IDS Imaging Development Systems has been named to the Top 100 most innovative small and medium-sized companies for the 23rd time. 

IDS Imaging Development Systems has been named to the Top 100 most innovative small and medium-sized companies for the 23rd time.

Since 1993, Compamedia GmbH has organized the benchmarking TOP 100 project, which aims to give attention to highly innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. For the 23rd time, IDS Imaging Development Systems has been recognized after having underwent a challenging scientific selection process, which examined the innovation management and innovatory success.

The Obersulm-based industrial camera company scored particularly high in the TOP 100 in the "Innovatory success" category.

"We want to make life simpler for our customers. They should be able to use the cameras quickly with no need for complex programming," explained marketing manager Oliver Senghaas in a press release. "This "It's so easy" approach is supported by a well-developed innovation marketing strategy. For example, Chinese customers are addressed in their own language on the website and can find clear information on innovations and features on YouTube. Customers can find information, request price information or place orders immediately via a separate B2B portal 24 hours a day."

Since forming in 1997, IDS has more than 200 employees worldwide. The company continues to produce industrial cameras with autofocus systems or stereo 3Dimage processing for applications in robotics, kiosk and access control systems, quality assurance, and surface inspection.
