Machine vision and imaging web shop opens for business

Machine vision and imaging web shop opens for businessHampshire-based Scorpion Vision has launched ‘the industry’s largest online marketplace for machine vision and imaging’. The e-commerce site catalogues over 1,000 cameras and components, including lenses, machine vision light sources, specialist cables, industrial PCs, interface boards and software packages. This makes it the ‘most comprehensive’ B2B web shop for cameras and accessories. Delivery is free on orders within the UK and many items — including embedded cameras and M-12 lenses — are available for next day delivery.

Pictured above is one of the top-selling products on Scorpion’s web shop which is a small 3-D camera module for embedded applications that uses ‘Time of Flight’ technology (ToF) to create 3-D point clouds in real time. It is ideal for applications where real time distance measurement is required, for example, autonomous vehicles that require proximity measurement for obstacle avoidance.

Scorpion Vision is a secure platform which allows online transactions to be accompanied by specialist vision systems knowledge and advice. The site’s live chat facility allows buyers to put forward any questions they might have with a Scorpion Vision imaging expert, thus avoiding any costly purchasing mistakes.

The site is also full of useful tips and recommendations for guiding users on which components to use. For example, buyers perusing C-Mount lenses can click through to a ‘Knowledge Base’ article on how to select a lens. In addition, the site features ‘lens selector’ and ‘camera selector’ options, which will match users with their perfect lens or camera by filtering search criteria.

Paul Wilson, managing director at Scorpion Vision Ltd, said: “E-commerce has been slower to take off in B2B industries than in B2C markets. This is partly because purchases tend to be higher value and therefore require greater trust between buyer and seller, and also because buyers of industrial systems or components want to ask questions before they buy.

“We have been active in the imaging market for over 25 years, and are already known as one of the leading off-line suppliers of vision cameras and components. This is about using the trust and experience we have built up to create a ‘first-of-its-kind’ e-commerce site that conveniently provides customers with specialist knowledge at their fingertips.”
