Communication is everything!

The best camera is not much use without efficient data transfer and a perfect integration into the environment. We know all about every significant interface. And we flexibly embrace new developments. One example is the relatively new industry-specific APIX standard which we use within the framework of our projects in the area of automotive applications.


Due to the standardization processes in the last years customers can combine hardware and software products of different manufacturers more flexible. GigE Vision allows to combine components in open systems with high data rates, economic accessories and long cables.

 

Application-specific interface selection

Today there is a relevant choice of interfaces with particular strengths, but there is no one "right" interface for everything. The interface is selected with regard to the specific application and assures the best possible overall system performance. Our customers are not simply making a technological choice with thier interface. It also plays a role in future direction and long-term viability of the solution, as well as the expenditure during the integration into the existing infrastructure. We provide comprehensive and competent consultancy!
