IDS presents monitoring, event-based and 3D iToF cameras

uEye Live: Streaming, monitoring and event recording

The highlight at the IDS booth is the new uEye Live Monitoring camera series, which has been specially developed for live streaming and continuous process monitoring. These compact industrial cameras work with state-of-the-art SoC components from IDS technology partner Ambarella, offer a particularly high resolution and enable event-based recording directly in the camera memory. They solve monitoring tasks entirely without an additional PC and are therefore recommended as an uncomplicated and quickly integrated camera solution for visualising machine processes without any programming effort.

uEye EVS: Less data, more speed, maximum precision

Event-based imaging is one of the most ground-breaking innovations in the field of machine vision since the advent of artificial intelligence. It enables the efficient optical detection of movements with almost seamless temporal resolution. IDS will be showcasing the new uEye EVS with the Sony Prophesee IMX636 event-based vision sensor at automatica. Unlike conventional industrial cameras, it only captures changes in the image - each individual pixel acts like a highly sensitive motion detector. This produces razor-sharp images of high-speed processes while minimising the data load.

uEye 3D: IDS' first Time-of-Flight 3D camera

The new, cost-effective uEye 3D iToF camera from IDS uses the 1.2 MP onsemi sensor and integrated depth processing to generate precise 3D data in real time. With a high frame rate and strong ambient light suppression, sharp images are created without motion blur - even with fast movements and direct sunlight outdoors.

"Our perfectly harmonised hardware and software solutions enable the particularly fast, flexible and efficient use of industrial image processing. With the new uEye Live Monitoring cameras, users can keep an eye on their processes at all times," says Alexander Klingner, Head of Product and Project Management at IDS. "These and other innovations that we are presenting at automatica are setting new standards for what is possible in automation. They open up new and exciting markets and applications for IDS and our customers."
