Basler acquires 76% of Indian image processor
Basler, supplier of image processing components for computer vision solutions, has acquired 76% of the Indian sales partner Alpha TechSys Automation.
Automated thermal imaging cameras are often suitable for quality control applications where temperature plays a role. However, while there are various solutions on the market for slow processes, it is challenging to select a camera that reliably detects every defective product in a high-speed application in an automated production plant.

Reliable temperature measurement is a prerequisite for the success of many industrial processes. Berlin-based manufacturer Optris presents the Xi 640 infrared camera, a new member of its Compact Line, which enables non-contact temperature measurement in VGA resolution for mechanical engineering and the supplier industry.
Aconity3D has set itself the goal of optimizing the stability of the manufacturing method of powder bed-based laser melting and thereby promoting its use in a wide range of industries. By using high-speed industrial cameras from SVS-Vistek, the company has come one step closer to this goal.

safeVisionary2 is the first 3D time-of-flight camera with Performance Level c safety certification. It enables safe three-dimensional environmental detection and has been nominated in the 2024 Product of the Year competition in the handling, assembly and production logistics category.
The seamless integration of AI into the consumer sector has helped to improve our quality of life and make interactions with technology more efficient. In industry, AI vision with machine learning opens up new possibilities that are not covered by rule-based image processing. Nevertheless, we are still a long way from widespread industrial use of AI methods. Is a rethink necessary?
New AOI system at Axxeron Hesch
With the Verispector from Marantz electronics, Axxeron Hesch electronics is investing in Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) of THT (manually) assembled PCBs in its production facility in Neustadt. The major advantage of AOI is that defects can be detected early on the PCBs before they are fed through the solder wave.
Image processing expertise bundled under one roof: Matrix Vision and Balluff combine their expertise in the field of image processing and further expand their service portfolio.

The factory of the future is highly automated and digitalized. Cooperation between humans and robots plays a key role in the automation of production. Safety in particular is an issue that poses technical and ethical challenges. The Fraunhofer IFF is contributing to safe human-robot collaboration with its research.
Rauscher Bildverarbeitung is now adding 3D cameras from Photoneo to its image processing portfolio.
