2019

Anyone who wants to develop machine vision applications today, can hardly avoid the generic interface GenICam of EMVA.

IDS will expand its USB3 Vision camera range by more than 100 models over the coming weeks - this means we integrate the entire range of Sony sensors which are already available with GigE Vision. The new cameras can be used with IDS peak, our brand-new, hardware-independent SDK.

With immediate effect, Kazushi Iwamuro expands our team in Asia. As Sales Director for Japan and Oceania, he will take care on the expansion of our market activities there. This is our response to the growing demand for IDS cameras in the strategically important market APAC.

The jury of the inspect award has made its preselection. Now it's your turn! With your vote, you decide which new product is really innovative and offers the greatest benefit for the user. Our IDS NXT rio & rome industrial cameras are listed in the "Vision" category.

According to the motto "The future of human-robot collaboration within the manufacturing industry" The Vision, Robotics & Motion wants to provide its visitors everything needed for a more reliable, safer, and faster production using automation and robotics.

The IDS NXT rio & rome models can replace other GigE Vision cameras without the need for special programming. With Smart GenICam and AI-supported image processing, they provide added value that standard cameras cannot provide.*

With the "Dynamic Vision App for HALCON" you can easily execute your image processing tasks developed with HALCON on an IDS NXT camera.

In the quality control of components in automotive body construction, the detection of errors in dimensional accuracy holds great potential for optimising the production process. The CAMEO image processing system developed by the French company Prodeo for the automotive industry reliably helps in this respect. It enables automated image capture, file management and storage, as well as real-time image processing and quality diagnosis.

As per usual, the release is downward compatible and additionally supports the upcoming new camera models UI-1007XS and UI-3040LE. For the uEye LE AF board level cameras, it enables the development from "Active Focus" functionality to software-based autofocus.

For the fifth time, the American trade magazine "Vision Systems Design" has presented the Innovators Award to products and solutions in the field of image processing.  Our vision app-based cameras IDS NXT rio & rome received "Silver" in the category "Embedded vision" and are thus considered one of the most innovative products in image processing.

Artificial intelligence for industrial image processing: At Control 2019, IDS is showing a 2D industrial camera that interprets image data "on the edge" using an artificial neural network (ANN). In hall 6, booth 6401, you can witness this AI-based object classification live.

The IDS Industrial Vision Days in mid-May are a great possibility to get in-depth information on our products and learn more about market trends such as artificial intelligence, deep learning and robot vision. With interesting lectures, product demonstrations and carefully chosen venues, we guarantee an exciting and instructive experience.

Benefit from the new "User Set Control" starting with IDS Vision Firmware 1.7 by saving and reloading optimally configured camera settings very easily.

Held once every two years in the United States, Automate is the broadest automation solutions event in North America, aiming to give you an overview of the automation industry. Visit the IDS Inc. team at booth 9528 and learn how our cameras and solutions help with your automation projects!

Thanks to its enormous sensitivity, low noise levels and high dynamic range, the 1.6 MP Global Shutter CMOS sensor excels in a wide range of applications. The integration in all our uEye camera families is therefore a logical next step.

The ground-breaking ceremony on February 25th marks the start of the largest expansion in the history of IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH. The innovation and technology centre "B39" will provide jobs for 200 employees. In addition, a staff restaurant and event rooms for lectures and conferences with up to 200 persons are planned.

The sales growth of IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH remained above average at around 20 % even in 2018. Sales rose particularly strongly with approx. 50 % in Asia, but we also recorded growth of about 20 % in the USA and Europe. "The investments in new branches are paying off," explains Jürgen Hartmann, company founder and owner. "We now generate more than 50 % of our sales abroad." IDS cameras with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 interfaces are among the bestsellers.

IDS NXT industrial cameras provide tremendous opportunities to realize individual image processing applications. Thanks to vision apps, the functionality of the devices can be altered at will. If you want to create your own apps with the Vision App Development Kit, useful app information can be found on our website.
