Macnica Europe at Vision 2026 with Live Machine Vision Demos

Use Case: Vision-guided robotic arm for real-time object detection, inspection and intelligent handling in industrial automation.

Technology: iENSO Mako CV75 camera, Ambarella N1-655 edge AI platform, Sony sensor, supported by Macnica system architecture and Estigiti design engineering services.

Demo: A working robotic arm integrates iENSO’s Mako CV75m vision platform with Ambarella’s N1-655 Edge AI box in a real-time perception-to-action pipeline. Macnica brings together the partner technologies, with Estigiti handling design engineering, system integration, assembly and processing for real-time detection and responsive motion.

Use Case: Real-time object detection for industrial vision and edge AI applications operating across challenging and variable lighting conditions.

Technology: Sony IMX908 4K HDR image sensor with STARVIS 3 technology and Axelera AI Metis edge AI platform.

Demo: A live 4K video stream from the Sony IMX908 feeds Axelera AI’s Metis platform for real-time object detection, identifying people, laptops and backpacks on screen. HDR imaging preserves scene detail across challenging lighting, while Metis performs low-latency AI inference locally at the edge.

Use Case: Ultra-high-resolution imaging for industrial inspection and machine vision.

Technology: Sony IMX937 105 MP global shutter CMOS sensor with SLVS-EC interface.

Demo: The Sony IMX937 captures ultra-high-resolution monochrome images with global shutter technology, delivering sharp detail on moving subjects. The demo highlights fast, artifact-free imaging for demanding industrial inspection and machine vision applications.

Use Case: High-speed image capture and processing for industrial machine vision.

Technology: Sony IMX901 global shutter sensor, Macnica Luminous kit and SLVS-EC IP, with Lattice Avant FPGA.

Demo: A Sony IMX901 stream from Macnica’s Luminous kit is captured over Macnica SLVS-EC IP on a Lattice Avant FPGA and displayed via HDMI. The demo highlights high-performance, low-power capture, flexible lane and pixel configurations, and support from sensor selection through FPGA implementation.

Use Case: Reliable barcode reading and machine vision when light and distance constantly change

Technology: Sony IMX900-AMR sensor paired with Corning Varioptic C-C-39N0-A1-160 C-mount lens for fast AE and AF

Demo: A rotating plate with QR codes at different contrasts and heights demonstrates automatic exposure and focus adjustment. The Sony IMX900 adapts exposure on-the-fly as contrast changes, while the Corning lens refocuses instantly as working distance varies, helping keep codes clear and readable.
