Five questions before comparing models
Use these points to exclude unsuitable camera families. The product pages then provide specifications for each variant.
2 · Performance
Which feature determines the decision?
Compare required sampling, repeatability and permitted error.
3 · Part
How does the surface behave?
Dark, glossy or transparent parts require a representative trial.
4 and 5 · Process
How fast and how will it connect?
Check capture and processing time, triggering, software, PLC or robot connection.
Applications and business case
The 3D camera is one part of the process solution
Value is created when reliable depth information reduces manual measurement, positioning or intervention. The camera must therefore be evaluated together with software, robot, control system and mechanics.
Quality control
Measure height, shape, flatness and volume
Use 3D when height differences or shape information determine the decision. Examples include fill height, deformation, missing material, fit and volume measurement. Acceptance testing must cover repeatability, boundary cases and real production surfaces.
Robot guidance
Determine part position and orientation
A 6D part pose describes its 3D position and orientation. An executable pick also requires grasp planning, reach checks, collision checks and a safe robot path.

Bin picking, depalletising and loading
3D supports parts with varying height or orientation. The business case also depends on successful cycles, retries, recovery after a failed pick, bin or pallet changes and required operator interventions.
Logistics and process measurement
Profile, dimensions and occupancy
Depth images can determine package dimensions, object height, volume and available space. Define the result required by the PLC, robot or business software and the time in which it must be available.
Custom perception
When standard 3D tools do not cover the variation
For complex recognition or pose estimation, Sedeco can train custom models using real production data and synthetic images from a usable CAD model. We optimise the model and inference for the selected compute hardware. The final platform can use existing machine-vision hardware or a dedicated hardware concept.

- Current manual measurement, sorting or handling time.
- Production volume, cycle time and peak load.
- Cost of rejects, rework, downtime and lost production.
- Number of operator interventions, retries and changeovers.
- Required cameras, compute hardware, robot changes and integration.
- Maintenance, calibration, spare parts and model management.
Calculation model: annual process costs removed or reduced, minus annual management and maintenance costs. Compare this amount with the total investment. The result requires measurements from your own production.

After product screening
Test the shortlist on real parts
A datasheet cannot fully predict how much valid depth will remain on your parts. Test extreme distances, product variants, normal motion and actual ambient light before committing to a model.
