Stability Optimization: More Stable and Reliable than Separate Industrial PC Deployment
The 3D smart camera relies on TransferTech’s self-developed integrated hardware and software architecture, maintaining strong stability and reliability even in extreme environments. The highly integrated SOC fundamentally eliminates common issues in traditional industrial PCs such as hard drive failures and graphics card damage. The 3D smart camera provides IP65 protection, significantly reducing failure risks caused by fan dust accumulation and water condensation. This innovative design ensures the device can operate stably for extended periods, providing continuous and reliable support for industrial production.
Meanwhile, the 3D smart camera can operate independently without an industrial PC, supporting plug-and-play, further reducing wiring requirements and improving deployment flexibility. According to calculations, TransferTech’s smart 3D industrial camera installation time is reduced to 1/5 of traditional solutions; supports quick replacement, reducing failure downtime by over 60%; the built-in high-performance SOC enables edge fast processing, with internal data transmission reaching 10 Gigabit, 10 times that of traditional solutions, reducing transmission time by 200ms+; in terms of energy efficiency, the Pixel series 3D smart camera’s average power consumption can be as low as 12W, with standby power consumption as low as 6.5W, while the Laser series 3D smart camera’s average power consumption can be as low as 16W, with standby power consumption as low as 12W.

In terms of maintenance and debugging, the 3D smart camera supports multi-platform device connection, allowing users to easily achieve cross-platform debugging and management through computers, phones, or tablets. Engineers can monitor the operating status of cameras in the factory in real-time, check device parameters and promptly discover potential issues, greatly improving management efficiency.
Additionally, the device has built-in multiple redundant backup mechanisms, ensuring the system remains in a stable operating state even under extreme conditions. Through this high-reliability design, the device’s availability and stability have been significantly improved, providing solid support for efficient operations in industrial scenarios. Actual test data shows that the device maintains a 99.99% failure-free operation rate in environments with dust concentration of 15mg/m³ and temperatures from -10℃ to 45℃.

Improved Space Utilization: 3D Smart Camera is an Ideal Choice for Composite Robots
In composite robot scenarios, device space occupation and energy efficiency are crucial. The 3D smart camera, with its unique advantages, becomes an ideal choice for this scenario.
The camera body is compact and exquisite, greatly saving space and perfectly adapting to the limited installation space of composite robots, eliminating the need for additional space for external devices, making the robot’s overall structure more concise and compact. Its highly integrated design is a major highlight, capable of independently completing the entire process of image acquisition, visual algorithm processing, motion planning, and obstacle avoidance without external industrial PCs, avoiding the problems of volume increase and complex wiring brought by external devices, further improving space utilization.
In terms of energy consumption, the camera’s low-power design gives it outstanding advantages in battery life, with low energy consumption benefiting long-term operation of composite robots, reducing the hassle of frequent charging, and meeting the high requirements for battery life in mobile operations of composite robots. Even in complex industrial field environments, it can operate stably, providing precise visual support for composite robots.
