Saving The Lens For Last? Try Concurrent Engineering Instead

Article | By Stuart W. Singer and Jim Sullivan, Schneider Optics

Designers have been known to “save the lens for last” when creating vision systems with very specific black box dimensions and lighting, resolution, and pixel specifications. One solution to this dilemma is a new and improved design approach called concurrent engineering.
