Our AI Vision Software
All the tools for your AI-supported image processing solution
With our AI vision software, you can implement image processing solutions with AI without any programming effort. Use IDS lighthouse for the complete development of your applications, IDS NXT cockpit for easy configuration and management of your AI cameras, and vision apps for flexible image processing tasks directly on the camera.
IDS lighthouse: the cloud-based AI vision studio
With the AI Vision Studio IDS lighthouse, image processing arises in the cloud. Easy-to-use tools cover the entire development workflow from first image to the final application - without the need for special prior knowledge in deep learning, image processing or application programming.
Immediately ready for use
Call up the web application, log in - and you can start training a neural network right away. Instead of first having to set up an individual development environment, users of IDS lighthouse have immediate access to all functions as well as the required infrastructure.
Particularly secure
Customer and application data is stored in strictly secured data centers in compliance with the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
A perfect match
Users decide for themselves how fast or exactly the inference should be on their IDS NXT camera. IDS lighthouse then optimises the training settings, taking into account the AI core performance of the camera.
Easy app development
With the block-based editor and the use case assistant, individual image processing sequences with machine learning methods, such as detection or classification of objects, can be created even without programming knowledge. As Vision Apps, these processes are then directly executable as on IDS NXT devices.
Sufficient performance
As a cloud service, IDS lighthouse uses the data centre and network architecture of Microsoft Azure. IDS customers therefore benefit from sufficient performance and server space to store all customer data and training projects and execute neural network training processes efficiently and quickly.
Always up-to-date
As Software as a Service (SaaS), IDS lighthouse always stays up to date. We continuously care for maintenance, servicing and further development of the AI training platform. Users benefit from free function updates.

IDS NXT cockpit: Configure and set up AI cameras
The IDS NXT cockpit provides access to all important settings and functions of the IDS NXT AI cameras. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to install and configure vision apps and conveniently set up camera applications for runtime operation.
Vision apps: one camera, countless possibilities
With Vision Apps, image processing tasks on IDS NXT cameras can be used as flexibly and easily as smartphone apps. Users decide for themselves which tasks their camera performs - from simple barcode recognition to complex AI analyses. A camera can perform several tasks simultaneously and also combine classic image processing with AI analyses.
