Jan Hartmann, son of company founder Jürgen Hartmann, gave the group insights into the portfolio and development of IDS from a two-man operation to an internationally successful high-tech company. The application spectrum of the USB, GigE and vision app-based industrial cameras developed and produced by IDS covers multiple non-industrial and industrial sectors in the field of equipment, plant and mechanical engineering.
The representative of the Japanese Ministry of Economic Affairs and Trade was impressed by how IDS, as a medium-sized company, can keep up with the high standards of large corporations and is very committed to the well-being of its employees. He also praised the cleanliness and high quality standards of IDS.
He was accompanied by a delegation from the Japanese Trade Policy Bureau, Tetsuya Kimura (Japanese Consul General in Munich), Hidehiko Kaneko (Consul) and Dr. Andreas Schumm (Managing Director of the Heilbronn-Franken Economic Region). IDS was the only stop in Baden-Württemberg before the Japanese delegation travelled on to Bremen and the Hannover Messe.
The state economic development agency "Baden-Württemberg International" organized and accompanied the visit. Their representative Mrs. Beate Ando explained after the delegation’s stay in the area: "The Vice Minister of Economic Affairs was very impressed by the region and the company and mentioned this at a major business symposium at the Hannover Messe.” Ando announced a visit of the IDS branch in Tokyo together with Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, during his visit to Japan this summer.
The industrial camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH develops high-performance, easy-to-use USB, GigE and 3D cameras with a wide spectrum of sensors and variants. The almost unlimited range of applications covers multiple non-industrial and industrial sectors in the field of equipment, plant and mechanical engineering. In addition to the successful CMOS cameras, the company expands its portfolio with vision app-based cameras. The novel image processing platform IDS NXT is freely programmable and extremely versatile.
Since its foundation in 1997 as a two-man company, IDS has developed into an independent, ISO-certified family business with about 280 employees. The headquarters in Obersulm, Germany, is both a development and production site. With branches in the USA, Japan, South Korea and UK as well as other offices, IDS is represented internationally.
