AKAtech designs, develops, and markets industrial vision systems that “go beyond images”. Headquartered in Ecublens, near Lausanne, Switzerland, AKAtech specializes in leading-edge machine-vision sensors and cameras, high-quality lightings and advanced hardware and software to deliver best-engineered solutions for quality control, identification and control manufacturing processes.
Founded in the late 80's, AKAtech began first to serve the international postal administrations and OEM of sorting machines by providing them high-end vision systems for postage detection and recognition. The company's know-how in the field of high-speed image, data processing and CMOS image sensor integration allowed then to rapidly expand its activities to other markets and industries, such as pharmaceutical, packaging and manufacturing industries. In July 2003, AKAtech consolidated its position as a major player on the machine vision market by acquiring the camera division of Fastcom Technology, with which the company had previously collaborated in the development of new CMOS cameras. Now a day, AKAtech has reached a successful track record, and has become an established supplier to leading international companies. And the future looks fine, with innovative signal processing concepts and new products to meet the daily and future needs of AKAtech's customers.
