Systems and methods to use generative AI for easy configuration of advanced features in MV/FIS cameras and associated job builder application

A method for controlling an imaging device comprising:

• receiving, at a trained machine learning model of a Machine Vision (MV) or Fixed Industrial Scanner (FIS) graphical user interface (GUI)-based computer application, a system instruction file;
• receiving, at the trained machine learning model of the MV or FIS GUI-based computer application, a current MV or FIS barcode scanning job configuration;
• receiving, by one or more processors, a prompt including a natural language query regarding the current MV or FIS barcode scanning job configuration;
• generating, by processing the prompt and the system instruction file and using the trained machine learning model, a new barcode scanning job configuration corresponding to the prompt and a response to the prompt;
• updating, by the one or more processors, the current MV or FIS barcode scanning job configuration based on the new barcode scanning job configuration;
• and causing, by the one or more processors, the response to the prompt to be displayed in a GUI of the MV or FIS GUI-based computer application;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, a barcode image from an imaging device;
• executing, by the one or more processors, the updated barcode scanning job to process the barcode image to generate result data;
• and validating, by the one or more processors and using the trained machine learning model the result data, that the result data is responsive to the new barcode scanning job configuration.
