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.

，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。“通tong過guo將jiang我wo們men在zai機ji器qi視shi覺jiao方fang麵mian的de專zhuan業ye知zhi識shi與yu西xi門men子zi在zai自zi動dong化hua和he數shu字zi化hua市shi場chang的de強qiang大da背bei景jing相xiang結jie合he，我wo們men的de合he作zuo將jiang使shi我wo們men能neng夠gou提ti供gong預yu測ce試shi的de應ying用yong場chang景jing和he一yi致zhi的de產chan品pin組zu合he選xuan項xiang供gong客ke戶hu選xuan擇ze。我wo們men能neng夠gou開kai發fa能neng夠gou幫bang助zhu他ta們men顯xian著zhu縮suo短duan上shang市shi時shi間jian的de解jie決jue方fang案an。”

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."
