About Inspekto Inspekto is a German industrial company with Israeli DNA. Backed by leading industrial businesses from across the DACH region, the start-up is out to reshape the machine vision sector, introducing the first powerful entries into the new Autonomous Machine Category. “Inspekto’s work with our plants has been consistently useful and led us to make our first-ever direct investment in a start-up company.” “Steinbeis has a long history of working closely with German industrial manufacturers,” explained Uwe Haug, Member of the Board of Directors of Steinbeis GmbH & Co. KG für Technologietransfer. “We identified early on the strategic impact that Inspekto brings to German industry, across any vertical and vendor size, which is what drove us to make our investment in the company.” The company will officially launch at VISION 2018 in Stuttgart on November 6, when the product will be unveiled and become available for purchase. Inspekto’s S70 system is a small, smart, standalone visual QA product, which can be installed up to 1,000 times faster than a traditional solution, and at 1/10th of the cost. Inspekto Autonomous Machine Vision systems are designed to put the Machine Vision market on a one-way course, replacing existing integrator-centric solutions by ready- to-go out-of-the-box QA systems put at the very hands of the industrial plant QA manager. The systems are driven by Plug & Inspect™, the first integrator-less technology for visual quality inspection, gating and sorting, which eliminates the costly integration and customised developments that characterised traditional machine vision technology. www.inspekto.com.
