Basler and Siemens join forces

(New partnership)

Basler AG has signed a partnership agreement with Siemens Technology, a leading innovator in the field of automation and digitalisation. This strategic partnership makes it much easier for our customers to integrate machine vision solutions directly into their automation systems.

The collaboration between Basler and Siemens will bring significant benefits to our customers that will help maximize productivity:

Basler Vision Connector:

The first result of the alliance is the Basler Vision Connector, a powerful, easy-to-use application that allows Basler imaging components to be easily integrated into the Siemens Industrial Edge ecosystem.

"Vision Connector is a game changer for our customers," explains Dr. Dietmar Ley, CEO of Basler AG.

"By becoming an integral part of this ecosystem, it will make it significantly easier for our customers to integrate computer vision into an existing automation system." In addition to the Industrial Edge ecosystem, the Basler Vision Connector will also be integrated into the Siemens SIMATIC TIA ecosystem, giving customers the freedom to choose the solution that best fits their application.

This contact represents a significant advance in the use of machine vision. - "We are very excited about our new partnership with Siemens," said Ley. "Combining our expertise in machine vision with Siemens' strong background in the automation and digitalization market will allow us to offer pre- tested application scenarios and a coordinated portfolio of product options to our customers.

This is only the initial phase of the partnership; it is planned to extend its scope to a wider range of computer vision applications by using the Basler Pylon SDK in Siemens automation tools. This will enable customers to easily and seamlessly integrate vision applications into their automation processes, including traditional computer vision functions as well as machine learning-based assessments.

The partnership will also include the coordination of customer support between the two companies to provide a single point of contact for information and advice to customers.
