Innovative Industrial Cameras for Robotics and Process Automation to Take Center Stage at Stand 6-36

Industrial cameras are indispensable for automation – whether with 2D, 3D or AI

Detecting the smallest errors, increasing throughput rates, preventing wear – industrial cameras provide important information for automated processes. IDS will be demonstrating which technologies and products are particularly relevant at SPS / Smart Production Solutions in Nuremberg, Germany, from 12 to 14 November. If you want to experience how small cameras can achieve big things, stand 6-360 is the right place to visit.

IDS presents a wide range of applications, from visualisation to picking and OCR

Around 1,200 companies will be represented in a total of 16 exhibition halls at the trade fair for smart and digital automation. IDS will be taking part for the first time, focussing on industrial image processing for robotics, process automation and networked systems. Philipp Ohl, Head of Product Management at IDS, explains: „Automation and cameras? They 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.

With over 25 years of experience, IDS is one of the key players in the image processing market

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.

At the last Robotics Meetup Nuremberg, significant updates about the humanoid robot pib were announced: a new version is set to be released in August. 


Changes from Last Year’s Version: 

• Stylish Design: The upper body has been redesigned to be more stylish, with hidden screws and motors, and no loose cables. 

• Easier Assembly: The new version offers simpler assembly. 

• Enhanced Motors: The shoulders are now equipped with stronger motors.

• Improved Imitation Feature: Previously, pib could only follow horizontal  movements. The updated version can also follow vertical movements.

• Upgraded Electronics: The electronics have been upgraded to a Raspberry  Pi 5. 

• Dockerization: pib is now dockerized, allowing installation on various  software systems. This was a community effort, especially during the last  hackathon. 

• Digital Twin: A digital twin has been developed, enabling simulations and  machine learning. 

Continuity and Compatibility 

Not everything has changed. The camera and display remain the same, and efforts  have been made to maintain compatibility with the previous version. Updated tutorials  are being prepared to ensure easy assembly. 

The meetup also featured a guest speaker from EduArt Robotik, who introduced EduArt, the robot. After the presentations and discussions, everyone enjoyed pizza and drinks while networking with fellow robotics enthusiasts.
