Secondary Solutions Inc. integrates production-line machine vision around practical Vision Tunnel, Vision Tower, Easy Vision, and Easy Reader Control Console paths. SSI scopes the inspection zone, part presentation, lighting, barcode, QR, OCR, label, part presence, and product verification requirements, then connects pass/fail rules, operator feedback, reject response, and data handoffs so the system works inside real line constraints.
Fastest start: send line photos or video, target throughput, product spacing, acceptance criteria, reject action, and PLC, MES, database, or label-system handoff needs.

A camera can find a defect, but a production-ready line also needs controlled presentation, stable lighting, repeatable inspection geometry, operator feedback, fail-response logic, and a supportable handoff to the line. SSI scopes those pieces together around the right tunnel, tower, Easy Vision, Easy Reader, or custom integration path.
SSI starts from a practical platform architecture, then integrates the camera, lighting, operator feedback, controls, and records around the line behavior. Vision Tunnel handles controlled inline coverage; Vision Tower handles compact checkpoints; Easy Vision handles fast camera and HMI deployment; and Easy Reader handles focused barcode, QR, OCR, and label verification.
Controlled inline inspection for moving product when coverage, lighting, triggers, and reject timing must be repeatable.
Compact line-side inspection when one visible face, label, code, feature, package, or operator-assisted step can be controlled.
Self-contained camera and HMI inspection for presence, orientation, label, assembly, or defect checks without a full custom machine build.
Focused console for barcode, QR, OCR, expected-code, date/lot, and label-readability checks before release.
A tunnel, tower, Easy Vision, or Easy Reader project succeeds when each inspection result has a defined line response. SSI scopes the physical presentation, image decision, operator feedback, controls output, and record path as one production workflow.
Part spacing, orientation, fixture, trigger, and inspection face are made repeatable.
Camera, reader, lighting, lens, and platform position are matched to the target.
Barcode, OCR, label, feature, count, or package checks produce a usable pass/fail result.
Reject, divert, stop, alarm, hold, rework prompt, or operator feedback is triggered.
Images, counts, CSV, database, MES, WMS, or PLC handoffs are added when required.
| Line condition | Vision Tunnel | Vision Tower | Easy Vision | Easy Reader |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inspection coverage | Best when multiple sides, labels, codes, or features must be checked in motion. | Best when one visible face, code, label, or feature is the primary checkpoint. | Best when a self-contained camera and HMI can verify presence, orientation, label, assembly, or defect conditions. | Best when barcode, QR, OCR, expected-code, date, lot, or label-readability checks drive the workflow. |
| Line behavior | Continuous inline flow with controlled spacing, triggers, and reject timing. | Station, fixture, line-side, or operator-assisted flow with compact footprint. | Line-side or station flow where the camera has a stable target view and practical operator access. | Operator-forward console flow for focused code, label, and expected-value verification. |
| Fail response | Reject, stop, hold, alarm, log, image capture, or downstream quality decision. | Operator prompt, pass/fail display, stop/go output, alarm, hold, or logged event. | HMI pass/fail, alarm, quality hold, stop/go signal, image review, or downstream action as scoped. | HMI prompts, counts, alarms, stop/go outputs, CSV, database, MES, or label-system handoffs. |
| Best first evidence | Line video, spacing, product orientation, target sides, target speed, and reject point. | Part photo, target inspection face, station layout, trigger method, and operator flow. | Inspection goal, product photos, camera location, acceptance criteria, network needs, and support expectations. | Code samples, expected values, label examples, HMI workflow, data output, and exception handling rules. |
These are the early decisions that usually determine whether a Vision Tunnel, Vision Tower, Easy Vision, Easy Reader, or custom integration path is the right starting point.
Use a Vision Tunnel when the line needs controlled inline coverage, repeatable lighting, and timed pass/fail behavior around moving product. Use a Vision Tower when a compact line-side or station-based checkpoint can see the target face reliably. Use Easy Vision when a self-contained camera and HMI platform can cover the inspection target quickly. Use Easy Reader when the requirement centers on barcode, QR, OCR, expected-code, or label verification. SSI confirms the path from line video, product samples, speed, lighting, operator flow, and acceptance criteria.
Yes. Vision results can be scoped for PLC outputs, HMI feedback, alarms, stop/go behavior, MES or database handoffs, CSV records, image storage, label-system checks, or operator prompts. The final interface depends on the current line controls and the record requirements.
The failed check becomes a defined production action: reject, stop, hold, alarm, rework prompt, image capture, traceability record, or log-only exception. SSI scopes the timing, product spacing, reject point, and confirmation sensing when the line needs physical reject handling.
Yes. Photos or a short video are often enough to identify the likely platform path, missing constraints, and first quote inputs. Useful evidence includes part presentation, spacing, inspection face, target rate, good and bad examples, and the downstream action after a failed check.
Send the examples you have and the production risk you are trying to control. SSI can help translate the goal into acceptance criteria, such as readable code, correct label, date or lot match, part presence, orientation, feature confirmation, or pack-out state.
SSI starts with the closest practical platform, then scopes the required integration: camera and lighting layout, controls, guarding, conveyor or station constraints, operator feedback, reject handling, data output, startup behavior, and support needs.
When the inspection result needs more than an alarm or operator prompt, SSI can pair the camera system with standard or high-speed knock-off equipment. The goal is a complete pass/fail response: detect the issue, track the product, remove it from the line, and confirm the reject action.
Encoder-synchronized knock-off handling for higher-throughput lines where product position, spacing, and reject timing need tighter control.
Sensor-timed knock-off handling for moderate-speed conveyors that need a reliable reject action tied to the inspection fail signal.
Send photos, target throughput, code or label requirements, pass/fail criteria, reject action, and integration needs. SSI will route the request to the right vision platform or custom integration path.
