IDS Imaging Development Systems is expanding its USB3 Vision camera range by more than 100 models. The company is integrating the entire range of Sony sensors in several camera families, which it currently already offers with a GigE Vision interface. With IDS peak, it also provides a new SDK for application development for vision cameras. IDS peak is entirely based on the standards of EMVA (GenICam) and AIA (GigE Vision, USB3 Vision) and simplifies handling and programming of these cameras.

Flir Systems has launched the Flir T860 thermal imaging camera, the latest addition to the high-performance T-Series family. This camera is the first to feature onboard Inspection Route software, which is useful for streamlining inspections of critical assets, including manufacturing equipment, electrical and mechanical systems, power substation components and distribution lines. By running a pre-planned route through the camera, thermal inspectors can spend less time in the field and face less hassle when creating survey reports.
