One Smart Vision Camera, Any Vision Job

Roboflow AI1 is a smart vision camera with an NVIDIA Jetson inside. Run the model your station needs today, then push a different one over the air when the job changes.

Smart Vision Cameras AI Vision Solution

Most smart vision cameras are bought for one task and stay that way, set up with a fixed set of tools for a single station. When the job changes, the camera often gets replaced. A smart vision camera that runs any model you train can do a different job next month without new hardware.

Roboflow AI1 (opens in a new tab) pairs an 8 MP industrial camera (3840 x 2160 at 30 fps) and an integrated 8-LED ring light with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX that runs detection and segmentation models you train in Roboflow, or any of 50,000+ models from Roboflow Universe. The same camera can inspect parts, read lot codes and labels, check PPE and lockout-tagout, or count output and catch jams.

  • Featured: Roboflow AI1 (AI1-8MP-4MM): 8 MP sensor, 4 mm lens with electronic focus, NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8 GB, IP54 housing
  • Attributes: Runs the model you choose, task changes over the air, fleet management from one place, 256 GB local storage
  • Integration: Results to your PLC over OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, or Profinet, a web HMI for operators, and events to MES, Power BI, or Slack

Roboflow Deployment Manager pushes a new model or Workflow to one camera or your whole fleet over the air. Moving a camera to a new line, a new product, or a new task is a software change, not a hardware purchase, and your team owns every model it trains.

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

AI for Smart Vision Cameras Workflows

Use smart vision cameras? Explore Workflows you can get started with to create computer vision apps in minutes. Try the top open and closed source models on frames from your site for free, then deploy a Workflow to AI1 that runs on the camera and sends results in real time.

How to Setup Smart Vision Cameras with AI

AI1 mounts where the work happens and connects over Gigabit Ethernet. Train a model in Roboflow, deploy it from Roboflow Deployment Manager, and AI1 runs it on-device, sending results to your PLC, HMI, MES, or alerting tools.

“Achieving positive results using AI in a lab environment is easy, but the real challenge comes when scaling the solution across a network like ours without disrupting day-to-day operations. Our partnership with Roboflow is allowing us to do just that.”
