What Happened
Bertrandt has introduced the 'Production Cluster,' a bundled offering that brings together specialists in process consulting, manufacturing engineering, digitalization, and plant engineering from its subsidiaries concept AG and evopro AG. The cluster aims to holistically transform production sites across all industries, from efficient existing facilities to fully networked smart factories. Bertrandt markets it as a way to make production future-ready, smart, and digitally connected.
“With the 'Production Cluster,' we pursue a holistic approach that goes far beyond isolated optimization measures. Our goal is to create real added value for our customers: in addition to deep process expertise, they benefit from cutting-edge, flexible, and digital production solutions that unlock efficiency potential, accelerate time-to-market, and enable future-proof and sustainable value creatio”
The cluster includes the in-house developed evoVIU camera, which performs industrial image processing and can be used standalone or integrated into existing systems. Until now, this area was often considered complex and difficult to access. evoVIU changes that with an intuitive, browser-based no-code application, making image processing accessible to all user groups regardless of prior knowledge or existing systems. The VIU1 and VIU2 camera models cover conventional and AI-based applications, from simple data capture to real-time analysis of complex production data.
- Completeness checks
- Quality assurance
- Surface inspections
- Measurements
- Object and text recognition
- AI-based classifications and anomaly detection
The flexible workflows allow companies to quickly develop, test, and adapt image processing applications without extensive programming or external support. Depending on the use case, customers can benefit from productivity increases of up to 40 percent and a reduction in error rates by up to 90 percent. evoVIU also enables seamless integration into existing systems and scales projects flexibly and cost-efficiently across various development stages.
“With evoVIU, we are closing the gap between complex image processing and intuitive usability. Image processing should be accessible to everyone and easily adaptable - regardless of prior experience. evoVIU combines hardware and software into a holistic solution that shortens development cycles, increases efficiency and quality, and boosts throughput by up to 25 percent.”
Why this matters
For manufacturers across all industries, the cluster promises to make industrial image processing accessible without coding skills, enabling automated quality checks and inspection. Bertrandt says it can raise productivity by up to 40%, cut error rates by up to 90%, and shorten time-to-market. That helps production teams and businesses create more efficient, sustainable, and competitive factories.
Terms in This Story
- no-code
- A method of creating applications through visual interfaces rather than programming, allowing non-developers to build software.
- industrial image processing
- The use of cameras and software to automatically inspect, measure, or analyze objects on a production line.
- AI-based
- Relying on artificial intelligence algorithms, such as machine learning, to recognize patterns or make decisions from data.
- time-to-market
- The length of time needed to develop and launch a product; shorter is generally better for competitive advantage.
