Flexible Workflow Distribution for Enterprise Operations
Streamline workflow distribution with portable packages tailored to each deployment. Teams can choose which elements and dependencies are included, making it easier to transfer workflows across environments with different hardware, tooling, and system requirements while maintaining standardized processes.
On-Demand Product Support with LUX AI Knowledge Base
Available to all LightGuide customers, LUX is an AI-powered self-service assistant that gives users a faster way to find answers, understand platform capabilities, and apply advanced features with greater confidence. Accessible through the LightGuide Toolbox and built on LightGuide’s updated knowledge base, LUX expands access to product and operational expertise through source-based guidance for authoring, system configuration, servicing, and other platform tasks.
Multilingual Localization for Global Enterprises
LightGuide’s user interface can now support multiple languages, giving multinational organizations the ability to localize the platform experience across global deployments. Mandarin is the first fully localized interface available, built on a new localization architecture that can support other languages.
Advanced Calibration for 3D-Guided Applications
3D calibration is now available, expanding support for vision-enabled guidance, verification, and inspection applications that require depth awareness. Improved validation and diagnostics provide immediate feedback on calibration accuracy and clearer guidance for correcting alignment, helping teams deploy advanced applications more efficiently while maintaining consistent visual integrity across workstations.
Monitor Vision System Health in Real Time
Expanded camera and Observatory monitoring in the Health Status Dashboard gives teams greater visibility into vision system health and performance. Real-time insight into camera status, frame rates, vision program activity, and other system health indicators help teams maintain reliable performance.
Expanded Camera Support for High-Performance Machine Vision
LightGuide 26.2 enhances machine vision capabilities with added support for more than 100 Lucid camera models, expanding hardware options for high-performance vision across demanding industrial environments. The expanded portfolio includes monochrome, color, and UV cameras with resolutions up to 47 megapixels, giving teams greater flexibility to select the right camera technology for their application and deployment environment.
- Industrial reliability: Ethernet-based connectivity supports long cable runs and multi-camera configurations with stable performance across large production environments.
- Detailed visual records: Capture high-resolution images to strengthen verification, traceability, and record-keeping.
- Responsive vision performance: Faster connections and higher frame rates support smoother tracking and more responsive verification.
Simplified System Management and Maintenance
LightGuide 26.2 introduces a series of user-driven enhancements designed to make the platform faster and easier to navigate, monitor, and maintain. Improved variable management, centralized system maintenance, and new authoring capabilities reduce friction across everyday workflows and help users work more efficiently.
- Efficient variables management: Live mode makes it easier to search, filter, sort, pin, lock, unlock, and monitor frequently used variables, while Health Status Dashboard warnings provide visibility into excessive variable counts that could impact performance.
- Simplified system maintenance: Sonar now centralizes tools for managing unused variables, media, files, logs, and backups, simplifying ongoing maintenance and helping systems operate more efficiently over time.
- Streamlined authoring: Refreshed keyboard shortcuts and new right-click insert options in code view reduce unnecessary steps and make common authoring actions faster.
