FRAMOS® partners with Rhonda Software to Strengthen Embedded Vision Development

FRAMOS completes its broad imaging portfolio from single sensors to complete embedded vision systems by worldwide partnering with Rhonda Software, one of the primary product development companies for Ambarella based ISPs, SoCs and SoMs, to support customers with facilitated and accelerated platform options to develop cutting-edge vision solutions.

Rhonda Software is a software and hardware design house with a focus on Embedded solutions in the areas of Imaging, Multimedia and Connectivity. Established in 1995, the Chicago headquartered company owns decades of engineering experience and a history of hundreds of camera products. The Ambarella design partner employs 100+ engineers and experts in still and video processing, connected devices, computer vision, cloud services and mobile applications. Offering numerous features out-of-the-box, like UCV streaming, Bluetooth and BLE connectivity, various camera control options, dual imager support, Raspberry Pi integration and a very small footprint, the Rhonda solutions that includes their camera SDK built on top of the low-level Ambarella system support package (SSP) allows customers to speed up development cycles of complex custom cameras and embedded systems.

Darren Bessette, Category Manager Devices at FRAMOS, describes the customer benefits of the newly set collaboration: “We are extremely happy to collaborate with Rhonda Software, their technologies and products are an optimal addition to our portfolio of imaging solutions, ranging from sensors to systems, that support our customers with developing high-end embedded vision solutions with a short time-to-market. Customers benefit by accessing their SoCs and SoMs and Rhonda’s API solutions while directly working with Ambarella to seamlessly integrate imaging processing into vision modules.”

Andrey Mischenko, CEO of Rhonda Software, says: “We are very pleased to have entered into this technological partnership with FRAMOS. Our Embedded Vision products are designed for forward-thinking OEMs and developers with demanding needs. With their professional expertise in imaging technology, helping engineers to build machines that see, FRAMOS has also positioned itself as a forward-thinking machine vision industry leader. Additionally, this collaboration offers great benefits to Ambarella users and vision developers to shorten their time-to-market. We look forward to a very close and long-term relationship which will benefit our mutual customers.”

FRAMOS supports industrial customers, OEMs, system integrators, and researchers in overcoming the challenges with imaging, enabling machines to see. Whether it is about selecting individual components or complex system compositions for embedded vision, the FRAMOS team of experts serves clients as a technical consultant, development partner and external supplier to help innovative embedded imaging systems get to market faster. In addition to its broad portfolio of components, FRAMOS provides sensor modules with integrated optics, drivers for both high-end and low-cost hardware platforms and reference designs from sensor to system – including schematics, design files and other intellectual property. With the given modularity of designs, vision solutions can be developed very quickly. Whether it is an off-the shelf or customized sensor module, FRAMOS works directly with engineering teams to get their vision projects completed faster.
