Firms unveil scalable GigE vision products

Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 11/1/2005

Netherlands-based Quest Innovations has announced that it has signed an OEM licensing agreement with Pleora Technologies for Pleora's iPORT PT1000-VB In-Camera IP Engine. The agreement allows Quest to develop scalable processing units and smart cameras with Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interfaces.

"Through this agreement, we are incorporating GigE interfaces into our scalable machine-vision processing hardware," said Richard Meester, president and CEO of Quest Innovations, in a prepared statement. "We will release our first GigE camera with processing capabilities in November at the machine-vision show in Stuttgart [Vision 2005, November 8–10]. We'll also launch a new high-precision—10 micron—laser-scanning system based on our Raptor camera that reduces object scanning times dramatically compared to current systems on the market." www.quest-machinevision.com; www.pleora.com.
