Decentralised hardware with PoE+

Vision over Ethernet (VoE) is a PC-based image processing concept from VisionTools based on decentralised hardware. The system contains specially developed hardware, which is perfectly matched and offers many advantages.

  • The control cabinet can be omitted, saving floor space and air conditioning.
  • Low component diversity, thus fewer spare parts
  • Can be extended almost at will without retrofitting
  • Ready-to-install cables in standard lengths to reduce installation effort
  • Power supply of the peripheral devices via PoE+ possible
  • Fast data transmission via 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink Port
  • 2D cameras with different sensor resolutions 1.6 – 20 Mega Pixel and 3D scanner usable

Further information can be found here in our current product folder (PDF, 652 KB).


Our PC-based image processing systems are suitable for use in automation systems in almost all production environments in automotive and mechanical engineering, electrical equipment industry, packaging industry, plastics industry and logistics.

The systems and cameras can be flexibly combined and individually adapted to customer requirements.

Cameras and 3D-Scanner

  • GigE-cameras
  • Cyclospotter
  • 3D-cameras
  • VoE-Thermal Cam

Machine Interfaces

  • Profinet
  • TCP/IP Client-Server
  • OPC-Classic
  • OPC-UA
  • RFC 1006
  • VoE-Sly Box – evaluation computer for image analysis and is connected to the machine control for data exchange.
  • VoE-Power Supply – power supply for the PoE switch and any additional devices.
  • VoE-NET Box II – new PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) switch with two 10GigE uplink ports and eight GigE ports for cameras and lights
  • VoE-Cameras – in a protective housing to grab the images from test parts, with up to 12 megapixels.
  • VoE – AI Box – powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) for evaluating images with artificial intelligence
  • VoE-MDL – module lights with High Power LED illuminate the scene to be recorded

The connection of further NETBox modules in line topology allows an almost unlimited extension of the system.
