Partners integrate support for GMSL/FAKRA depth camera

Orbbec announced its partnership with Connect Tech at Automate 2025 to provide built-in support for the Gemini 335Lg, the GMSL/FAKRA version of the industry-proven Gemini 335L stereo depth camera.

The Connect Tech Anvil Embedded System and Anvil-RX Rugged System, powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, now deliver native support for the company's Gemini 335Lg, enabling high‑performance stereo‑vision systems in robotics, autonomous machines, industrial automation, and smart‑agriculture applications.

The companies joined forces to provide trusted hardware and essential camera and sensor software, helping to reduce overall application development time. The collaboration not only increases the variety of compute platforms to use with the Gemini G335Lg, but also widens the sensor selection options for Connect Tech's Anvil Embedded System for:

System Integrators and OEMs in robotics seeking turnkey carrier‑board solutions that simplify hardware bring‑up and accelerate time‑to‑market.

Embedded Vision and AI Developers using the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem for GPU‑accelerated inference and requiring seamless camera interfacing via GMSL/FAKRA.

Solution Architects innovating in industrial automation, agriculture, drones, and medical imaging, where ruggedness, IP‑rated enclosures, and flexible I/O are critical.

"We couldn't be more pleased to partner with Connect Tech to bring their expertise in embedded and edge AI computing to stereo-vision systems powered by our Gemini 335Lg," said Mike McSweeney, VP of Global Sales at Orbbec. "Through this partnership, we are able to not only provide our customers with an industrial-class solution, but one that is available at an affordable price point."

The device is a rugged GMSL/FAKRA-enabled depth camera built for long-range, industrial-grade stereo vision, supplying high-accuracy 3D sensing in dynamic environments. Connect Tech's Anvil-RX is a rugged embedded system built on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. Fully IP67-rated, with M12 and sealed PC connectors, this powerful edge system can be deployed for mission-critical applications in harsh environments and is ready to withstand even the most compute-intensive AI applications with its power-efficient and feature-rich design.

Connect Tech is a longstanding NVIDIA Elite Partner, working with the Jetson platform for ten years and supplying a wide array of readily available solutions for the entire platform, including edge devices, carrier boards, thermal solutions, board support packages, and advanced ROS-ready platforms for robotics applications. Orbbec has also been an NVIDIA Preferred Partner for several years, which brings deeper integration between its advanced 3D cameras and its edge AI platforms to the benefit of NVIDIA developers.

"Supporting Orbbec's new Gemini series camera across USB, GMSL, and Ethernet interfaces strengthens our ability to provide reliable, high-performance Edge AI platforms," said Rob Callaghan, chief product officer, Connect Tech. "This collaboration enables developers a streamlined path to integrate advanced 3D vision into autonomous machines and robotics using Connect Tech systems."
