How do image sensor companies approach new product development? Oftentimes it involves developing custom products for customers and then using the resulting IP as new products. Sometimes, however, these products that may target specific applications such as machine vision end up adding value far beyond the factory floor, from surgical guidance to indoor pet monitoring. If a camera can produce a crisp image for a customer, ultimately its intended use is of no consequence. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, James McCann, Director of the Low Noise Business Team at Teledyne Imaging joins TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll and John Lewis to discuss the company’s latest technological innovations and the applications in which they add value. In addition, McCann discusses its approach to working with camera customers, single photon imaging, and more.

Hyperspectral imaging has been around for decades, but new capabilities are taking the technology to whole new levels. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll and John Lewis sat down with Alex Fong, CTO at Hinalea Imaging, to talk about where the technology is heading. Hinalea uses a Fabry-Pérot interferometry approach that provides extreme versatility — very quickly collecting entire high-resolution ranges from the visible through near infrared, shortwave infrared (SWIR), even up into ultraviolet. Fong details the wide range of applications this enables — from monitoring critical processes in real time to detecting hazards quickly — as well as what is making SWIR technologies so popular.
