This partnership builds on an established relationship that began with HLDS driving hardware design and production for Position Imaging’s Amoeba™ computer vision module, the company’s unique vision, light, and laser guidance sensor.

HLDS, a joint venture established by LG Electronics and Hitachi Ltd., has been the global leader in the optical drive industry since 2001 and has shipped more than 1.4 billion units since its inception. The company is leveraging its experience and established customer networks in the APAC region to extend the reach of Position Imaging’s iPickup™ product line, expand HLDS’ product offerings and increase sales volume for the Amoeba™ computer vision module.

The Asia Pacific market presents a wide range of opportunities for our iPickup line, both residential and retail, and we are thrilled to open this market with HLDS.”
