Your end-users, do they mess around with the spreadsheet programming interface, via some kind of remote PC interface or not at all? We deployed quite a few Cognex InSights in the early days but version control and distribution of updates was a major headache.
Sidenote, I feel partly responsible because we bought a ton of systems from McGarry's previous company Acumen, then I guess he took off and created the InSight. Colorful guy, I remember him showing up with his fancy Porsche around that time...
- snerbles 4y ago> version control and distribution of updates was a major headache I wound up writing an in-house tool that pulls the program files from each camera on the machine LAN over FTP and commit them to a local Git repo. There was also some futzing around with XML to get the backup metadata to work seamlessly, but it's not too hard to figure out. Now getting co-workers to use Git and not various combinations of "Copy of (1) Copy of visionproject (FINAL) 3-2-16 2a.zip" was a different challenge.
- snerbles 4y agoApologies, I forgot the rest of the question. The end customers generally only interacted with the Cognex cameras via HMI applications (VisionView on panels running various versions of FactoryTalk View), rarely would we hear about their plant engineers actually re-programming the cameras.
