At Embedded Vision Summit 2025, Vision Components presents its new VC MIPI Bricks system of perfectly matching camera modules, accessories and services, right through to ready-to-use MIPI cameras and complete embedded vision systems.
Ettlingen, May 08, 2025. Vision Components presents its new VC MIPI Bricks system at the Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara, California, May 20 – May 22. VC MIPI Bricks is a modular system based on perfectly matching components and comprises camera modules, accessories and services, right through to ready-to-use MIPI cameras and complete embedded vision systems. A development kit from PHYTEC with NXP i.MX 8M Plus and i.MX 8M Mini processor is also part of the VC MIPI Bricks system.
At the Embedded Vision Summit, PerPlant will receive the AI Innovation Award for its Smart Farming Sensor, which was developed using VC MIPI Camera Modules. In the run-up to the event, VC also announces a 12 percent price reduction for its VC MIPI IMX900 Cameras.

From cameras to complete embedded vision systems
The VC MIPI Bricks system is perfectly matched to the more than 50 VC MIPI Cameras and the requirements of industrial projects. It includes FPC and coax cables for flexible connection as well as the various VC Power SoM FPGA accelerators for image pre-processing. On request, the cameras are also available ready-to-use, with optics, fully assembled and calibrated. VC also undertakes individual adaptations of the modules. For complete, customized embedded vision systems and development support from the initial idea through to integration, VC works with Notavis, part of the VC Group. Notavis specializes in the development of embedded vision systems.
Development kit for VC MIPI Cameras and i.MX 8M Plus / 8M Mini
Part of the VC MIPI Bricks system are the two PHYTEC phyBOARD for VC MIPI development kits with NXP i.MX 8M Plus and i.MX 8M Mini processor, which enable functional tests and direct start into development. They support all VC MIPI Cameras, including functions such as the processing of image data in the ISPs of the i.MX 8M Plus processor and edge and AI computing with the integrated NPU units. Both kits are available from PHYTEC and VC. The desired VC MIPI Camera can be freely selected.
Smart farming sensor with VC MIPI Cameras receives the AI Innovation Award
At the Embedded Vision Summit, PerPlant is honored with the AI Innovation Award in the Agriculture category for its PerPlant Insight Sensor, which was developed on the basis of an embedded vision system with VC MIPI Cameras. The smart farming sensor can be installed on any tractor within 30 minutes. It enables AI-based control of fertilization and pesticide application in real time and without an external computing unit.
Jan-Erik Schmitt, Vice President of Sales at Vision Components says:
“We are proud that this project was developed with cameras and support from Vision Components. The sensor opens up the benefits of smart farming to numerous users and contributes to environmental protection and greater sustainability. We wish PerPlant continued success with this outstanding project.”
Price reduction for VC MIPI IMX 900 and support in LibCamera
Vision Components is reducing the price of its latest camera module VC MIPI IMX900 by around 12 percent with immediate effect. The company is thus passing on to its customers the price optimization in purchasing and production made possible by the high demand.
Another new feature disclosed at the Robotics Summit is the support of the VC MIPI Camera Modules in the LibCamera open source library. This enables even easier commissioning of VC MIPI Cameras with all processor platforms. Vision Components also provides its own camera drivers with an extended range of functions as source code free of charge. As a result, VC MIPI Bricks ensures comprehensive compatibility of hardware and software and fast, simple and cost-effective integration.
