Based in Austria, the client develops cutting-edge laboratory instruments and process measuring systems. They are popular for custom-tailored automation and robotic solutions like industrial tablets.
The client approached e-con Systems to seek our expertise in adding a camera module to
their industrial tablet that was used for applications like barcode scanning, OCR, and image
capture for documentation.
Since the client used a camera to capture and process images, along with an ARM
processor, they wanted a MIPI CSI-2 camera module with support for Linux/Android and the
iMX6 processor. Some of the client’s unique requirements were:
e-con Systems provided an off-the-shelf camera module, e-CAM130_MI1335_MOD, a 13MP
Autofocus MIPI camera module. We selected the module based on the image resolution,
high quality, and small form factor.
We also had to take into consideration other needs like ISP tuning for true color reproduction,
optimal power management, high-speed image capture, and ability to do barcode
scanning, AF hunting, etc.

be used with any application processors that came with a MIPI interface. We interfaced the
camera module with the targeted iMX6 processor and customized the drivers/HAL for
Android compatibility.
e-con Systems also provided the ISP in a castellated PCB to overcome mechanical fitment
and form factor challenges that were previously huge hurdles for the client. Other module
highlights included:
