MVTec MERLIC provides an easy to use, all-in-one machine vision software package that allows users of all technical
backgrounds to quickly create solutions to standard machine vision applications, develop the user interface, and launch the application all without programming code. MERLIC offers a number of unique features for the backend development environment, as well as a very useful and unique feature for the frontend, or user interface: Multiple remote frontends.
In real-world applications, it is likely that people serving different roles need to have access, at different levels, to the vision program running on a machine. The operator requires the ability to start and stop the program, verify performance, and perhaps adjust a few basic parameters or perform simple training tasks to set up for changing production runs. Meanwhile, the engineer who developed the application may require open access to all the parameters and functions of the program in order to optimise performance or make changes to the program. Lastly, the production manager or operations manager may want to keep track of the inspection results of the system over time to ensure the production is running optimally. With MERLIC, it is possible to create a password protected Frontend for each of these user types with each frontend providing different levels of access and information. Furthermore, each frontend can be viewed simultaneously, while the program runs unimpeded, from multiple remote locations.
With MERLIC’s multiple remote frontends, the line operator can ensure the system is set up for the right production run, while the developer or system integrator can troubleshoot the program from his office desk half way around the world, and the operations manager can view real-time statistics from the boardroom.
