STVision has its roots in image processing since 1979. We have developed our own software standard, with special focus on industrial vision and optical measurement since 1989.
All our algorithms and tools had to prove its reliability and precision in the rough production environment and we could improve through generations of computer and software standards: Windows 2000 based systems.
Our systems had to pass severe production acceptance tests, most of them are still in production today and are used to assure the quality of parts in electronic watches, microprocessors, mobile phones, smart cards, ABS break systems for cars, precision writing instruments and many more.
