Why AGVs Use GMSL Cameras for Long Cable Runs & EMI-Heavy Environments


Listen Later

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) depend on reliable vision to navigate factories, warehouses, and industrial environments. But when cameras run through long cable routes and operate near high-power motors, EMI can disrupt signals and degrade performance.

That’s why GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) cameras are becoming the preferred choice for AGV vision systems.

In this episode of Vision Vitals - e-con Systems podcast, we break down how GMSL cameras deliver:

✅ Long-distance transmission (up to ~15m over coax)
✅ EMI-resistant performance near motors & conveyors
✅ Power-over-Coax (PoC) to simplify cabling
✅ Low-latency 4K video feeds for real-time decisions
✅ Rugged connectors for vibration & shock
✅ Multi-camera synchronization for SLAM & 360° awareness

We also discuss:
• Serializer/deserializer architecture
• Frame alignment for AI perception
• Cable selection in industrial robotics
• Heat, dust, and vibration challenges
• Why USB/MIPI struggle in AGVs

With 20+ years of embedded vision expertise, e-con Systems offers validated GMSL camera modules, tuned drivers, and ready-to-use SDKs built specifically for AGVs and AMRs.
