In 2009, Allied Vision Technologies celebrates its 20th anniversary. In two decades, the company that was founded as a distributor of analog cameras has advanced, with development know-how and high quality, to become a worldwide leader in the manufacture of digital cameras for industrial and scientific imaging. Founder Sticksel established himself within the German market as an importer and distributor of analog cameras and components for industrial imaging. Renamed Allied Vision Technologies in 2001, the company no longer has much in common with the firm of that time: it has evolved from being a distributor into a camera developer and manufacturer that has made a name for itself in digital technology. Headquartered in Stadtroda in the German Federal State of Thuringia is one of the leading manufacturers worldwide of cameras for industrial imaging, now employing over 130 people at four locations in Germany, the US and Canada. Here is a look back at a one-of-a-kind success story. A perfect fit every time Tailor-Made Camera Solutions High-Tech Quality Made in Germany Over the years, a highly modern production facility arose in Stadtroda, its methods meeting the highest possible standards: processes are all ISO 9001 certified and meet the requirements and norms of the ESA (European Space Agency). For complex demands, such as those of medical technology, clean rooms of dust classes 100,000 and 10,000 are available. In 2008, a new production facility at the Stadtroda location allowed for double the capacity along with further modernization of production processes. Analog goes digital: FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet AVT hit the ground running on the digital FireWire interface (IEEE 1394), already prevalent in consumer electronics. With its digital cameras and expertise in FireWire technology, Allied Vision Technologies accompanied the industrial imagings migration from analog to digital in the years that followed, and in so doing, tapped into the industry zeitgeist. The product portfolio grew swiftly on the heels of this success. Within seven years, six new, innovative camera families were created: Dolphin, Marlin, Oscar, Guppy, Pike and Stingray. Along with outstanding quality, attractive cost/performance ration and modular design, the little red cameras sold the experts with their so-called Smart Features. comprehensive intelligent functions that optimize image quality even within the camera electronics to prepare image data for efficient processing in the system computer. Today, Allied Vision Technologies product portfolio counts nine camera families. Alongside FireWire, GigE Vision the new Gigabit Ethernet interface for the transfer of large quantities of image data entered the portfolio with the acquisition of Canadian manufacturer Prosilica. With both platforms, Allied Vision Technologies offers the two leading digital interfaces for industrial imagining of the future out of one hand International Growth Located in Burnaby near Vancouver, Prosilica has made a name for itself as a trailblazer in GigE technology. With this acquisition, AVT gained additional development and production capacity in North America, along with a profound knowledge base in the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
