For USB2 or USB3 cameras, FlyCapture2 AIK, available from our downloads page, must also be installed. Step 3—Connect the Camera to the PC. Connect the camera to the PC. For information, see the camera’s Getting Started Manual. Step 4—Start Cognex VisionPro Software. To start Cognex VisionPro: Launch the Cognex VisionPro QuickBuild application. The Cognex In-Sight 7000 (also Insight 7000) series of smart cameras is a high resolution vision system with cameras of varying features and software version. PatMax is available and offered on select cameras.

Cognex began exploring commercial applications of machine vision in the early 1980s.^{[citation needed]} In the 1990s, Cognex’s business grew due to a demand for machine vision tools to help automate semiconductor and electronics manufacturing. Semiconductor manufacturing remains an important market for Cognex, but it has expanded to general manufacturing applications in areas such as pharmaceutical, automotive, healthcare, packaging, aerospace and consumer products manufacturing.

The company’s product portfolio includes In-Sight, VisionPro software, and DataMan.^[1]

History[edit]

Cognex Corporation was founded in 1981 by Robert J. Shillman, a lecturer in human visual perception at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and two MIT graduate students, Bill Silver and Marilyn Matz. Cognex stands for Cognition Experts.

The company's first vision system, DataMan, was introduced in 1982. DataMan was an optical character recognition (OCR) system designed to read, verify, and assure the quality of letters, numbers, and symbols printed on products and components. The company's first customer was a typewriter manufacturer that purchased DataMan to read letters on typewriter keys and ensure that they were located in the correct position.

In 1989, Cognex went public on the NASDAQ exchange for $1.38 per share—within a year, the stock price had tripled.^[2]

In 1995, Cognex made the first of many acquisitions when it purchased Acumen, a U.S. based developer of wafer identification systems. Acquisitions have played an important role in the company’s growth and enabled Cognex to enter new markets for machine vision such as surface inspection and vehicle vision.

In 2004, the company won an intellectual property victory when a federal judge ruled in Cognex's favor in a patent lawsuit brought against the estate of the inventor Jerome H. Lemelson, who had filed dozens of submarine patents, some of which purported to cover machine vision processes. The machine vision-related patents were held invalid.^[3][4][5][6] The ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.^[7]

Cognex sold off its in-vehicle product in 2007, citing concerns about profitability and intellectual property issues.[1]

In 2015 Cognex sold off its Surface Vision Division and the associated range of products SmartView (web inspection), Vision Gear (slit inspection), Smart Advisor (process surveillance, web monitoring) and VisionPro Surface to Ametek Inc. for approximately 160M US$. The sold division represented about 12% of Cognex in terms of revenue and number of employees.^{[citation needed]}

In May 2017, it was announced Cognex authorized a new stock buyback program. They authorized the purchase of up to $100 million common stock in the open market.^[8]
