# About the Cognex ViDi Suite of Tools

The Cognex ViDi Suite uses deep learning to accomplish tasks not previously possible using traditional machine vision software libraries.

The Cognex ViDi Suite tools share a common engine, but each tool has a distinct focus:

- Localization (Blue Locate tool)
- Cosmetic inspection (Red Analyze tool),
- Classification (Green Classify tool)
- Hard-to-read OCR (Purple Read tool)

By using the ViDi plug-in, you enable deep learning integration capabilities with Cognex Designer.

See the ViDi documentation for complete information about the ViDi and Cognex Designer integration.
