Osaro SightWorks Osaro has released Osaro SightWorks, a machine-learning vision software for automated e-commerce tasks. Tis software enables robots to perform various tasks in e-commerce fulfilment stations, including picking, depalletising, induction, and kitting. Osaro says that implementing this software reduces the risk of injuries on the production line while increasing productivity. Te system is designed to recognise and
handle mixed cases and identify foreign objects on stacked boxes, such as box cutters or tape dispensers. If such items are detected, the system will stop and raise an alarm until they are removed. It also identifies damaged boxes that could potentially open if lifted. Osaro’s
Neon RD0033 Senseeker Engineering has announced the Neon RD0033, an advanced digital readout integrated circuit (DROIC) with low-noise performance, triple-gain modes, and a 10μm pitch pixel with a capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) front-end circuit. It was developed for low-light applications such as short-wave infrared (SWIR) and low-current detector technologies such as quantum dots-based detectors. It has been designed for use in high-operating temperature conditions. Te Neon RD0033, with 640 x 512 format
and a frame rate of 700fps, has triple-gain modes with programmable well capacities of 22ke-, 160ke- and 1.1Me-. Te chip boasts a very low read noise of 15 electrons at room temperature in high gain. Te RD0033 is a global shutter chip with both internal synchronous integration control modes and external asynchronous integration control and can be used for range-gating applications. It contains both on-chip and off-chip correlated
Speck Demo Kit SynSense has introduced the Speck Demo Kit, which allows users to deploy and validate event-based neuromorphic vision applications. Te kit incorporates SynSense’s ultra-low-power dynamic vision Speck module, along with a Bluetooth controller chip and commonly used peripherals. It serves as an embedded hardware platform, providing early access for users to test and prototype neuromorphic application models. Designed for both industrial and consumer
development, the Speck SoC (System-on-Chip) is a fully-integrated sensor and processor with a 128 x 128 dynamic vision sensor imaging array, enabling real-time low-power vision processing for mobile and IoT applications. It operates at ultra-low-power levels (<10mW) and offers

Sensors and detectors
OptoNCDT ILR1171-125 Micro-Epsilon has introduced the optoNCDT ILR1171-125, a non-contact laser distance sensor designed for transport, logistics, and monitoring applications. Tis sensor is suitable for measuring difficult surfaces such as dark, structured, or weakly reflecting objects, offering a range of up to 125m, extendable to 270m with the use of a reflector. It delivers accurate measurements even in poor visibility conditions caused by smoke, fog, steam, or rain. With resistance to ambient light up to 50,000 lux and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, it is suitable for outdoor use. Te optoNCDT ILR1171-125 measures 20-times faster than its predecessor, the firm says, thanks to a larger infrared laser measurement spot and a measuring rate of up to 40kHz. Te sensor supports static and dynamic measurements, easy integration into existing systems, and provides continuous measurement output through analogue or serial communication options.

Snappy Wide Teledyne e2v has launched Snappy Wide, an 8K wide aspect ratio CMOS image sensor designed for logistics and industrial applications. With its wide field of view coverage, a single Snappy Wide sensor can replace multiple sensors, the firm says, providing a cost-effective solution for applications involving large conveyor belts in smart factories and similar environments. Te sensor features a small 2.5µm global
real-time response (<200ms) for intelligent scene analysis. With a network capacity of 0.32 million neurons, Speck enables always-on IoT and edge-computing applications such as gesture recognition, face and object detection, tracking, and surveillance.

shutter pixel and Teledyne e2v’s latest light pipe technology, offering a dynamic range of 67dB in both 10-bit and 12-bit ADC mode. It delivers low read-out noise, essential for barcode reading, along with good modulation transfer function in all environments and low dark current for high-quality imaging even in low-light conditions. Te Snappy Wide sensor is available in 35, 28, and 16MP options, providing flexibility in horizontal and vertical resolutions. It eliminates wasted pixels compared to square format sensors, the firm says, optimising overall system cost. Additionally, the sensor can function as a high- throughput 1D linear scanner with a dual line scanning speed of 18,700fps.
