How-to create IDS NXT vision apps with block-based editor

AI: cameras & software

Learn how to build your own AI vision apps for IDS NXT cameras without writing a single line of code. This video shows you how to use the block-based editor to create custom workflows for AI-based image processing and deploy them directly on the camera. We’ll guide you through the entire process – from setting up your app in the cloud-based IDS NXT lighthouse to simulating, exporting, and running it on real hardware. Discover how easy it is to integrate AI vision into factory automation using intuitive tools and graphical programming.
