Specialist layerWhen no product does the job
Custom vision and software where standard products stop.
Machine vision, custom LabVIEW development and OPC and SQL interfaces, for the inspection, equipment and production data that standard products leave uncovered.
How we approach it
Inspection that acts, and software written to be maintained.
Vision systems
Inspection that acts, rather than a camera that watches. Kairos integrates inspection and machine vision into the plant control sequence using NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection.

Camera options include Basler-sensor smart and GigE Vision cameras from VGA to 5 megapixel, Ethernet cameras with Power over Ethernet, and high-speed line-scan cameras up to 8k resolution over Camera Link. Selection follows the required resolution and inspection speed.
- Vision integration
- GigE and line-scan cameras
- Operator feedback
Industrial software
Written to be maintained, and reviewed before it runs your plant. Custom LabVIEW development and code review sit alongside third-party hardware and software integration, including OPC and SQL server interfaces.

The work includes system configuration, hardware specification, project management and end-user training.
- Custom LabVIEW development
- System integration
- OPC and SQL interfacing
Specialist communication
Getting a plant event to the person who can act on it. OPC and SQL interfaces connect industrial software and data. SMS or GSM notifications carry plant events to the agreed operating workflow.

Specialist layer
Connect the camera, the code and the control sequence.
Machine vision and purpose-built software become useful when their results reach the control system. Kairos integrates vision, LabVIEW, OPC and SQL around that connection.
