Into Ignite Lean
  • Pass/fail + measurements
  • Defect images
Back to Cognex Vision
  • Active recipe + build context

How It Works

  1. 1Cognex publishes results over its REST / FTP / TCP APIs.
  2. 2Ignite Lean attaches them to the build, raising NCs on fail.
  3. 3Active recipe and build context push back to the camera.

Recommended Workflows

How Cognex Vision works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how Cognex Vision routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

Inline inspection raises an NC instantly
Trigger A vision system flags a fail
  1. 1Cognex Vision posts the fail result + defect image to Ignite Lean.
  2. 2Ignite Lean attaches it to the build and opens an NC.
  3. 3The line gates downstream steps until the NC clears.
Quality is enforced at the camera, not just after the fact.
Active recipe pushes to the camera
Trigger A build of a new product starts
  1. 1Ignite Lean pushes the active recipe / inspection model to Cognex Vision.
  2. 2The camera switches to the right configuration automatically.
  3. 3Operators never select a recipe by hand.
No mis-set cameras, no false fails.
