INDUSTRIES
Industries We Serve
The industries where our industrial automation, machine vision, process automation and digital factory products are typically applied, with the application areas in each. From every topic you can move on to the related product group.
Automotive
In automotive manufacturing every part must be traceable and every assembly verified without error. High line speeds demand reliable results from both vision and sensors within short cycle times.
Typical applications
- Traceability via direct part marking (DPM) and code reading
- Assembly completeness and part presence verification
- Weld and surface defect inspection
- Robot guidance and positioning

Food & Beverage
Food lines combine hygiene, washdown resistance and high speed. Label and expiry date verification, together with fill level control, directly reduce recall risk.
Typical applications
- Label, batch code and expiry date verification
- Fill level and cap/seal inspection
- Packaging integrity inspection
- Flow, level and temperature measurement in the process line

Pharmaceutical & Medical Device
Here inspection is not only about quality but regulatory compliance. Readability of serial numbers, UDI and GS1 codes, and packaging integrity, must be documentable.
Typical applications
- Serialisation and UDI/GS1 code verification
- Blister and packaging integrity inspection
- Label presence and legibility checking
- Cleanroom-compatible sensing solutions

Electronics & Semiconductor
As component sizes shrink, inspection resolution and repeatability become decisive. Micron-scale defects require the right combination of high-resolution camera and lens.
Typical applications
- PCB placement and solder inspection
- Micro-component presence and position verification
- Wafer and die surface defect detection
- Reading of small 2D codes

Metal & Metalworking
Reflective metal surfaces and harsh line conditions challenge both lighting and sensor durability. Surface defects must be caught on continuously moving material.
Typical applications
- Sheet and coil surface defect inspection
- Dimensional and profile measurement
- Position sensing under heavy-industry conditions
- Weld and cut verification
Related product groups
Plastics, Film & Packaging
On roll-processed materials, defects must be caught across the full width without stopping the line. This is the classic application area for line scan cameras with encoder synchronisation.
Typical applications
- Film and sheet surface defect inspection
- Print and colour verification
- Packaging fill and seal inspection
- Process measurement on the extrusion line

Logistics & Warehousing
In warehouses and distribution centres a failed read turns directly into a missorted parcel. On fast conveyors every carton must be read reliably, from any angle and with variable code quality.
Typical applications
- Barcode/2D code reading on cartons and parcels
- Mobile reading with handheld terminals
- Dimensioning and volume calculation
- Presence and position sensing on the conveyor

Energy & Process Plants
In water, chemical, energy and infrastructure plants, measurement continuity and field durability are essential. Carrying data from remote points to the centre is part of the solution.
Typical applications
- Flow, level, pressure and temperature measurement
- Water/chemical quality monitoring with analyser transmitters
- Control valves and actuators
- Field data acquisition with remote terminal units (RTU)
