Machine vision for automated instrument readout

The capture of measurement data from instrument displays without manual input and Internet dependency

Machine vision background

Automate test and measurement processes

Title (H3)

Designed for metrology, testing, and industrial environments, our machine device module "reads" digital readings from measuring instrument displays (for instance, multimeters, oscilloscopes, analyzers) and transmits the data to the required IT platform.

You can use the solution as a part of TestPatron Automation Studio or a fully standalone product, independent of any platform.

How the machine vision module works

Turn visual readings into structured digital data

Connect the module to your test and measurement equipment. Machine vision "reads" the display and turns it into digital data, removing manual input completely.

Vision module workflow

Get maximum value when:

The instrument doesn't support digital communication interfaces.

The instrument doesn't have the ability to transmit data directly to the system.

Specialists have to read and record readings manually.

How it works:

Recognizes digital readings from instrument displays.

Converts images into structured digital data.

Transfers data via open API directly into external or your system for further processing.

Operates fully offline, without cloud services or internet access.

As a result, you:

Minimize manual work and data entry errors.

Connect instruments without digital outputs.

Increase test accuracy and repeatability.

Key advantages

Easy integration

The module works via an open API and can be easily connected to:

  • TestPatron Automation Studio
  • Metrology and calibration management systems
  • Corporate IT platforms (ERP, MES, LIMS, custom systems)

You receive ready-to-use digital data, available for processing in any programming language.

Accessible hardware

No specialized or expensive scanners are required:

  • Standard high-resolution web cameras
  • Minimal infrastructure requirements

This significantly reduces deployment costs and simplifies scaling.

Adaptive and self-learning

The system can self-learn and adapt to support:

  • New instrument models
  • Non-standard displays
  • Changes in fonts, layouts, and instrument display formats

The solution remains up-to-date even as your measurement equipment fleet evolves.

Offline operation and security

  • Fully offline operation
  • No data transmission to the internet
  • All image processing and recognition performed locally
  • Available as a boxed solution

Perfectly fits organizations with strict information security requirements, regulated environments, and isolated networks.

Simple deployment

  • Native Windows application
  • One-click installation
  • No additional runtimes or complex dependencies

Easy distribution, maintenance, and updates across engineering teams.
