Start by assembling the mounting frame and preparing the physical setup.

2. Complete Getting Started

Connect the sensor, open SICK Nova and verify that the Vision Starter Kit works correctly.

3. Run the first demo

Use the Vision Starter Project to learn the basic workflow of image acquisition, classification and anomaly detection.

4. Explore example projects

Continue with guided, challenge or showcase projects to apply the learned concepts.


Nova Tutorials

The following video introduces SICK Nova and shows how to work with typical machine vision tools.

How to use this video

Watch the tutorial while having the Vision Starter Kit and SICK Nova open.
Try to reproduce the steps directly in your own setup.


Practice-Oriented Learning

The best way to learn the Vision Starter Kit is to work through example projects.

Start with a guided project and then continue with challenge or advanced projects.

Recommended order:

  1. Vision Starter Project
