It has integrated support for machine vision cameras like Basler and Lucid over GigE, supports interfacing with PLCs and HMIs via OPC or MQTT, enables enterprise device management through a DMZ, and comes with the support of our team of computer vision experts to ensure your project is a success.\n\n---\n\n## © license\n\nThe core of Inference is licensed under Apache 2.0.\n\nModels are subject to licensing which respects the underlying architecture.
