I doubt for the next years. Go go a large exhibition like sps/ipc/drives in Nürnberg and be astonished how manys hundreds of relatively small companies all offer more or less the same. And its similar in all industrial electronicts. Once it works nobody touches it again and they stay in until the next generation of machine. Maybe one or the most important reason is the lock in effect with proprietary tools that makes them hard to replace. earnings of 44€/camera - so about 153€ on top of every BOM (and Basler might be quite good relative to its peers) Like page 50: divide costs by camera number. Its quite interesting to read the annual report of Basler For the complex problems you can buy ip cores, and the complex problem in a camera is the cmos Sensor that you anyhow buy.Īdditionaly you can design in ideas that you cannot buy off the shelf, sometimes this helps differentiating your product from competitors that buy off the shelf -) Delete If you have demand for a few 100 cameras per year and not too much variation/models it pays, especially if you are a machine builder with a electronics development know how for other components (where you have similar firmware/hw issues to handle). ![]() In industrial cameras there are not 3 but hundreds of companies, some with 'skyrocket stocks' and that basically offer the same. Coaxpress is an example as I said, the BOM is about the same than USB3, the price of the camera is about 2-3x.Īccording to game theory there are 3 players in a mature market. You pay a 'marketing pricepoint' sometimes, especially in high performance cameras. You also pay for a lot of features you dont need. For German manufacturers of image processing components this meant an order growth by 47 % and a sales growth by 43 % - in the same period Basler's incoming orders grew by 100 % and sales by 62 %.”ĭont forget the exhibition booths, high definition marketing videos, websites and catalogues, administrative overhead (every camera manufacturer has), the sales guys and senior vice presidents that you pay with every camera. For the first six months of 2017, the VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, German engineering association) reported the strongest growth for image processing components since 15 years. " In a very dynamic market environment, Basler AG closed the first half-year of 2017 with new record values in incoming orders and sales. Furthermore, bottle necks in materials and production led to increasing delivery times and these to early order placements." " The strong demand is mainly due to high investments in the electronics industry in Asia along with a widely spread upswing in the market. The company earning reports reveal a surge in its imaging business: Germany-based machine vision and industrial camera maker Basler stock market value more than triples since the beginning of 2017. ![]()
