All-in-One Solution for Identification, Validation, and Verification
Based on the highly flexible and award-winning original BOA camera, the BOA IDR is a complete vision system in a tiny smart camera package. Complete with embedded software and processing, it offers a core suite of tools and capabilities to automatically identify, validate and verify markings or features on parts, products or assemblies.
Easy to Set Up, Ready to Run
The preloaded IDR application can be quickly set up and deployed using a standard web browser interface. No software installation is necessary, except for the fully functional emulator that supports offline development and debugging.
The 4-step user interface is designed to guide first time vision adopters and offers advanced features, such as custom scripting, for experienced integrators.
ID Reader and Verification Tool
Based on the advanced BOA smart camera platform, BOA IDR allows manufacturers to combine 1D and 2D tracking with other inspection tasks, such as character reading (OCR) and feature verification, to ensure all product markings are correct when they leave the factory floor.
Our highly integrated solution provides defect detection and reject tracking for high speed applications in Automotive, Consumer, Electronics, Packaging and Pharmaceutical industries.
Supports: 
- Data Matrix, QR Code and PDF417. Square or rectangular size formats, Grading supported to AIM DPM, ISO 16022 and ISO 15415
- UPCa, UPCe, EAN8, EAN13, Code39, Code93, Code128, Codabar, BC412, ITF, Postnet, Planet, Pharmacode, RSS, GS1
- Trainable binary and grayscale OCR, dark or bright characters, fielding, multi-line, easy train, min/max char size and score
- Area or Edge based recognition, reports score, location and rotation, finds features for verification or alignment
Software Features
The IDR version of the BOA camera exposes the core tools required for Identification applications, and includes framework for factory integration, user administration, and data logging. BOA IDR software allows customers to combine 1D/2D validation with OCR and Pattern Matching to verify all product markings are accurate and readable.

Flexible Integration
BOA IDR provides standard industrial Ethernet protocols for integrating into the factory network, including support for popular PLCs such as Rockwell Automation and Siemens. BOA ensures that data is moved quickly and accurately with minimal integration effort.
In addition to Ethernet, BOA IDR provides serial RS-232 and discrete I/O connections, as well as expandable I/O options. A dedicated strobe output is further provided for direct light control.
BOA IDR is compatible with industry standard M12 cord sets to minimize hardware integration costs.
- 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides setup and monitor access, runtime control, and standard communication protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, Modbus/IP, and PROFINET IO
- Passive power over Ethernet
- Direct external light control
- Expansion I/O option
- Powered network switch option
BOA NEXUS Smart Bridge
A complementary device for BOA smart cameras, the BOA NEXUS Smart Bridge works with existing BOA camera systems to expand their information sharing and monitoring capabilities. The BOA NEXUS uses a standard monitor to conveniently display inspection images and application specific information from multiple BOA cameras, eliminating the need for an HMI. Featuring its own BOA NEXUS Navigator built-in software interface, support for iNspect Express and Sherlock software, and six Gigabit Ethernet ports, the BOA NEXUS is the perfect low-power companion to BOA smart camera systems.
Benefits
- Display interface eliminates need for expensive HMIs
- Convenient access for online setup and maintenance
- Supports isolated or bridged network configurations
- Simplifies camera network setup
- Manages access to cameras with dissimilar firmware versions
- Tracks user access and changes to camera solutions
- Supports results logging capability to CSV file
- Includes software emulator for offline solution editing
- DIN mountable hardware platform
- Provides storage for runtime image logging
