Kontron, provider of Embedded Computing Technology and Stemmer Imaging, provider for industrial image processing announced the closing of a cooperation contract. The goal of the collaboration is to optimize the customization of hardware and software for image processing applications. The cooperation has given rise to application-ready image processing platforms which will be available from both organizations.

The platforms are based on the configurable Kontron Industrial Silent Server KISS and are adapted to the individual requirements of industrial image processing. This allows deployment of Common Vision Blox, Stemmer Imaging's image processing software platform. The emerging industrial image processing solutions focus on the identification and quality control of general and bulk cargo in manufacturing and packaging as well as the quality control of sheet goods such as woven items and plastic and metal sheeting.

The certification standards of Kontron products ensure the platforms are particularly suited for use in intelligent traffic systems and medical technology applications.
