MVTec is one of STEMMER IMAGING’s main partners in the development of artificial vision software solutions. On the occasion of the release of HALCON 22.11, the newest version of MVTec’s comprehensive standard software for machine vision, we spoke to Chady Elahmad, Regional Sales Manager NW Europe, about machine vision developments such as deep learning or big data and our strong partnership.

The Ethernet based GigE Vision standard is still considered the most frequently used interface in machine vision. It offers a large variety of compatible standard network equipment and enables scaling the performance of the whole system over a wide range. This makes GigE Vision especially suitable for multi-camera systems.

The InPicker from our subsidiary INFAIMON has enabled SKF to increase production cycle time by 33%. The SKF Group is the world's largest manufacturer of bearings and seals for the automotive sector.

Many industries are currently facing major challenges resulting from the significant changes in the wake of digitalisation, automation and the sustainability movement. In addition, customers expect an ever-increasing degree of flexibility and individualisation. The change opens up great opportunities for manufacturers. However, it takes expertise to make the most of it with the right resources.

With the development of its SenSWIR sensors, Sony has laid a milestone for the future expansion of SWIR imaging: Thanks to the cutting-edge InGaAs sensor architecture, images in both the visible and invisible short-wave infrared light spectrum can be captured simultaneously for the first time. At the same time, the sensors set new standards in terms of pixel size and image homogeneity.

In Q1 2021, the revolutionary new Zivid Two 3D camera will be available from STEMMER IMAGING. The Zivid Two is a natural successor to the industry-leading Zivid One+ range of cameras.

JAI’s Sweep+ prism-based colour line scan cameras combine high colour fidelity with best in class resolution along with high-speed data transmission over long distances for a wide range of applications.

The Center of Device Development at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC has developed a fully automated check system for bearing balls that is unique in the world. The sophisticated quality inspection system is based on machine vision components from STEMMER IMAGING.

State of the art vision systems now offer greater flexibility than ever before: Be they single cameras, multiple cameras configurations, or cameras that are set up for 360o views of target objects either through rotation of the object or moving the camera by attaching it to a Cobot.
