IDS: Above-average sales growth in the first half of the year

IDS exceeded industry expectations in the first half of 2021. Instead of the 7 percent increase in sales forecast for the machine vision industry by the VDMA, the company has so far more than doubled its growth.

The camera manufacturer from Obersulm expects consistently high growth until the end of 2021. The positive order situation and the strong development of international business give every reason to do so, despite the generally difficult procurement situation. The increase in sales compared to the same period of the previous year 2020 was particularly strong in North America.

The company bases its growth forecast for 2021 primarily on the new IDS NXT cameras with artificial intelligence, as well as on the high demand in the 3D segment. New products, such as the industrial-grade Ensenso S, will explicitly complement the IDS product range in these areas. With new sensors and a new, compact C-mount housing camera, IDS is also expanding the uEye portfolio - especially in the low-cost area for particularly price-sensitive and high-volume applications. On the software side, the new SDK IDS peak promises real added value for both uEye and uEye + users with many modern programming interfaces and new convenience functions.

With the online platform visionbay, IDS has also now opened a virtual marketplace for image processing with AI. There, users can access the know-how of experts in the field of artificial intelligence, get access to complete image processing solutions and thus save valuable development time.
