Unfortunately, for a certain segment of our customer base, this is a reality; the economy is in a state of hibernation, and it’s on the news every day . In a recession, there are tough choices to make . Matrox Imaging’s strategy is to protect its existing customer base and engage in targeted marketing and product initiatives to prepare for the upturn, when it does come . That brings us to our Matrox Iris GT smart camera and Design Assistant software . This product bundle helps us to expand our customer base, to reach out to customers beyond the traditional OEM developer . Matrox Iris GT is built for automation experts who need to integrate vision . On the outside, the Matrox Iris GT has a rugged, dust proof, washable casing with IP67 rating, and lockable and waterproof M12 connectors, and even a VGA output . We’ve made it easy for the camera to communicate with automation devices though Ethernet/IP and Modbus® over TCP/IP . On the inside, we’ve got the Intel® Atom . The intelligence lies in the Design Assistant interactive camera configuration environment . The flow chart-based interface is intuitive and makes vision accessible to anyone who wants to solve a machine vision problem without complex programming tools . Design Assistant’s functionality is based on our field-proven Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) . What’s more, we are offering the Matrox Iris GT and Design Assistant bundle at a very attractive price point . Ironically, economic downtime often allows companies to redefine themselves and look at simpler and/or speedier ways to achieve their business goals . These times can become good opportunities to experiment; we believe the Matrox Iris GT makes experimentation a sound investment . Let’s get ready for spring!
