About Autision Group
Autision Group GmbH is a mid-sized group of companies based in Munich that offers automated inspection systems and automation solutions based on robotics, machine vision and optical metrology. The umbrella brand unites four legally and economically independent subsidiaries: Automation W+R (surface inspection, active for over 35 years), Boll Automation (robotics and human-robot collaboration), Winspect (rope inspection for cable cars, conveyor systems and rope manufacturers) and Rixen Cableway (planning and construction of water-ski cableway systems, more than 500 systems realized). The services include surface and form inspection (including Robiscan), robot-based rework such as deburring and polishing (Robicut, Robomill), system design, plant engineering, software development, project management as well as service and maintenance. Customers include companies from the mould and tool-making industry as well as the cableway and conveyor system sector. With locations in Germany, France and Austria, the group is positioned across Europe and delivers systems worldwide.
