IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH

High-tech – Future-oriented and eco-friendly

IDS Imaging Development Systems’ new building was finished end-2008 and does not only offer a great view on the surrounding vineyards of Obersulm. As is the case with IDS products, the real value is in the details: being powered by geothermal and solar energy while offering highly efficient heating and ventilation technology, the building allows for carbon neutral operation. Inside the representative building with generously designed and modern office, production, and logistics environments we completely develop and produce machine vision components. From here, the products are also shipped world wide. Thus, we can guarantee short communications paths, quick reaction and constantly high quality.

More than 90,000 frame grabbers and some 10,000 cameras sold and integrated world wide proof that our business concept is highly competitive. Our products cater not only to industrial vision applications such as automation and quality assurance, but also to new markets, such as security technology and non-industrial segments.

The IDS GmbH looks back on 12 successful years of company history. In 1997, it was found as a two-men-enterprise by Armin Vogt and Jürgen Hartmann. The goal was—and still is—to develop professional imaging components which offer an excellent price-performance-ratio and are easy to use. Today, the company has more than 70 employees and is internationally established with a subsidiary in the USA and sales partners in almost all European and Asian countries. About half of IDS’ employees have a degree in engineering and work in the R&D department or in the Application Engineering team which consults customers before and after purchase.

The two business divisions of IDS

Digital Image Processing Digital Video Surveillance

Components for digital image processing for industry, diagnostics and safety systems
Along with marketing IDS’s own Frame Grabbers and uEye  cameras, this division is also distributor for third-party products for the german speaking area. As an authorised distribution partner for Toshiba-TELI, as well as PENTAX, TAMRON and MVTec’s image processing software HALCON and ActivVision tools,, we are able to offer our customers all necessary components for image processing.

Modular DVR Kits based on our iGuard® video surveillance solution
The development of a video surveillance software was started in 1999 on the basis of our Frame Grabber hardware. The idea was (and is) to provide customers with all necessary components in order to be able to create a high-performance video recorder for safety systems from a standard Windows PC. iGuard® has developed into a modular system over the years. In its current version, iGuard® supports analogue and IP-cameras and offers interfaces that allow integration among other things in facility management systems (Active-X technology) or browser-based solutions (Web technology).

More than components

Along with its specific product portfolio, this division also offers a special service: With the help of sample images from our customers, our Support analyses the feasibility of image processing. IDS is also a certified training center for HALCON and ActivVision Tools.

High quality products and extensive service - That's IDS.
