCB/AOI cells. Techniques and equipment lists are quoted after a short assessment.
