The Industrial Smart Camera That Runs Your Models

Industrial Smart Cameras AI Vision Solution

An industrial smart camera does the image analysis inside the camera, with no separate PC on the line. Cognex and Keyence made the category familiar. Today what separates one smart camera from another is which AI models it can run and how easily your own team can update them as parts, packaging, and conditions change.

Roboflow AI1 (opens in a new tab) runs the models you choose on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX inside the camera: RF-DETR, YOLO, and segmentation models you train on your own parts, or any of 50,000+ models from Roboflow Universe. When a decision needs more judgment, AI1 can hand it to a vision-language model such as Gemini or Claude in the cloud. Every model update reaches your whole fleet in one over-the-air push from Roboflow Deployment Manager.

• Featured: Roboflow AI1 (AI1-8MP-4MM): 8 MP sensor, 4 mm lens with electronic focus, NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB, IP54 housing
• Attributes: Open model choice, over-the-air model and security updates, 5 years of software support, integrated 8-LED lighting
• Integration: OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet to your PLC, a web HMI for operators, and events to MES, Power BI, or Slack

Your team owns the model and the data. Label images from your line, train in Roboflow, and deploy to every AI1 at once. When a new part or defect shows up, add examples, retrain, and push the update without touching the hardware. Every decision is stored as a structured record you can audit later.

Already have cameras on the line? Roboflow Inference also runs models on GigE Vision and RTSP streams from the cameras you already have, so you can bring custom AI to existing stations and add AI1 where you need a new one.
