What is recipe portability?
Recipe portability allows users to export recipes created on one EYE+ smart control system and import them onto another, located anywhere, as long as they are using the same size of Asycube flexible feeder. By automatically adjusting for differences in camera positioning, such as working distance or centering, it will be able to adapt the size of the picture to recognize the parts. The result is a gain of deployement efficiency between similar systems with minimal manual adjustements required.
Why recipe portability matters?
This feature opens up new possibilities for manufacturers and operators seeking greater flexibility and efficiency across production lines. Now, recipes can be effortlessly transferred between similar setups, simplifying the process of duplicating or scaling production. Some common applications include:
- Replicating production lines or machines: Save valuable commissioning time by reusing recipes created on the original setup.
- Maximizing flexibility: Easily switch recipes between EYE+ smart control systems on machines with multiple Asycube flexible feeding systems.
- Increasing production: Load the same recipes on different Asycube flexible feeders working in parallel in the machine to reach higher cycle times.
How does it work?
The portability feature is powered by the camera calibration, which calculates essential parameters like pixel/millimeter scale and defines regions of interest (ROI) within the EYE+ smart control system. During the recipe import process, EYE+ automatically adapts key settings to ensure optimal performance on the target system, such as:
- Part size range
- Region of interest (ROI) settings
- Pick point and angle models
- Picking conditions

And if it was only the first step?
What if EYE+ Recipe Portability is just the beginning? Imagine the efficiency boost if you could create and fine-tune your recipes offline, then deploy them directly to your production systems when needed. This would allow you to optimize and test recipes in a controlled environment—without disrupting production—saving even more time and resources. Guide the future of EYE+ and let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback on including this in a future version.
