Innovative AI camera for operator and collision protection
Robust functionality, optimised for mobile machines
Discover the world’s first 2D/3D PMD camera with ifm Deep Learning, developed and produced in Germany and designed for use on mobile machines. The O3M AI offers precise person detection and collision protection in real time. Thanks to the fusion of 2D and 3D data, the camera detects pedestrians up to 25 metres away and works reliably in different light and weather conditions.
The camera features a robust design and can be easily configured and updated via the ifm Vision Assistant. The O3M AI sets new standards in the safety and efficiency of mobile machines. Safety for man and machine means, first and foremost, protecting lives. O3M AI also helps to increase machine availability by reducing downtime and, ultimately, saving costs.
The O3M AI fulfils all European and global standards and regulations. Protect your employees and optimise your work processes with O3M AI.
Person detection
Reliable differentiation between people and other obstacles in real time
ifm Deep Learning
ifm’s own person detection algorithm runs on a powerful on-board AI processor
Communicative
Whether CAN, CANopen, SAE J1939, Fast Ethernet, UDP, RTP, RTSP, H.264, H.265 or MJPEG, the O3M AI is equipped for almost any communication.
Robust design
Developed for use in mobile machines: extremely vibration- and shock-resistant
Easy to use
Parameter setting and updating by the ifm Vision Assistant via Ethernet
Support from a single source
Benefit from effortless integration and expert support.
Thanks to standardisation, the O3M AI can be seamlessly integrated into common control systems and HMIs.
Person detection for forklift trucks
Challenges
A forklift truck driver’s view is often restricted by warehouse shelves, goods and loads. Unpredictable routes and movements of workers require the driver to react quickly to avoid collisions.
Benefits of O3M AI
- Precise detection of workers and obstacles up to 25 metres away
- Reliable function in different lighting conditions and in confusing environments, thanks to the fusion of 3D and 2D data
- Collision warning can be focused upon people to reduce alarms
Area monitoring for construction machines
Challenges
Dust, dirt and poor lighting impair the machine operator’s vision. Construction site environments are often confusing and require quick reactions to unexpected obstacles or people.
Benefits of O3M AI
- Detects pedestrians and objects up to 25 metres away
- Reliable function in different weather and light conditions
- Warnings only in the event of an actual collision risk in order to reduce driver alerts to the minimum
Collision protection for refuse collection vehicles
Challenges
The visibility of drivers of refuse collection vehicles is often restricted, especially when reversing. Narrow streets with many obstacles and pedestrians suddenly crossing the road pose additional risks.
Benefits of O3M AI
- Precise differentiation in real time between pedestrians and other objects such as vehicles
- Active prevention of collisions and early detection of people up to 25 metres away
- Avoidance of unnecessary collision warnings caused by small branches in the driving path, thereby clearly focussing on protecting human life
Collision avoidance in harbour areas
Challenges
In harbour areas, vehicles often move in narrow, high-traffic areas with potential collision hazards, especially in the blind spot. The accident risk increases where people are inattentive
Benefits of O3M AI
- Precise detection of people and objects up to 25 metres away
- Intelligent warning alarms when there is risk of collision with a detected person
- Early warnings minimise collisions and accidents, increase vehicle availability and reduce insurance premiums and employers’ liability insurance premiums
Deep learning at the highest level – made in Germany, made by ifm
ifm has developed the world’s first 2D/3D PMD camera with artificial intelligence that meets all standards worldwide. Hardware, software and AI algorithms made in Germany. Everything from a single source – made by ifm.
Customisable – your own logic, directly in the O3M AI camera
The O3M AI enables the implementation of customised logics and mathematic functions, to preprocess data and to display individual overlays in the video stream. Setup is easily done using the ifm Vision Assistant with drag-and-drop interface.
Outstanding image quality – your reliable 2D/3D AI sensor
The 2D AI camera with very high light sensitivity delivers razor-sharp images for reliable person detection. The video stream is transmitted via Fast Ethernet and supports H.264, H.265 and MJPEG.
