AAEON released information that it is partnering with The Imaging Source, manufacturer of industrial cameras. AAEON’s BOXER-8645AI is compatible with The Imaging Source’s Acuva series of rugged, high-speed GMSL2 IP67 cameras. The companies will combine to build solutions for vision-enabled applications in robotics, agriculture, automotive, and other embedded and industrial vision systems.

The Imaging Source’s Acuva series combines Sony and onsemi CMOS sensors (2.3 MP – 20 MP) with frame rates up to 100 FPS for high-resolution, low-latency imaging. The series features IP67-rated housing, integrated M12 S-Mount lenses, and coaxial PoC cables with FAKRA connectors up to 15 meters for rugged and flexible deployments. Its 6 Gbps GMSL2 interface ensures high-speed, low-latency image transfer as well as The Imaging Source offering SDKs, drivers, and on-going support with a three-year warranty.

“Our collaboration with The Imaging Source will allow customers to expedite time to market while also benefiting from the longevity that the Acuva series offers for more rugged applications,” said Louis Wu, Product Manager at AAEON Technology. “By establishing compatibility with Acuva industrial GMSL2 cameras, our customers will see the benefit of shorter development cycles, simplified integration, and more reliable AI vision performance in the toughest environments.”
