How Industry Leaders Are Using Zivid 3 in Robotic Automation

Written by Marie Bodet | 2025-11-25

The launch of Zivid 3 marks a new chapter for high-performance 3D vision in large-scale robotic automation. But the most compelling proof of its value doesn’t come from us — it comes from our customers.

Two automation leaders, Mujin (Japan) and Nomagic (Poland), recently shared how the new Zivid 3 is transforming their capabilities in warehouse and logistics automation. From millimeter-accurate detection at long working distances to dramatically reduced setup time, their experiences highlight what Zivid 3 makes possible for real-world robot cells.

Mujin: hitting 99.9%+ performance with cleaner, more accurate 3D vision

When Mujin’s vision engineering team set out to improve performance in robotic picking, they identified two uncompromising requirements:

  • Exceptionally accurate point clouds
  • Minimal point-cloud noise — even in challenging scenes

Why? Because noise, accuracy, and dimension trueness directly determine whether a robot can consistently detect items, avoid collisions, and maintain stability over thousands of picks.

Finding the Right Camera for Millimeter-Level Precision

Their previous camera systems could not reliably deliver the stability needed for high-throughput warehouse environments. The new Zivid 3, however, changed that:

“It allows us to detect items within a few millimeters, handling them successfully without fail and pushing the boundary beyond 99.9% performance.” – Floris Gaisser, Computer Vision Team Lead, Mujin.

Thanks to Zivid 3’s precision and robustness, Mujin now achieves:

  • Fewer human interventions
  • Lower downtime
  • Higher throughput and reliability for their customers

Faster Deployment and Reduced Project Cost

For Mujin’s integration engineers, Zivid 3 isn’t only about performance — it’s also about ease of use:

  • Ready-made presets make it easy to start with stable configurations
  • User-friendly intrinsic calibration with real-time accuracy feedback
  • Long-term stability under temperature changes, humidity, and vibration

With Zivid 3, Mujin is not just improving existing systems; they’re solving problems that were previously out of reach:

“By solving problems we couldn’t solve before, we’re not just keeping up — we’re leading,”  says Floris.

 

Nomagic: scaling picking applications with long-range, high-quality vision

Across Europe, Nomagic designs robot handling systems for warehouses in e-commerce. As their projects evolved toward larger robots and bigger source containers, they needed a camera capable of delivering high-fidelity 3D data at significantly longer distances.

They looked for what was out there in the 3D camera market.

Finding the Right Fit for Large Workspaces

During a deep market evaluation, Nomagic compared leading 3D vision players. Zivid quickly stood out.

“We realized the product meets all our requirements — very high quality and very easy to set up.” – Filip Grzadkowski, Head of Engineering, Nomagic.

But it wasn’t only about specs. Nomagic emphasized the importance of working with a partner whose engineering culture matched theirs:

“The team moves quickly, reacts to feedback, and works with us toward the success of the customer project. It was just a great fit,”  says Filip.

Enter Zivid 3: Built for Bigger Robots and Bigger Volumes

When Nomagic learned about Zivid 3’s new long-range capabilities, they joined the early tester program. The result? Filip tells us: 

“It met all the promises. So far it’s working very, very well, and we are in the process of integrating it.”

With Zivid 3, Nomagic can:

  • Scan bigger boxes and deeper containers
  • Operate from larger robot heights
  • Capture clean, accurate point clouds across the entire bin

 

Why Zivid 3 matters to industrial automation

Across both customers, the same themes appear:

✔ Millimeter accuracy at long working distances: Essential for depalletizing, palletizing, and large-bin picking.

✔ Exceptional stability over time: Thermal stability, robust calibration, and reliable accuracy even in harsh environments.

✔ Fast integration and lower engineering cost: Presets, SDK tooling, and user-friendly workflows shorten time to deployment.

✔ A partner that moves at the speed of innovation: Feedback loops, co-development, and engineering support that match customer pace.

Whether in Tokyo or Warsaw, advanced automation companies are using Zivid 3 to reach levels of stability, robustness, and performance that were simply not accessible before.

Zivid 3 specs

Zivid 3 XL250 was built to help innovators solve problems, handle bigger workspaces, and push their robot cells to new heights. If you’re building demanding applications such as depalletizing or large-bin picking, Zivid 3 gives your robot the clarity it needs. Some specs:

  • 5m long distance: Built for stationary mounting and large working volumes, giving exceptional accuracy
  • 500 ms capture time: Making robots faster and capable of picking black, white, shiny, and even many transparent materials
  • 8 MP RGB + 3D: Delivering high-definition images and point clouds for every robot vision modality
