Acquisition Alliance

Acquisition is the first step in a vision application.  To keep pace with the rapid development of new cameras and acquisition technologies, Cognex created the Acquisition Alliance.

Through the Acquisition Alliance, Cognex establishes strong technical and marketing relationships with major camera manufacturers. This strategic partnership program provides our mutual customers with best-in-class integrated machine vision solutions.

Benefits of the Acquisition Alliance program include rapid integration and qualification of new cameras with Cognex VisionPro® software and CVL®, the Cognex Vision Library through vendor self-verification, and enhanced customer service due to product cross-training.

The powerful acquisition software in VisionPro provides pre-configured, tightly integrated acquisition support for the complete range of industrial cameras and video formats. This allows cost-effective image acquisition using GigE Vision®, FireWire®, Camera Link®, high-speed analog, and many other image sources.

The Acquisition Alliance provides camera manufacturers with the top vision software on the market, ensuring that VisionPro and CVL users will always benefit from the most advanced vision technologies.
