Your partner for machine vision and industrial automation

We are a systemhouse for industrial image processing, specialized in the integration of complex vision systems into machines and production environments.

Our team combines long-standing expertise in optics, electronics, software engineering, and automation technology with a clear mission:

Creating solutions that work reliably in real industrial conditions.

Experience from the field - not from the lab

Some of our engineers come directly from the world of machine and plant engineering. They understand what matters in real production environments: cycle times, robustness, maintainabiltiy and seamless integration. This practical background shapes every project we deliver, from feasibilty studies to full series integration.

We combine state-of-the-art AI and deep learning technologies with hands-on engineering experience. The result: vision systems that are technically clean, stable in operation, and built for long-term use in industrial environments.

What sets us apart as a system integrator

We think beyond the camera. Our team not only develops the machine vision solution itself, but ensures complete system integration into PLCs, robot controllers or fieldbuses. Through interdisciplinary collaboration we bring together machine vision, automation and image processing software into one coherent solution

Our strengths at a glance:

Extensive experience from numerous machine-building and OEM integration projects
Deep understanding of industrial processes and communication interface
In-house development, testing and calibration facilities
Short decision paths and direct access to our engineers
Sustainable support and training fro your teams

Teamwork & Responsibility

We believe that great machine vision solutions are built through teamwork by combining the perspectives of developers, engineers, and operators. Our approach is partnership-driven, we take responsibility until the system performs reliably in your machine.

phil-vision stands for engineering expertise, precision and pragmatism, We do not deliver systems that "almost fit", or "overengineered" solutions, but machine vision solutions that truly fit your application.

Whether you are developing a new machine or enhancing existing production lines with vision technology,
our team supprts you from the first concept to stable operation in the field.

Experience, system know-how, and passion for machine vision and image processing - that's phil-vision.
