New features include support for 10GigE vision cameras including link aggregation for bundling multiple physical 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections to enable even higher image data rates. In addition, the Kithara real-time system allows the use of PLC2's PGC-1000 frame grabber card, which makes it possible to almost completely offload the CPU during image acquisition processes within machine vision applications.

"After the three-year hiatus of Vision, we are looking forward to finally being able to talk to our business partners in person again. The continued growth of the machine vision industry is also reflected in the demand from our customers. Despite the broad functional spectrum of Kithara RealTime Suite, machine vision always has a particularly high share in our new developments," explained Uwe Jesgarz, Managing Director of Kithara Software.
