Zira Relay turns every camera detection into a physical signal your equipment can act on. A defect is flagged — and a reject gate fires. A hand enters the safety zone — and a machine stops. No PLC integration. No custom code.
AI vision finds the defect in milliseconds. But if that signal lives only inside a dashboard, the line keeps running, the bad unit moves downstream, and nothing changes.
Relay closes the loop. The camera detects an event — and a contact closes on real equipment. A reject gate. A conveyor stop. A robot trigger. A PLC input. The action happens before the next unit moves.
Most vision systems stop at detection. Zira connects the camera directly to the operation.
The Zira Relay kit ships ready-to-install. Mount the relay near the machine, plug the bridge into power and network, and pair it with any Zira camera. Live in under an hour.
Eight isolated relay channels. Each can be mapped to any Zira detection. Wires straight into PLC inputs, machine control circuits, alarms, reject gates, conveyors, lights, or robots.
The brain of the kit. Translates AI detections from up to 6 Zira cameras into precisely-timed contact closures on the relay board. Powers the relay board off a single 24V feed.
Configure detection-to-relay mapping in the Zira platform. Set thresholds, debounce timing, pulse duration, and escalation chains — all without touching machine code or PLC programs.
AI vision detects the event — defect, missing part, safety condition, presence, machine state.
Zira platform evaluates the detection against the configured rule — threshold, debounce, pulse duration.
The mapped channel fires. Dry contact closes for the configured duration — pulse, hold, or strobe pattern.
PLC, robot, machine, conveyor, reject gate, alarm, or stack light receives the signal and executes.
Map any Zira detection to any relay channel. Wire the channel to any input on any piece of equipment. Common configurations on the floor today:
Camera flags a defect at the inspection point. Relay closes a contact on the PLC input controlling the reject gate. The bad unit is diverted before stretch wrap — no operator intervention required.
Camera detects a hand inside the safety envelope of a bandsaw or press. Relay opens the machine's run-permissive circuit. The machine stops, alarm activates, supervisor is notified physically — not by ticket.
Camera identifies the correct part, pallet, or board in position. Relay sends the start signal to a cobot or pick-and-place arm. Vision-conditional robotics without writing a single line of vendor code.
Camera detects misaligned, blocked, or absent product. Relay closes a contact on the conveyor's E-stop circuit, pauses the line, and triggers an alarm. Throughput recovers before product piles up.
Relay is an extension, not a separate platform. If you already have Zira on the line, the kit pairs in software and ships within a week.
Relay board and bridge mount to DIN rail in any control panel. Single 24V feed powers both. Wire from the relay terminals to the target input on your PLC, machine, or stack light.
Each channel is a simple dry-contact closure — wire it the same way you'd wire any sensor, limit switch, or pushbutton. Your controls team uses it within their existing machine logic.
In the Zira console, assign a camera detection to a relay channel. Set pulse duration, debounce, and trigger logic. The system is firing contacts within minutes of the bridge coming online.
