Bernd Neumann founded the IBN GmbH in 1999 after 4 years of self-employment as a diploma-educated visual engineer. Bernd Neumann was the first to integrate a graphical, programmable user interface into an intelligent camera, without the need for a PC. His customers include companies such as Bosch, Fuji, Nestlé, SKF, Sony, Volkswagen etc., where smart-cameras are in operation. These cameras function completely Autark, and do not require a PC to carry out camera inspections.
