>>3385747>This is stuff on market right now!You can analyze the technology they use, and determine where does it originate from.
My argument is the Starvis is Exmor R, it is using technology that was initially developed for consumer cameras.
These sensors for industry does not need the newest and most expensive technologies.
Think about it!
You want profit maximized.
Front side illumination is cheaper to manufacture.
Backside illumination is more advanced, but more costly.
So you develop 1 key technology such as Global Shutter, which is necessary for optimal Machine vision.
Then you locked that key technology into the cheapest manufacturing you can get away with. In this case probably 180nm FSI manufacturing. (You have a shit load of 180nm capacity which is no longer used by your A7iii models, so why not keep them in use for other businesses?)
And BAMM. Suddenly you can price these 180nm sensors for insanely high pricing because they have that one key technology, Global Shutter.
That's how you get maximum profit, finding out ways to use even your most mature technologies.
