Silicon Software
Back to Manufacturers

Silicon Software produces off-the-shelf and customized OEM hardware and software solutions offering a comprehensive portfolio of frame grabbers for Machine Vision - six digital interface standards, internal and external image acquisition and image processing devices.

Silicon Software framegrabbers feature FPGA's for accelerated image processing for industrial automation, robotics and machine vision. They have been a globally-recognized technology leader since 1990 in the development of image processing boards and software tools to ease FPGA programming.

Silicon Software's award-winning VisualApplets software enables graphic programming of their FPGA vision processors using a flowchart type GUI that allows vision application engineers and software programmers to implement demanding, real time and time-sensitive applications on FPGA hardware within minutes.
