LIPS and Namuga Announce Strategic Alliance to Accelerate Global Commercialization of AI Machine Vision Solutions
The two companies will collaborate to accelerate the global commercialization of AI machine vision modules across industrial robotics, smart security, XR devices, and human–machine interface (HMI) applications.
LIPS Corporation, a global leader in 3D machine vision technologies, and Namuga, South Korea's leading optical module manufacturer, today jointly announced the signing of a global supply partnership agreement. The two companies will collaborate to accelerate the global commercialization of AI machine vision modules across industrial robotics, smart security, XR devices, and human-machine interface (HMI) applications.
The partnership was unveiled during Namuga's TECH DAY 2025 event, themed "Globalization of AI Machine Vision Technology." Both companies emphasized that this strategic alliance represents not only technical integration but also an important step in global market deployment. Namuga will serve as the primary module integration and global distribution partner, leveraging its strong mass-production capabilities and extensive customer network to accelerate the adoption of LIPS technologies across smart devices, industrial systems, and emerging application domains.
LIPS also officially announced the completion of its next-generation LIPSedge® 3D depth camera series, including:
T2 Series (Time-of-Flight): High-precision, low-latency depth sensing designed for dynamic environments and industrial machine vision.
S3 Series (Stereo Vision): High-resolution, low-power stereo vision modules optimized for spatial awareness and HMI applications.
Both series are scheduled for mass production in 2026, targeting high-volume machine vision and human-machine interaction markets. These platforms are designed to deliver scalable, modular 3D sensing solutions for global customers.
LIPS CEO, Luke Liu, stated:
"We believe that AI machine vision is the cornerstone of the next wave of intelligent devices. LIPS is committed to building scalable, modular 3D sensing platforms, and Namuga—leveraging its deep expertise in optical modules and its global reach—stands as an ideal strategic partner. This collaboration is not only about technology; it is a shared response to the evolving demands of the global market."
A representative from Namuga's Business Development Division added:
"We don't just deliver modules — we deliver market access and production assurance. Partnering with LIPS enables us to co-create globally competitive AI machine vision solutions and accelerate their deployment across industries."
This partnership brings together LIPS's innovation in deep machine vision and 3D sensing modules with Namuga's manufacturing capabilities and market leadership, jointly advancing the global deployment of next-generation sensing technologies.
Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
