MVTec Introduces MERLIC A New Generation of Vision Software
MERLIC is an all-in-one, PC-based solution.
Munich, Germany - MVTec Software GmbH is pleased to introduce MERLIC, a new,
build complete solutions without programming. MERLIC offers a radically new
user experience with novel interaction concepts, an image-centered user
interface, and many easy-to-use tools.
To keep up with the growing world-wide demand for machine vision technology,
machine makers reduce development time by increasing productivity and
efficiency of their engineering teams. To enable vision engineers with
minimal software programming knowledge, as well as those who dont have time
to program a complete application, MVTec introduces the new software product
MERLIC. Based on MVTecs comprehensive expertise and designed in partnership
with users, MERLIC offers a rich and intuitive machine vision software
package.
MERLIC is an all-in-one, PC-based solution. It provides the customer with a
development and configuration environment to build complete machine vision
applications with integrated PLC communication and graphical user interface.
MERLIC includes many standard vision tools such as calibration, alignment,
measurement, counting, checking, identification, geometry, location, and
defect detection. It can also be extended with customized, user-defined
tools.
A key objective in developing MERLIC was to provide a user-friendly and
efficient workflow experience. MERLICs image-centered interface design
allows developers to focus on the image rather than on complex code or
parameter lists. Further enhancing the experience, MERLICs unique
easyTouch concept interactively helps the user towards the final solution.
For example, easyTouch recognizes and marks to be identified objects by
simply hovering the mouse pointer over an image. Thus, the users do not have
to configure complex parameters. For example, by simply hovering the mouse
pointer over an image, easyTouch automatically recognizes and marks
objects for inspection. Other intuitive features like the built-in front-end
GUI designer, support for multiple cameras, support for multiple languages,
and an automatic documentation generator for creating user manuals
significantly speed up the development process.
It is always our ambition to serve the machine vision market with
technology-leading products and solutions. states Olaf Munkelt, Managing
Director of MVTec. With MERLIC we can now provide the power of machine
vision to a broader group of users with an innovative, easy-to-use
interface.
MERLIC is scheduled for release in 2015. The current prototype of MERLIC
will be presented for the first time in public at the AUTOMATICA in Munich,
Germany (June 3-6, 2014).

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
