In September 1997, Dr. Klaus-Henning Noffz and Dr. Ralf Lay founded the company as a University of Mannheim spin-off.

High bandwidth is essential when transmitting big data volumes in image processing systems. However, available interface technologies like GigE or CoaXPress are the bottleneck when talking about bandwidth. By pre-processing the image in the camera and applying data compression technologies this bottleneck can be mitigated.

For some time now the term Industry 4.0 has often been mentioned in connection with image processing and it is predicted to turn our habits upside down. 

The counting of objects or parts is—one should think—no big challenge for image processing any more.
