In the first decade, the company focused on system integration projects in different fields of machine vision. Some examples from that decade show the progress of used technologies and the ideas behind them:

​

• Quality system to check the canule tip, realized with 2 cameras and telecentric lenses.
   

• The "crazy" robot shaver: A robot able to identify the face of a human in 3D and to shave specific positions on the face of a man: automatically. Used to improve the latest improvement in the design of electrical shavers. Realization: A linear unit, a 6-axis robot, the robot hand and the cameras were managed by a specific language for vision applications and robot control.
   

• Control of a robot to mount the tie rod of a car automatically through a 3D vision system.
   

• Vision System to help a robot in the mounting of an electronic oszillator.

1994 - 2004

More than 10 years we focus on embedded computers and smart cameras based on a real-time operating system and processors from Texas Instruments.Windows / Linux OS in combination with x86 embedded processors are additional new products since 5 years.

2004 - present

History is one part but the future is much more exciting. Machine Vision Computing means to invent latest technologies to be an integral part of the machine.So in the near future we'll help to find answers to these questions:
 

• Reliable transmission of high-speed data coming from new fast and high resolution cameras. We will serve the related camera interfaces.
   

• More computing power due to the fact that camera data are increasing dramatically and algorithms are becoming more clever and complex. IMAGO invents new architectures using the latest innovations from repute processor vendors.
   

• More computing power able to be installed inside or near the machine to create a local intelligent system for the vision application.
   

• More and new interfaces in the field of communication between sensors, machine units and the world of IT.
   

• Machine Vision is a key technology of Industry 4.0. What does it means? How can data extracted from images be abstracted to provide information for the industry 4.0 strategy?
   

• The necessity to reduce the overall power consumption of production machines to save energy – one part are the vision computer and peripheral components.
   

• Abstraction of more complex firmware and software to allow a faster productive development of applications.
