Customised camera solutions for unique industrial requirements

Area scan cameras

Discover how IDS develops customised camera solutions tailored to your specific application needs. This video explains the entire process – from initial concept to serial production – and shows how IDS ensures efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness throughout.

You’ll learn why standard products are not always enough, what options exist for mechanical, electronic, and software customisation, and how IDS guarantees long-term availability and planning security. With insights into rapid prototyping, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing, and modular production, this session demonstrates why IDS is the ideal partner for individual requirements.

Topics covered

  • Why customised camera solutions are essential for special requirements
  • Overview of IDS customisation options: mechanics, electronics, software, firmware
  • Step-by-step project workflow from concept to production
  • How IDS ensures cost-efficiency, planning security, and quality assurance
  • Benefits of in-house resources like EMC lab, SMD (Surface-Mount Device) line, and 3D printing
  • Long-term support and change management for customised products
