20 years of Embedded Vision Systems from Vision Components

Looking back at two decades of leadership in industrial image processing, Vision Components celebrates it’s 20th anniversary this year. The company was founded in 1996 by Michael Engel, whose pioneering invention of the first industrial Smart Camera VC11 heralded the embedded era in image processing. Whether it's the perfect cut of fish fillets, precise automated "bin picking" or reliable license plate recognition – the VC experts develop customized components for embedded vision solutions in a great variety of industries, and advises customers how to seize the full potential for their application.

Over the years, the industry pioneers have time and again succeeded in developing innovative hardware as well as software products. The freely programmable OEM cameras capture new fields of application for embedded systems – only recently demonstrated with the Z-series, based on the Xilinx Zynq SoC module and features intelligent FPGA programming with huge performance gains.
