Company info sheet for:


"High performance imaging has emerged from its origins as an exotic technology to become reliable, cost effective, and increasingly widespread.  Datacube has played a major role in this evolution, with successful applications in manufacturing, medicine, and a diverse range of other areas."

"Beginning in 1979, Datacube founders built a company around the idea that advanced silicon technologies would provide breakthroughs in price and performance for exceptionally fast, highly precise manipulation of images -- enabling performance of a wide range of inspection and visualization tasks.  Pioneering a series of leading-edge products, Datacube became the premier supplier of sophisticated image processing hardware. Over the past seventeen years, Datacube has introduced a steady stream of increasingly powerful and less costly image processing tools, including a number of industry firsts."

"Today, Datacube remains a closely held company in which the founders are still active. Datacube has approximately 140 employees in the Danvers, MA World Headquarters, at three other US Regional Sales & Support Centers, and a sales and support center in the UK. Datacube products are sold world-wide, primarily through the direct sales network in the US, and through long-term distributor arrangements in Europe and the Middle East, and in the Asia/Pacific Rim region. Areas outside of North America not covered by distributors are serviced through the International Sales Department working out of Danvers, MA."

"Datacube's business philosophy is to provide solutions that optimize price/performance, mostly with a group of standard products based on open-system industry standards. With a background as a supplier to the military, Datacube achieves exceptional MTBF by rigorously testing all hardware. Building on a long standing commitment to quality, Datacube recently completed a 2+ year process of enhancing and documenting quality procedures and achieved ISO 9001 Certification through TUV America, an independent third-party auditor."

"Datacube is divided into specialized product groups to provide solutions tailored to the challenges of medical imaging, machine vision, and continuous web inspection. While these groups are the fastest growing area of the business, the company remains an important supplier to traditional markets in  R&D, aerospace, and defense. Unique applications, often requiring custom design and engineering, are also part of the business."

"While competitor's products utilize moderate performance DSP-based technology or inflexible, limited bandwidth pipeline imitations, current Datacube pipeline image processing products -- integrated systems, fourth- and fifth-generation image processing sub-systems, advanced software tools, digital image recorders, display controllers, and other speciality boards -- remain the technology-leading industry standard. These products, along with a comprehensive range of services, an engineering staff with unmatched experience, and a long-standing corporate focus solely on image processing, combine to provide system designers and OEMs with highly integrated, exceptionally reliable, single-vendor imaging solutions that minimize cost and time-to-market."
