Company introduction
Leading software for machine vision MVTec Software is a leading international manufacturer of software for machine vision. Our products are used in a wide range of industries, such as semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, battery production, agriculture and food, as well as logistics. FOR INTELLIGENT INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION MVTec machine vision software MVTec's software enables applications such as surface inspection, optical quality control, robot guidance, identification, measurement, classification, and much more. In addition, it offers new automation solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things through the use of modern technologies such as 3D vision, deep learning, and embedded vision. Beyond standard software products, MVTec develops customized solutions – from consulting and prototyping to fully integrated systems. These solutions run on standard PCs or embedded platforms such as Arm®-based devices. Our team brings decades of experience in processing all types of image data, including 3D, infrared, hyperspectral, and X-ray. Founded in 1996 as a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich and FORWISS, MVTec is a family-owned company. Our highly qualified experts – some with more than 30 years of experience – drive innovation and ensure exceptional quality. At MVTec, people make the difference. Our team develops world-class machine vision software with passion and precision, constantly optimizing algorithms to meet tomorrow’s needs. As independent technology leaders, our employees focus fully on delivering the best solutions for our customers. Collaboration and trust shape our culture. We actively engage in international expert networks and the scientific community. At MVTec, a modern, agile work environment encourages creativity and flexibility, ensuring that new ideas quickly become reality. This commitment to excellence guarantees top quality, reliability, and long-term stability of our products. MVTec’s expertise is embodied in its products – HALCON, MERLIC, and the Deep Learning Tool. These solutions address different needs but share one foundation: advanced machine vision technology. Depending on project size, complexity, and programming requirements, users can choose HALCON, MERLIC, the Deep Learning Tool, or a combination of these. HALCON's integrated development environment HDevelop serves as the connecting link – it allows users to create custom tools in HALCON and integrate them directly into MERLIC, combining flexibility with ease of use. The Deep Learning Tool can be used both in combination with HALCON or MERLIC to best prepare image data for all deep learning applications. MVTec software is deployed worldwide in demanding industrial environments, from semiconductor and electronics manufacturing to battery production, logistics, and the food industry. Customers rely on HALCON, MERLIC, and the Deep Learning Tool for tasks such as surface inspection, quality control, robot guidance, identification, and classification—achieving higher accuracy, faster processes, and more robust automation in production. Cybersecurity and resilience are not one-time efforts, but ongoing processes that evolve with new challenges and technologies. We remain dedicated to maintaining the highest standards, continuously improving our practices and ensuring the reliability of our software. Taking responsibility for society and the environment is a fundamental part of MVTec's company guidelines.
