In most cases, you won't have to do any coding, and you can have prototype software running in a few hours. But to properly apply machine-vision software, you must carefully analyze the inspection problems you need to solve. And the first steps have nothing to do with software. The best way to start is by meeting with all the people who need the information your inspection system will provide. Most often these people work in production and quality-control departments, but their needs for inspection information aren't always the same.
