Orbbec and Basler said that their collaboration goes beyond a traditional distribution model.

By combining Orbbec’s proprietary chip-level depth sensing technology and in-house manufacturing capabilities with Basler’s experience in industrial vision, system integration and global go-to-market, the companies said that its customers can benefit from clearly defined, tested and long-term available offerings within an established industrial ecosystem.

“Basler’s industrial expertise and global presence make them the right partner for scaling 3D vision in demanding automation markets,” said Mike McSweeney, vice president of sales at Orbbec. “By combining Orbbec’s depth sensing technology with Basler’s industrial software platform and integration capabilities, this partnership enables stereo-based 3D vision solutions with reduced integration effort and long-term security.”

Orbbec stated that the first concrete outcome of the collaboration is Basler’s Stereo mini product line, which was launched at LogiMAT 2026.

The companies said that the Stereo mini delivers a stereo-based 3D vision system from a single source - including camera hardware, tested configurations and accessories, documentation and integration into the Basler pylon SDK. The system is designed for perception tasks in logistics and automation, including navigation, obstacle detection and general robotics applications.

“With Orbbec as our technology partner, we are specifically strengthening our 3D portfolio,” said René von Fintel, executive director, business management, at Basler AG. “With the Basler Stereo mini camera, we are expanding our range of solutions in the field of navigation, obstacle detection, and environment mapping for autonomous mobile robots. The Basler Stereo Mini is also well suited for general 3D applications where price-performance and small size are important factors."
