Since its foundation in 1997, IDS Imaging Development Systems has developed into a leading manufacturer of digital industrial cameras with USB and GigE interfaces. The combination of high quality “Made in Germany”, long-term availability and particularly easy handling makes IDS products unique. Our goal? We intent to offer our customers the best user experience in the vision market. Right from the start, our camera software is designed for Windows, Linux and Linux Embedded and provides an intuitive programming experience with an easy-to-understand programming interface. Users benefit from comprehensive software support to get our cameras up and running quickly and easily, which enables them to start developing their own applications in no time. For us, embedded vision represents a further development of industrial image processing. Our latest innovation is the all-in-one AI solution IDS NXT ocean, which allows users to create individual neural networks for vision tasks without any programming effort. Furthermore, they can be executed directly on industrial cameras. This makes it very easy to get started with AI-based image processing – and represents a new generation of embedded vision systems with unlimited possibilities for individual applications.
