Cameras are now often more than just providers of images - they can recognize objects, generate results or trigger subsequent processes. IDS demonstrated the possibilities offered by modern camera technology at Vision.

The latest models in Teledyne Flir's Blackfly S GigE camera range are the BFS-U3-50S4M-C and BFS U3 50S4C C. These 5 MP models are suitable for integration into small portable devices and integration with compact, lower cost lenses thanks to their low weight of only 53 g and high pixel density.
Many companies in the field of industrial image processing still lack the expertise and time to familiarize themselves with the potential of artificial intelligence. The hardware for the efficient use of AI has long been available.

IDS Imaging Development Systems demonstrates the possibilities of modern camera technology with 2D, 3D and AI. For example, the IDS NXT embedded vision system with AI, which can be seamlessly integrated into Industry 4.0 systems.
The camera-based vision sensors of the VOS series from Pepperl+Fuchs can identify, measure, align and help position objects as well as read codes and recognize texts.

The EyeVision image processing software enables the user to perform simple and intuitive hand-eye calibration for robots and handling systems.
Camera-based systems can be used to reliably detect and mark defects in the painting of automotive parts. The in-line inspection increases productivity and reduces costs and complaints.
Automation offers numerous advantages, but at the same time places high demands on integrated image processing. As a result, machine vision solutions often fall short of expectations.

Interview with IDS Imaging Development Systems
Reliably consistent quality is not least a significant cost factor in modern production. So is the effort a company has to put into quality control. The same applies to the effort a company has to put into quality control. Daniel Schilling spoke to Heiko Seitz from IDS Imaging Development Systems about how vision systems can be used to achieve fast and reliable quality control, even in individualized production with small batch sizes.
