Information

This 3D smart camera from ifm electronic designed for mobile applications is the first 3D sensor system with integrated additional 2D camera. The overlay function allows to show obstacles and display warnings, symbols and even complex drawings in real time. The signal processing in the sensor makes an external process unit unnecessary. The ifm Vision Assistant allows user-specific parameter setting in just a few steps. Augmented reality - now in real 3D All text messages and graphic elements are either triggered by the integrated driver assistance system or by the machine controller via CAN. Thus, the user can always see all relevant warnings or other relevant details in the clearly structured camera image. Integrated assistance system In addition to the 3D and 2D image sensor a complete evaluation system is integrated in the housing. This system also provides an independent assistance system for collision avoidance for the user. Set-up only requires just a few steps using the Vision Assistant PC software. In addition to the analogue video output the smart camera also features a CAN and Ethernet UDP interface. The system can use this interface to supply warnings in critical situations autonomously. This trendsetting technology allows a completely new and quick perception.
IFM ELECTRONICE28In a world of constantly growing international trade volumes and cargo traffic, containerized goods are getting a more and more higher share of the same. Meanwhile a lot of container terminals have become logistic high-tech centers with an increasing demand for end-to-end efficiency by the introduction of process automation. With more than 45 years of experience in sensor and control systems, ifm electronic has developed products with robust housings, weatherproof protection rating, high shock and vibration resistance, extended temperature ranges and a excellent EMC compatability in order to ensure maximum uptime of cranes, spreaders and vehicles like reachstackers, straddle carriers and even AGVs as well as terminal safety. In a ever changing world of automation technology, ifm electronic is listening carefully to the specific demand of it’s customers by an active membership of the PEMA (Port Equipment Manufacturer Association) and regular participation in the leading port exhibition TOC in Europe, Asia and Americas. Therefore the leading manufacturers of port equipment as well as the largest container terminals in the world rely on sensors and controllers made by ifm electronic.
