Real-time acquisition of 3D information! CIS's compact ToF camera.

A compact ToF camera that uses a SONY ToF sensor and is equipped with four laser diodes. It contributes to the efficiency of operations in logistics sites and other areas.

The demand for the logistics industry is increasing more and more due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the flow of goods is active, I hear that the entire logistics industry is being asked to improve efficiency due to issues such as a shortage of drivers and high crude oil prices. To address these concerns, CIS has developed a new product, the ToF (Time-of-Flight) camera "DCC-VToF4." With a measurement range of 0.4 to 5 meters, the workpieces are displayed in red when close to the camera and in blue when far away (in color display mode), allowing for a three-dimensional understanding of the workpiece's location at a glance. By utilizing these features, tasks that currently rely on human labor, such as checking the inventory status of shelves in logistics warehouses, confirming employee work routes, managing entry and exit, and ensuring the safety of workers and vehicles, can be enhanced through the combination of cameras and image processing systems, contributing to the prevention of human errors, improved safety, and increased work efficiency. Additionally, due to its compact size of 70×50×30mm, it can also be integrated into picking robots and other applications. The camera itself is equipped with four laser diodes, making it usable even in environments with lighting concerns.
