The first result of this alliance is the Basler Vision Connector—a powerful, easy-to-use app that allows Basler's vision components to be easily integrated into Siemens' Industrial Edge ecosystem.  "The Vision Connector is a game changer for our customers," explains Dr. Dietmar Ley, CEO of Basler AG. "By being an integral part of the ecosystem, it significantly lowers the bar for our customers to integrate computer vision into an existing automation system." In addition, the Basler Vision Connector will also be integrated into Siemens’ SIMATIC TIA ecosystem, enabling customers to freely choose the best-fitting solution for their applications.

該合作的第一個成果是Basler Vision Connector
，這是一款功能強大、易用的應用程序，可讓Basler的視覺組件輕鬆集成到西門子的工業邊緣生態係統中。Basler公司首席執行官Dietmar Ley博士解釋說:“對於我們的客戶來說，Vision Connector是一個遊戲規則的改變者。作為生態係統不可或缺的一部分

，它大大降低了我們的客戶將計算機視覺集成到現有自動化係統的門檻。”此外，Basler Vision Connector還將集成到西門子的SIMATIC TIA生態係統中
，使客戶能夠自由選擇最適合其應用的解決方案。

This connectivity represents a significant improvement in the use of machine vision. "We are very excited about our new partnership with Siemens", said Ley. "By combining our expertise in machine vision with Siemens' strong background in the automation and digitalization market, our collaboration will allow us to offer pre-tested application scenarios and aligned product portfolio options for customers to choose from. We are able to develop solutions that can help them significantly reduce their time-to-market."

這種連接代表了機器視覺應用的重大進步。“我們對與西門子的新合作夥伴關係感到非常興奮，”Ley說道。“tongguojiangwomenzaijiqishijiaofangmiandezhuanyezhishiyuximenzizaizidonghuaheshuzihuashichangdeqiangdabeijingxiangjiehe，womendehezuojiangshiwomennenggoutigongyuceshideyingyongchangjingheyizhidechanpinzuhexuanxianggongkehuxuanze。womennenggoukaifanenggoubangzhutamenxianzhusuoduanshangshishijiandejiejuefangan。”

This is only the initial phase of the partnership; plans are in place to broaden its scope to encompass a wider array of computer vision applications by offering Basler's pylon SDK on Siemens’ automation devices. This will allow customers to easily and seamlessly integrate vision applications into their automation processes, including conventional computer vision functionality as well as performing evaluations based on machine learning. The partnership also includes aligning customer support between the two companies to ensure that customers have a single point of contact for information and advice.

“Together we’re integrating machine vision into automation," said Rainer Brehm, CEO Factory Automation at Siemens. "This helps with many tasks, for example when it comes to difficult quality control or to reduce errors and thus defects in industrial production, or to react to the shortage of skilled workers. In doing so, we are taking an important step towards an adaptable, sustainable production and increasingly autonomous production processes."
