How Multi-Sensor Fusion of Camera, LiDAR, and IMU Drives Reliable AMR Operation

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
AMR solutions can automate up to 80% of non-conveyed material movement and reduce inventory needs by up to 30%. Gains like that depend on perception that stays reliable during real material handling. However, reliable AMR operation depends on what the robot can confirm while the material is already moving. Route......

Beyond the Number Plate: Validating Transactions in Free-Flow Tolling

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
In the first blog of this three-part series, you saw why camera design matters in ORT and MLFF. You also found out how the field of view, pixel density, shutter choice, exposure control, synchronization, and more determine whether a vehicle image remains readable when traffic passes at highway speed. A......

How Camera Selection Impacts the Inspection & Monitoring Accuracy of Industrial Drones

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
Industrial drones now handle inspection, monitoring, and audit tasks across plants, refineries, energy assets, yards, mining sites, construction zones, and utility corridors. Their value depends on the quality of the visual evidence they return, which means the camera must see enough detail for a human reviewer or an AI model......

Camera Reliability in ASRS: Why a Single Point of Failure Can Slow Down the Entire System

Suresh Madhu
by Suresh Madhu
In ASRS, any camera failure rarely appears as an obviously visible hardware issue. Instead, it shows up inside the automation flow, where the control system needs visual confidence before clearing the next movement, handoff, placement, or recovery step. The camera may be a small part of the machine, but the......

Vision Systems in Surveillance Drones: Why High Resolution and Global Shutter Matter

Ram Prasad
by Ram Prasad
A surveillance drone can reach the right place at the right time, yet the final image still has to carry enough detail for people and software to understand what happened. While surveillance drones have changed how teams inspect large sites, monitor public spaces, and more, their ability to help make......

Why Camera Design Matters in Open Road Tolling (ORT) and Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF)

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Open Road Tolling and Multi-Lane Free Flow systems must record each vehicle without interrupting traffic. The camera has a brief capture window to produce a plate image that OCR can read, and the tolling system can connect to the correct transaction. See how camera design supports multi-lane capture at highway...

ALPR Systems Are Being Hacked – Here’s What the Industry Isn’t Talking About

Dilip Kumar
by Dilip Kumar
Ever heard how fact is stranger than fiction? It’s scarier too! A security researcher recently used publicly available network scanning tools to find over 170 live ALPR cameras in major US cities (including Nashville and Chicago). The person used open remote access ports and factory-default passwords that had never been......

How GMSL Health Monitoring and Error Recovery in e-con Systems’ STURDeCAM Series Enhances Autonomous Mobility

Prabu Kumar
by Prabu Kumar
GMSL technology is a high-speed and power-efficient video link commonly used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), smart traffic, and robotic applications. It operates by employing serializers to convert data into a serial stream on the transmitter side and deserializers to convert it back into a parallel word for processing......
