ifm innovation : World First: The First AI Camera with Integrated 2D & 3D ToF Technology - Smart detection and obstacle recognition in one system

28/11/2025

ifm introduces the world’s first AI-based 2D/3D camera with PMD technology, specially designed for mobile and hard-to-maneuver machines. This groundbreaking solution combines intelligent person detection with proven 3D obstacle detection, taking safety to a whole new level.

Thanks to its powerful AI processor and unique combination of 2D and 3D sensors, the O3M AI camera delivers unmatched detection performance in a fully integrated system. The result? Real-time protection for people, less downtime, and maximum efficiency.

Smart, reliable, and autonomous

  • AI-assisted person detection: distinguishes people from obstacles and alerts only in case of real danger – no unnecessary alarms.
  • Fully integrated obstacle detection: operates autonomously, without extra hardware.
  • Self-monitoring function: detects tampering, faults, or dirt.
  • Live video streaming: via Fast Ethernet in H.264, H.265, or MJPEG.

Flexibility for your application With Vision Assistant software, you can easily add your own logic and overlays using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. This allows you to fully customize the camera to your machine and process.
