Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.

CAMERAS WITH EVENT-BASED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
A new sensor technology, inspired by nature and the human brain in particular, pursues precisely this approach. Instead of generating a flood of redundant image information, this technology concentrates exclusively on what is really changing. Result: High-precision movement information with a drastically reduced amount of data. This opens up completely new possibilities - especially in applications where speed and efficiency are important. The exact name of this groundbreaking revolution is "event-based vision sensor", or EVS for short.
