Summary

The Spanish company counts with more than ten years’ experience, with technologies related with photonics and imaging solutions for special and hazardous conditions. Counting with an R&D department and proprietary products, offers its development and design experience in combining different technologies for image capturing processes. They seek to establish collaborations with experts and/or industrial partners under comercial with technical assistance, technical or joint venture agreements.

Description

The company was created in 2008 in Madrid (Spain) initially as a distributor of imaging products (B2B) in Portugal and Spain, dealing with industrial and scientific cameras (UV, VIS, IR, thermal, spectral,…), lenses, optics and accessories, soon enlarge its activites with a line of photonic products (lasers and light sources, laser safety, photonic instrumentation).

As a result, nowadays the company is well positioned as one of the top distributors of photonic and imaging products in spanish national market. Their technological knowledge and experience grew in paralell with their distribuiton business line. Providing solutions to their customers' request led them to the development of custom solutions and thus the creation of a small R&D department, focused on developing new solutions building up new systems from innovative integrations of components and subsystems.

Thanks to solving increasing challenging tasks, the company gains market and technical insight initiating a proprietary product line in the visible machine vision cameras field. During the past 3 years, they have developed an special visible field camera with a unique technology that allows a superb peformance under vibration or hit conditions. Machine vision cameras when used under extreme hazard conditions or enviroments, are protected by an external housing capable to neutralize or absorb the efects of the operations possible hazards.Actual solutions for hit and vibration protection in special evniroments are complex and expensive and do not assure image capture, implying unwanted reset or restarted loses which in special cases can cost important damages or economic losses that could be avoided.

Thanks to their international market experience, changing side from the a buyer to a seller position has been a smooth transition. Exporting is now a reality within the firm since the first units were shipped in 2019 and continued in 2020. The company has set its first steps for an internationalisation plan following its strategy development and wants to position itself as an imaging system solutions developer with products of improved reliability capable to work under special operations conditions. Potential users are those in sectors close to emergency, civil protection, security or defense related segments.

They offer their products and their r&d services, for new developments in critical imaging systems, and cameras ruggedization process (not ruggedization of standard off-the-shelf cameras).

Considering the market channels and agents, they preferably look for customers/partners as big or small companies developing imaging systems for the above cited segments, willing to stablish collaborations under technical or commercial with technical assistance agrements or even joint ventures if conditions are set for it.

Advantages & innovations

Nowadays, existing machine vision cameras when working in special enviroments or under demanding coniditions, lose focus and zoom when impacted with any weak force and the communication is lost. They must be manually reset or even powered on and off to be operational again. Traditional ways to solve this problems in vision systems, imply that the machine vision cameras have to be hosted in cumbersome and costly housings that protect them, minimizing adverse conditions and absorbing vibrations and possible impacts. To solve this kind of problem with better results, the spanish company has developed a set of procedures and technologies which have given rise to a new set of machine vision camera with ruggedized focus and zoom. Capable to resist impacts of 40G, the camera shows no deadtime when hit under those conditions, assuring communications without lacks of performance, it keeps functioning at full response. The camera design integrates features of reliable models, from known models cameras widely used in optoelectronic systems even in defense applications), with innovative modifications regarding internal hardware and software components. Communications and footprint are been kept close to the standard used components, therefore, repair, maintenance or exchanging modules, is been simplified, becoming a transparent process to end users, or imaging systems integrators/developers. Thanks to this, their camera is ideal for the development of new systems or for the improvement in compatible existing ones.
