Photonfocus AG, is a dynamic, solidly founded start-up
company. Photonfocus combines solely leading expertise in designing CMOS
sensors with sound vision camera engineering. Photonfocus sells standard
cameras and OEM vision modules for the industrial market. Besides standard
products Photonfocus offers solutions adapted at customer's needs.
Business Model
The manufacturing is organized according to the "Fabless Business Model".
Photonfocus works with qualified foundries to guarantee high quality
standards. Due to the fact that Photonfocus has their own sensor
technology, camera and sensors are adjusted optimal. Because of that the
products development cycles shorten and products correspond to the
customers requirements. Therefore Photonfocus has a little dependence on
external suppliers of sensors.
History
Photonfocus AG was founded in April 2001, as a spin-off company from CSEM,
the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology. Photonsfocus’
know-how in CMOS image-sensors and cameras for industrial image processing
goes back to the CSEM. Photonfocus is a fast growing company. It works
successfully on development and marketing of high-speed image sensors and
high quality digital cameras. Those products are protected, e.g. under the
