1 Introduction
1.1 Application Examples
The Arduino® Nicla Vision houses the computational power, camera, IMU you need to quickly developed
machine vision solutions at the edge together with two wireless technologies. The board can act as a field-ready
standalone board, or can be argumented with external peripherals through the I/O available on the chip. Ultra low
power consumption and integrated battery management allows for deployment in various capabilities. WebBLE
allows for easy OTA update to the firmware as well as remote monitoring.
Warehouse & Automated Inventory Management: The Arduino Nicla Vision is capable of detecting
packages as they come near its vicinity and wake up. These provides the benefits of a always-on camera, but
with less power consumption. It can take pictures, predict volume/weight and also analyse for possible defects.
Additionally, QR codes on the package can be tracked for automated pursuit of the package and relay of
information to the cloud.
Real-time process management: The Arduino Nicla Vision is equipped for Automated Optical Inspection
(AOI) even in hard to reach and hazardous areas thanks to the small footprint and wireless connectivity
options. The fast Time-of-Flight sensor ensures that the image acquisition is performed in a repeatable
manner, with minimal modifications to the process. Additionally, the IMU can provide vibration analysis for
predictive maintenance.
Wireless Sensor Network Reference Design: The Nicla form factor has been specifically developed at
Arduino® as a standard for wireless sensor network which can be adapted by partners to develop custom-
designed industrial solutions. Researchers and educators can use this platform to work on an industrially-
recognized standard for wireless sensor research and development that can shorten the time from concept to
market.
