# About Cognex VisionPro Deep Learning™

Cognex® VisionPro Deep Learning software provides a collection of machine vision tools which tackle different hard-to-program challenges through the use of deep learning.

The Cognex VisionPro DeepLearning Studio uses 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 (Blue Read tool)

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

See the VisionPro Deep Learning documentation for complete information about integration with Cognex Designer.

Note: For Designer users that require the use of both the VPDL plugin and VisionPro EL Tools, a supplemental installer for VisionPro will be required in order to avoid project conflicts. See the VisionPro documentation for further details.
