Zivid :: 3D Machine Vision Cameras Designed for Advanced Robotics & Industrial Automation

Zivid is a Norwegian technology company specializing in high-performance 3D machine vision cameras designed for advanced robotics and industrial automation. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Zivid has established itself as a global leader in 3D vision systems, particularly for applications requiring exceptional image quality, color accuracy, and the ability to handle challenging reflective and transparent surfaces.

The company’s flagship products are its Zivid 2 and Zivid One+ families of 3D cameras. These are compact, high-resolution 3D color cameras that deliver industry-leading point-cloud quality with a unique combination of high dynamic range, superior color reproduction, and sub-millimeter accuracy. The latest generation, Zivid 2, includes models such as the Zivid 2 L100 (long-range), M130, and S series, each optimized for different working distances and environments. These cameras are specifically engineered to solve some of the most difficult vision challenges in bin-picking, piece-picking, assembly, inspection, and quality control.

A standout feature of Zivid cameras is their ability to capture high-quality 3D data on shiny, metallic, reflective, and transparent objects — surfaces that traditionally cause problems for other 3D vision systems. This is achieved through Zivid’s proprietary optical technology and advanced image-processing algorithms. The cameras are plug-and-play with major robot brands including Universal Robots, ABB, Fanuc, KUKA, Techman, Doosan, and others. Zivid also provides a comprehensive software ecosystem, including the Zivid SDK, Zivid Studio, and a range of vision tools that simplify integration and application development.

Zivid’s solutions are widely used in logistics and e-commerce fulfillment centers, manufacturing, automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries. The company emphasizes ease of use, rapid deployment, and reliable performance even in demanding industrial environments. With a strong focus on innovation, Zivid continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in 3D vision for next-generation robotics and Industry 4.0 applications.
