Smart Industrial High‑Speed Camera Systems

High-speed video that keeps running — in step with your measurements.

Continuous recording, not short bursts. Measurement data captured on the same clock as every frame. Built for 24/7 industrial production lines.

Applications

Start with the problem you are trying to see

Each application page walks through a real setup: what went wrong, what the customer asked for, and the footage and figures that came out.

A red HSCAM camera mounted beside a rolling-mill shear, next to the cutting disc and wire guide tube.

1,200 °C wire · up to 140 m/s · 24/7

Steel & rolling mill

Every cut and every jam, recorded around the clock

Uneven cuts and wire jams on a shear line, filmed at thousands of frames per second with a week of history and synchronized measurements.

Without frame-accurate sync, at 140 m/s

~10 ms error → up to 1.4 m ambiguity

Synchronized video & measurement

Is your video out of step with your measurements?

How video and sensor data stay on one clock, shown on the steel line and in a two-camera trade-show demo triggered by a measurement threshold.

Realtime Droplet Inspection

Training data in, real-time correction out

STREAMER observes the whole droplet path to generate AI training data; NANO closes the loop, classifying droplets on-chip and correcting the generator in real time.

Technology

Streaming, compression, synchronization and FPGA — one continuous architecture

What runs in every STREAMER deployment today.

Continuous streaming

1,300 fps continuous

Continuous acquisition — triggers mark or retain events instead of starting capture from idle.

Edge compression

~1.5 GB/s → <300 MB/s

Per camera — low enough for a standard laptop with an SSD to keep up.

Frame-synchronized measurement

~10 ms → ns jitter

Video and measurement data share the same clock.

FPGA implementation

< 1 µs latency

For response times a software pipeline can't reach — HSCAM implements this tier today.

Prototype — ready for pilot projects

NANO: on-sensor processing, ready for pilot projects

HSCAM NANO is built around a Vision System on Chip (VSoC) — on-sensor processing invented by Fraunhofer IIS, with an integrated microcontroller and neural processing unit. The photography here shows real prototype and chip-level hardware; pilot projects are underway ahead of general availability.

Engineering

Customer-specific integration, not one-size-fits-all

Script camera behaviour in Python, extend it through the camera SDK, adapt the trigger to your process, or extend the measurement channels. Mechanical housings and optics are engineered per installation. The underlying streaming and FPGA architecture is covered under Technology.
