Eckelmann has been developing sophisticated image processing solutions for the automation of machines and systems for 15 years. Discover exciting applications in electronics manufacturing, mechanical engineering, storage systems for pharmacies, material flow & logistics...
Image processing in reference applications
When image processing is integrated into machine control and processes, it becomes a universal tool for automation. In industry, it is increasingly becoming the measure of all things because it offers almost inexhaustible possibilities to control processes more effectively. This is where our strength lies as an automation partner with extensive know-how in the practical application of image processing solutions.
This is also shown by the selection of application examples. Please contact us. We will be happy to provide you with information on these and other references in the field of industrial image processing.
