Ensuring the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
Systems integration is all about taking various discrete components, or sub-systems, and developing a larger coherent
system that fulfils a technical, or business objective. By coupling these sub-systems together, perhaps via a software
application or HMI, products can be designed that are capable of far more than the components in isolation.
In our world, the sub-systems are often diverse devices such as:
- X-ray controllers
- Imaging devices
- Safety systems
- i/o devices
- PLCs
- Motion controllers
- Barcode / QR readers
- MiFare / RFID readers
- Fingerprint readers
Almost all of our X-ray imaging and machine vision projects involve some systems integration.
Bringing it all together:
The integration process is often about providing a software application, or suite of applications, that bring these
components together to form a User Interface (UI / HMI) that allows control of the sub-systems. Image processing,
analysis algorithms, data storage and reporting are frequently software features required.
Whether you already have hardware devices designed/selected that require integration, or whether you are starting
from scratch and need assistance in choosing the right sub-systems, WyeTec engineers can help with your product design,
be that initial prototyping and proof of concept, or adding the polish that makes it ready for market.
