Vision software simplifies deployment and improves quality control
10 September 2026 
Rockwell Automation has announced a software package designed to simplify the deployment of vision inspection systems, and improve quality control. The FactoryTalk Analytics VisionAI software with new VisionStream and VisionLink capabilities, is an AI-powered inspection system that improves product quality, increases yield, and gains insights from production data. The no-code platform allows quality personnel and operators to train, deploy and manage AI-based inspection models without needing machine vision expertise.
The VisionStream capability learns product characteristics automatically from live production data and detects anomalies without requiring manual image labelling. It simplifies deployment and accelerates time-to-value by reducing the time and expertise needed to create and maintain vision inspection models.
The VisionLink capability allows manufacturers to add AI-powered inspection to existing vision systems. By connecting third-party cameras to the FactoryTalk software running on edge hardware, manufacturers can enhance inspection performance, access advanced analytics, enable cloud-based backup and management, and extend the lifecycles of their vision assets without needing to replace existing hardware.
