01 Challenges

In today’s advanced monitoring applications, many critical features remain invisible to the naked eye and traditional imaging technologies. We’re tackling obstacles like the nuanced spectroscopic responses of materials, where conventional cameras fall short. The real challenge lies in efficiently processing this complex data and seamlessly integrating these solutions into the demanding environments of industrial facilities and production lines.

02 Our Approach

Our solution expands vision systems by tailoring them to specific needs utilizing special in-house developed lighting and custom bandpass filters. This enables us to push forward some image features not visible in normal conditions, such as various contaminants, different object anomalies, or simply, the physical properties of monitored objects.
