Customer Background
We met this customer at the SPS exhibition in Germany. When we met, he told us in detail his requirements. He needed at least 5 network ports to connect the camera and also needed USB. At that time, Collard did not have this product. After our engineers drew and designed it, we finally provided the most effective solution.
Challenges
- Multi-camera connectivity bottleneck: The existing system only supported 2–3 GigE camera inputs with poor scalability.
- Processing delays: High-resolution image analysis caused noticeable lag, slowing down the production pace.
- System instability: Extended operation often resulted in overheating and crashes, affecting inspection continuity.
Solution: EPC-302B 5 LAN Industrial PC
The customer adopted the EPC-302B 5 LAN Industrial PC as the core inspection control unit. Key advantages included:
High performance computing: Powered by the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor, capable of real-time analysis of high-resolution images.
5 independent Gigabit LAN ports: Enabled simultaneous connection of up to five industrial cameras for multi-angle and multi-station inspection.
Intelligent cooling system: Guaranteed stable, crash-free operation under continuous heavy loads.
Industrial-grade reliability: Designed for 24/7 operation, well-suited for harsh factory environments.
Implementation Results
Following deployment, the customer achieved:
- 40% increase in inspection efficiency: Five cameras working in parallel significantly accelerated throughput.
- 25% reduction in defect miss rate: Improved computing power enhanced the accuracy of image recognition algorithms.
- Near-zero downtime: Smart cooling ensured stable performance under high temperature and high load conditions.
- Improved production flexibility: Allowed for easy expansion of inspection tasks to support future smart manufacturing upgrades.
Customer Feedback
The German customer commented:
“The EPC-302B with 5 LAN ports perfectly meets our machine vision requirements. The IPC runs reliably with strong performance, providing solid support for our machinery .”
