LMI Technologies Launches Gocator® 2D Smart Cameras

Vancouver, BC - LMI Technologies today announced the launch of Gocator® 2D Smart Cameras, a new class of industrial 2D vision systems that deliver high-speed imaging, high-performance processing with NVIDIA Orin NX, edge-native AI, rapid deployment, and factory-ready integration in a single, rugged device.

Built on the proven Gocator® smart platform and powered by GoPxL® vision inspection software, Gocator 2D Smart Cameras deliver LMI’s industrial-grade reliability to 2D inspection-without the need for PCs, external compute, or cloud connectivity. Using browser-based, drag-and-drop workflows, inspections can be designed, validated, and deployed in hours rather than weeks. The result is faster commissioning, lower total cost of ownership, and deterministic, real-time inspection performance on the factory floor.

No PC. No cloud. No compromise.

Smart 2D Vision-At the Edge

Gocator 2D Smart Cameras integrate the camera, processor, and vision software into one IP67-rated industrial unit, eliminating the complexity and maintenance overhead associated with traditional PC-based vision systems. Available in 5 MP and 12 MP global-shutter models, Gocator 2D Smart Cameras capture low-noise images at up to 84 frames per second with sub-10 ms latency, supporting high-speed production environments.

On-device AI and rule-based vision tools run side-by-side, enabling a wide range of inspection tasks-including defect detection, measurement, OCR, barcode reading, color inspection, and traceability-executed directly on the camera. Native support for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, and MQTT enables seamless integration into modern automation and PLC environments.

Gocator 2D Smart Cameras leverage NVIDIA Jetson™ Orin NX edge processing to deliver the AI performance required for demanding industrial inspection applications while maintaining deterministic, real-time operation.

GoPxL: A Unified Vision Platform

At the core of the Gocator 2D Smart Camera is GoPxL, LMI’s unified vision software platform. Using a browser-based interface and drag-and-drop workflows, users can design, validate, and deploy inspections in hours rather than weeks-without writing code.

GoPxL supports live debugging, Replay-based validation, and the ability to combine AI-based tools with traditional vision algorithms within a single inspection pipeline. The platform is open and extensible, supporting Python scripting and advanced workflows for manufacturers and system integrators with specialized requirements.

One device. One platform. Production-ready.

Built for Practical Deployment and Long-Term Scale

Gocator 2D Smart Cameras are optimized for single-camera and small multi-station applications, where PC-based systems often introduce unnecessary cost, maintenance, and cybersecurity concerns. By delivering high-quality results directly on the device, the platform supports rapid deployment and repeatable rollout across lines and cells.

As inspection requirements grow, the same GoPxL platform provides a clear extensibility path-scaling inspection logic, AI models, and workflows across devices without abandoning existing work. For manufacturers already using Gocator® 3D Smart Sensors, Gocator 2D integrates seamlessly into the same ecosystem, sharing a common user interface, job files, and data model for unified 2D + 3D inspection.
