IDS showcases 2D, 3D and AI-based vision systems at SPS 2024

(See IDS Imaging Development Systems at MachineBuilding.Live, 2 October 2024, on stand 90)

IDS will be taking part at SPS for the first time, focusing on industrial image processing for robotics, process automation and networked systems. Philipp Ohl, Head of Product Management at IDS, explains: "Automation and cameras go together like a lock and key. Depending on the task, very different qualities are required - such as particularly high-resolution images, remarkably fast cameras or models with integrated intelligence."

Consequently, the products and demo systems that the company will be showcasing at SPS are highly diverse.

The highlights of IDS can be divided into three categories: 2D, 3D and AI-based image processing. The company will be presenting uEye Live, a newly developed product line. These industrial-grade monitoring cameras enable live streaming and are designed for the continuous monitoring and documentation of processes. IDS will also be introducing a new event-based sensor that is recommended for motion analyses or high-speed counting. It enables the efficient detection of rapid changes through continuous pixel-by-pixel detection instead of the usual sequential image-by-image analysis.

In the 3D cameras product segment, IDS will be demonstrating the advantages of the new stereo vision camera Ensenso B for precise close-range picking tasks as well as a prototype of the first time-of-flight camera developed entirely in-house. Anyone interested in robust character recognition will also find what they are looking for at the trade fair stand: Thanks to DENKnet OCR, texts and symbols on surfaces can be reliably identified and processed. IDS will be exhibiting at SPS, stand 6-360.
