About IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH is a leading manufacturer of industrial cameras and pioneer in industrial image processing. The owner-managed company develops modular concepts of powerful and versatile USB, GigE and 3D camera as well as models with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The almost unlimited range of applications covers multiple non-industrial and industrial sectors of equipment, plant and mechanical engineering. The AI image processing platform IDS NXT is extremely versatile and opens up new areas of application where classic rule-based image processing reaches its limits. With visionpier, IDS operates an online marketplace that brings together suppliers of ready-made image processing solutions and interested end customers in a targeted manner.

Since its foundation in 1997 as a two-man company, IDS has developed into an independent, ISO and environmentally certified family business with around 350 employees. The headquarters in Obersulm, Germany, is both a development and production site. With branches and representative offices in the USA, Japan, South Korea, the UK, France and the Netherlands, the technology company is also globally represented.

Our values

We want to offer the best user experience in the vision market. This underpins our aim of not only delivering top performance for our customers but of providing them with distinctive added value. This applies to our approach to our products and how we interact within the company. We put a huge amount of commitment and passion into developing and producing our cameras, with constant awareness of our corporate vision. Our corporate values provide guidelines for all our employees around the world:

Future focus

Innovative ideas, ongoing learning, and mental agility are important to us. It goes without saying that we act in a responsible manner, with quality, safety, and the environment uppermost in our minds. All employees are responsible for the continuous improvement of our products, working methods, and lines of communication. Our success is based on the ongoing training and further education of our employees.

Team spirit

We foster a culture of open communication and treat each other and our customers and partners with esteem and respect, sharing our experience and our knowledge. Integrity and attentiveness are key aspects of how we interact.

Helpfulness

At IDS, we value each employee as an individual and regard the convergence of many different personalities as a great opportunity. To channel our energy in a disciplined way, we have laid down firm principles, which determine how we interact with each other on a daily basis.

Quality and environment

We develop and produce environmentally-friendly products. Our holistic approach to quality does not just include product quality, but even more importantly, includes environmental protection and the economic use of resources. The energy at our headquarters comes from 100% green power, either generated on site or provided by certified power suppliers. We also make sure that our suppliers meet our stringent demands in terms of environmental protection and resource conservation.

As an environmentally certified, climate-neutral company, we see it as our responsibility to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible and to protect our environment.
