How industrial cameras contribute to future-proof solutions

Automation is advancing steadily - whether in the industrial sector, such as classic equipment, plant and mechanical engineering, or non-industrial sectors, such as medical technology, logistics or agriculture. Industrial cameras from IDS play an indispensable role in this process. As an integral part of many automation solutions, they open up new ways to ensure greater sustainability.

Used in quality assurance or inspection, they reduce scrap and avoid complaints, returns or repairs. In robotics and automation, cameras enable collaborative work and support employees in physically difficult or monotonous tasks. At the same time, machine vision systems can help reduce energy consumption in manufacturing. By permanently monitoring processes, they help to identify and optimize bottlenecks or inefficient processes. In agriculture and the food industry, cameras support the optimal application of fertilizers, the observation of plants in the growth phase or quality control in the processing of food.

Optimize logistics, avoid complaints

Due to the industry standard 4.0, digitization, automation and networking of systems and facilities are becoming the predominant topics in production and thus also in logistics. What is needed is the optimization of processes and workflows for the benefit of productivity and flexibility. To minimize returns and complaints, the internal traceability of goods in the warehouse or production facility plays a key role; robotic systems with intelligent imaging processes have become the driving force for this.
