Merlic Goes Deep Learning

With the release of MERLIC 5, MVTec’s state-of-the-art deep learning technologies are finding their way into the all-in-one machine vision software MERLIC. Easier than ever before, users can now harness the power of deep learning for their vision applications.

Flexible Licensing

MERLIC 5 introduces a new licensing model for greatest possible flexibility. It allows customers to choose the package – and price – that exactly fits the scope of their application

Improved Camera Handling
