Bring Deep Learning to Your Keyence Cameras

Roboflow lets you train deep learning models on images from your Keyence CV-X and VS series systems.

Keyence Cameras AI Vision Solution

Keyence vision systems provides factory floors with icon-driven setup and rugged cameras. But the built-in tools have a ceiling. When parts vary, lighting drifts, or defects refuse to follow a pattern, teams need deep learning they can train on their own data. Roboflow is the fastest way to get there.

The CV-X series (opens in a new tab) is Keyence's flagship all-in-one vision system, with camera options up to 21 MP and 64 MP for high-resolution inspection. The newer VS series (opens in a new tab) packs built-in AI and the ZoomTrax optical zoom into an IP67 smart camera, and the IV series vision sensors cover simpler presence and OK/NG checks.

• Attributes: All-in-one controller plus camera, icon-driven setup, factory-hardened

• Resolution: Camera options up to 21 MP and 64 MP on CV-X

• Ecosystem: Proprietary cameras and controllers with rule-based and AI tools, PLC protocols such as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET

The images Keyence controllers capture are yours. Archive them, label the defects your current tools miss, and train a model in Roboflow. Your team owns the model, the data, and the ability to retrain as your parts change.

Want AI without the integration work? Roboflow’s AI1 deployment device (opens in a new tab) packages onboard AI compute, integrated lighting, and an industrial camera into a plug-and-play system for real-time computer vision - no separate camera, lighting, or edge computer to spec.

AI for Keyence Cameras Workflows

Use Keyence cameras? Explore Workflows you can get started with to create computer vision apps in minutes. Easily deploy computer vision models with Roboflow Inference alongside your Keyence system. Integrate AI by connecting to existing PLC and HMI solutions via standard protocols like MQTT or OPC-UA.

How to Setup Keyence Cameras with AI

Teams often add Roboflow when a Keyence inspection hits its accuracy ceiling. Train a model on images archived from your own CV-X or VS system, then run it at the edge on an NVIDIA Jetson or industrial PC alongside your existing Keyence hardware, no rip-and-replace required.
