At the same time, both companies will expand their market coverage for machine vision applications around the world. Their globally unique and highly advanced product portfolios will complement each other, offering customers a one-stop shop for all products and image processing applications for production in future.

Together, these pioneers in 3D measuring technology and 3D robot guidance are taking the next step in Industry 4.0, with the aim of making smart factory automation even smarter. To do so, they will combine their technologies for the new generation of 3D products with the integration of Industry 4.0 standards for in-line, at-line and off-line applications.

The new strategic partners have a clear goal: expand market share in America and the Asia Pacific region to over 50 percent.
