FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Microscan upgrades Visionscape, the most comprehensive machine

vision software for multi-platform use

RENTON, WA, April 2010 — Microscan, a global technology leader for track, trace and control solutions,

announces the availability of Visionscape® 4.1. Microscan’s Visionscape® is a completely scalable,

single-software package that can be used on both GigE solutions and smart cameras. Visionscape’s

comprehensive machine vision toolset includes blob analysis, OCR, OCV, barcode, vector and edge

algorithms, plus the industry leading pattern-matching tool, Intellifind.

Visionscape® 4.1 brings additional tools such as color matching and color segmentation. Color matching

can be used in high speed applications such as sorting parts, and color segmentation enables other tools

to be applied in a specific color plane. The upgrade also includes flexibility in creating custom user

interfaces via VB.net and C#. In addition, the expanded platform support of Visionscape® 4.1 allows

users to choose from a wide range of third party GigE cameras.

“It is very unique what we have in Visionscape®, because no other providers combine the breadth of tools

and flexibility of scripting and interfaces in a single software package with the scalability of functioning

both on PCs or smart cameras,” states Bruce Scharf, Microscan VP of Engineering. “We are committed to

continuing our investment in this industry-leading machine vision platform with our customers needs in

mind.”

Visionscape’s graphical programming environment for rapid development of sophisticated machine vision

applications does not require software coding skills. Machine vision jobs developed for a smart camera

platform can directly be transferred to a PC-based solution without reprogramming.

“One challenge facing integration partners today is the lack of scalability or availability from various

vendors.Many vendors have different software platforms for different hardware options,” notes Matt Van

Bogart, Microscan Channel Manager. “Microscan is the only vendor to provide a single comprehensive

machine vision solution including NERLITE® lighting, cameras, and software. Basically, with Microscan

you get all of the hardware needed, and with Visionscape® you don’t need to learn multiple software

programs to support your customers.”
