Samsara VS2 Series Vision System CLOUD-MANAGED VS2 VISION SYSTEM DATASHEET Samsara s VS2-series machine vision system combines next-generation processing power with builtin cloud storage and reporting to reduce production defects and enable faster, easier, more reliable quality management. OVERVIEW Samsara s VS2-series machine vision system is an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-monitor quality management system that makes automated product inspection affordable and fast to deploy across many production lines. The system combines built-in connectivity and automated traceability reporting with advanced image processing capabilitiy to reduce defects and make previously complex inspection challenges affordable. Centrally managed and deployed verification programs reduce downtime and line setup, while out-of-the-box traceability reporting and defect alerting increase operational compliance, productivity, and quality. APPLICATIONS Food & Beverage 1D/2D code reading Label printing, matching, and positioning Lot, batch, expiration text verification Fill and seal inspection Pharmaceuticals Blister, vial counting Serial number, 1D/2D code reading Fill and safety seal verification Distribution, Warehouse, and Logistics Multi-label, multi-code scanning Pallet verification HIGHLIGHTS Built-in WiFi, Ethernet, and cloud configuration allows for deployments in minutes rather than weeks Automatically report on and track traceability and quality metrics with no extra IT hardware Cloud dashboard makes inspection and quality reporting easy to install, operate, and monitor Integrates with exsiting MES/production systems to automate quality checks
Powerful, Easy-to-Configure Vision Applications Samsara s inspection system makes it intuitive and fast to setup 100% vision verification for the most common quality-management challenges without time-consuming training for every new product or label. The vision interface is securely accessible anywhere without special IT access and can be monitored, configured, and updated centrally for every line.

Integrated Traceability, Remote Monitoring, and Reporting The VS2 s always-connected architecture means that quality and plant managers can monitor the historical performance of every line without the purchase or setup of additional servers, databases, or systems. CENTRAL CONFIGURATION AND INTEGRATION Central configuration of VS2 cameras means common programs can be easily deployed or modified across every line. New product SKUs can be quickly configured with a single click. VS2s also integrate with existing production systems, PLCs, and historians to allow automatic product changeovers and fast deployments with minimal change to operators existing processes. AUTOMATIC PRODUCT IMAGES AND TRACEABILITY Every product image - from every run - is easily accessible and searchable, as is quality performance across lines. Use builtin secure, online traceability reporting to quickly verify that troublesome line performance has been resolved, or instantly answer customer reporting requests with always-available production reports from any date range, including rate and quality statistics and product images. HMI/RECIPE MANAGEMENT AND EASY CHANGEOVERS VS2 controllers host on-line and remotely accessible HMI Recipe Managers that allow operators to quickly specify characteritstics of a product run and identify current run status or if there has been a rejection or quality issue. Easily deploy vision cameras across every line with built-in traceability reporting, live remote monitoring, and quality analysis
