Each year, the Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards highlight technologies that help shape the future of vision applications. In addition, the jury includes specialists from established system integrators and leading end-user companies.
Linda Wilson, Editor-in-Chief of Vision Systems Design magazine, noted: “We congratulate Gidel for their score in the 2023 Innovators Award program.” She added that the team should be very proud of this achievement.
FantoVision: Ready-to-Use Computer for Vision on the Edge
FantoVision systems help developers build advanced applications that require compact size, low power consumption, and consistent performance. The platform combines high-bandwidth camera interfaces with Gidel’s FPGA-based processing technology. As a result, it offers real-time acquisition speeds of up to 40 Gb/s. This capability makes it ideal for high-resolution, high-speed, low-latency, and multi-camera workflows.
The FantoVision family supports interfaces such as 10GigE, CoaXPress-12, and Camera Link. These options allow integrators to connect many industrial cameras with ease. Thanks to this flexibility, the systems can be used in inspection, robotics, autonomous navigation, and other demanding fields where edge computer vision offers clear benefits.
Ultimately, recognition from Vision Systems Design reinforces FantoVision’s role as a versatile platform that simplifies development while maintaining industrial-grade performance. The award also highlights Gidel’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable solutions for real-world imaging challenges.
