Industrial Applications

1. Space-Constrained Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Vision

Integration of board-level vision directly into robotic end-effectors for pick-and-place automation, utilizing the daughterboard's small form factor to minimize payload and cable routing complexity.

Problem Solved

Traditional enclosed industrial cameras and dual-cable setups add excessive weight and cable wear risk to fast-moving robotic arms. The 1012266 daughterboard solves this by fitting into a custom space-saving housing [1.1] with its 40 mm x 50 mm dimension and utilizing a single RJ45 port for IEEE 802.3af PoE, drastically reducing cable drag.

2. Modular Medical Diagnostic Instruments and Slide Scanners

Implementation of decentralized vision architectures within in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) machines, separating the imaging sensor head from the power supply and Ethernet interface.

Problem Solved

Diagnostic instruments often suffer from severe space constraints and thermal sensitivity near the optical path. By using this remote GigE PoE daughterboard, engineers can place the tiny uEye SLE sensor precisely where needed while mounting the 40 mm x 50 mm board elsewhere via flex ribbon, relying on a single RJ45 cable for power and Gigabit Ethernet data.

3. Low-Profile AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) Navigation Cameras

Embedding low-clearance vision sensors into warehouse mobile robots for optical tracking and obstacle detection, powered entirely by onboard network switches.

Problem Solved

Space inside low-profile AGVs is highly restricted, and distributing separate DC power to multiple navigation cameras increases internal wiring volume. Using the 1012266 board enables direct connection to the AGV's central PoE switch via RJ45, without requiring an additional power supply. The compact 40 mm x 50 mm board-level design allows stealthy integration directly into the vehicle chassis for customized housing concepts.
