Autonomously driving robotic assistance system for automated coil creel placement
Due to industry standard 4.0, digitalization, automation, and networking of systems and facilities are becoming the predominant topics in production and thus also in logistics. Industry 4.0 pursues the increasing optimization of processes and workflows in favor of productivity and flexibility and thus the saving of time and costs. Robotic systems have become the driving […]
Robot solution for automating the lettuce harvest
Lettuce is a valuable crop in Europe and the USA. But labor shortages make it difficult to harvest this valuable field vegetable, as sourcing sufficient seasonal labor to meet harvesting commitments is one of the sector’s biggest challenges. Moreover, with wage inflation rising faster than producer prices, margins are very tight. In England, agricultural technology […]
Further development of IDS NXT ocean: focus on user-friendliness and AI transparency
At IDS, image processing with artificial intelligence does not just mean that AI runs directly on cameras and users also have enormous design options through vision apps. Rather, with the IDS NXT ocean embedded vision platform, customers receive all the necessary, coordinated tools and workflows to realize their own AI vision applications without prior knowledge […]
From the smallest housed camera with C-mount over 10GigE to AI
From precise monitoring to picking and automation, there are countless applications that benefit from reliable image information. However, what can be done when there is only a tight budget for the realization of such an application? With the introduction of uEye XCP, uEye XLE, and Ensenso S, camera specialist IDS proves that industrial-grade image processing […]
IDS with above-average sales growth in the first half-year
The South German industrial camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH was able to exceed industry expectations in the first half of 2021. Instead of the 7% increase in turnover forecast by the VDMA for the machine vision industry, the company has so far generated more than double this growth. High order intake and interesting […]
New entry-level 3D camera
Introducing the Ensenso S. Camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems shows that the use of industrial-grade 3D technology does not have to be expensive. The 3D camera is particularly suitable for 3D applications that require budget-friendly, easy-to-integrate, and industrial-grade camera technology. The new Ensenso S10 has an ultra-compact, IP65/67-protected housing and generates 3D data using […]
Drive through control
Due to digitalization in Industry 4.0, internal logistics is subject to constant change. Internal traceability, i.e. the tracking of goods in the warehouse or production facility, is increasingly playing a key role. Manufacturers and consumers are placing more and more emphasis on the safety and quality of products. Costly and image-damaging complaints must therefore be […]
Focus event “Capture the Light” with image processing experts from IDS
For the successful implementation of image processing applications, it is not only important to choose the right camera and a suitable image sensor. In order to capture light without interference and convert it into usable information, suitable optics and high-quality filter glasses also play a decisive role. The focus event “Capture the Light” on June […]
