Powerful vision systems for factory automation
Modern production systems utilise high-performance automation components such as robots for safe, high-quality, fault-free and profitable production. Machine vision has become established as an economical method for automated visual quality control and is thus an ideal tool to increase the profitability of companies and strengthen their competitiveness.
STEMMER IMAGING is one of the leading providers in machine vision and offers a comprehensive service package for the design of inline inspection systems, ranging from hardware and software from renowned manufacturers to extensive planning support. High-performance cameras, intelligent machine vision algorithms and innovative lighting ensure maximum precision during inspection as well as reliable synchronisation of all automation components.
100% quality for inline inspections
State-of-the-art components and multiple inspection stations enable 100 % quality control – from product identification to complex measurement tasks. Leading-edge machine vision systems perform all inspection processes inline and at full production speed, enabling higher fault-free output.
Fully traceable products
Traceability technologies based on machine vision enable fully traceable components and processes up to the end product. The collected data is the key to continuous optimisation of all production steps during operation. Our experts will be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice and support to design your individual vision solution.

Optimising manual assembly
Some products still require manual assembly or collaboration between humans and robots. This is another area where STEMMER IMAGING can help implementing automated quality checks and optimising production processes with state-of-the-art vision components.
Smart assembly support
Smart vision systems facilitate your manual assembly with a wide range of measurement and inspection tools. Assembly errors are displayed on the monitor.
Automated safety checks
Machine vision systems ensure that only appropriately trained operators can work on a particular assembly.
Application examples in factory automation
Take a look at our application examples to get an idea of how easy it is to optimise your quality checks with customised inspection systems. We will be happy to show you further applications in the field of factory automation.
Collaboration between humans and robots without safety fences is constantly growing. With intelligent 3D imaging systems from LMI Technologies, the experts at STEMMER IMAGING enable the collaborative robots from Universal Robots to perform demanding pick-and-place tasks. They can grip objects and move them to a target point without any unwanted collisions – together with their human colleagues.
For Kautex Textron, one of the top 100 Tier 1 supplier to global automotive OEMs, STEMMER IMAGING developed an automated inspection system in conjunction with Envisage Systems Ltd, that significantly improved the manual assembly processes. The vision system, which is fully integrated into the assembly process, enables an 87% reduction in the total number of defects and ensures 100% quality control of all products.
"For us, it was an incredible success to achieve 100% quality control using an automated inspection system for manual assembly. The system provides the flexibility to adapt to new or modified variants. Kautex has now adopted the system as standard and uses it for all new projects.”
