What our customers say

Our modular product photography systems meet the requirements of our customers from various industries. By automating the photography process from shooting to background removal and individual post-processing through to uploading the product images, the time-to-market cycle is accelerated and costs reduced. See for yourself how simple and efficient product photography can be!

The automated product photography workflow

Once you have positioned the product thanks to practical tools in the live view, you scan the product number or enter it manually in the user interface and start the process.

The motorized turntable and high color rendering index daylight LEDs are controlled by our easy-to-use software, which is compatible with both Windows and Mac computers.

While the system captures the images and transfers them to the computer, you can check the background removal results in real time. Once all the desired perspectives have been photographed and the background is remouved , the automatic post-processing starts, including uploading the images, and you can prepare and photograph the next product.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How does background removal using AI work?

The background removal of product images using artificial intelligence (AI) works by using advanced algorithms that analyze and process the image. Through prior training with thousands of sample images, the AI recognizes the main object in the image and separates the product from the background. This creates an accurate mask that traces the contours of the product. This mask is used to remove the background so that only the product remains. The AI ensures that the edges of the object are clean and precise. This automated process speeds up the background removal of product images considerably and always ensures professional results.

Is the system compatible with different camera types?

In general, Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic cameras are compatible. Contact us to find out whether your camera model is supported.

How many shots can you take in an hour?
