Dalsa teams up with Rockwell

Dalsa has announced that its IPD Vision Appliance products have been approved for participation in the Rockwell Automation Encompass Program.

“Dalsa’s IPD products are a valuable addition to the Encompass Program,” said Suzanne Kerner, Encompass Program manager at Rockwell Automation.

“This partnership will enable our common customers to successfully integrate Rockwell Automation controllers with Dalsa’s popular IPD machine vision solutions.”

Both companies are committed to providing their customers with best-in-industry product solutions, application expertise and global support.”

Dalsa is exclusively supported in Australia and New Zealand by Adept Electronic Solutions. Marc Fimeri, managing director of Adept, said “"¦ the closer links being forged between Dalsa and Rockwell in the US will give Rockwell integrators and end users in Australia and New Zealand easier access to these great machine vision products from Dalsa.
