About Machine Vision Makers
Machine Vision Makers specializes in the development of industrial machine vision solutions based on the HALCON image processing library. The founders Andreas Heindl and Dr. Stefan Rahmann built their HALCON expertise directly at the manufacturer MVTec Software GmbH and have more than 20 years of experience in industrial image processing projects. The range of services includes complex vision modules, project solutions and product developments, complete solutions with graphical user interfaces and integration into customer-specific frameworks, embedded vision with web-based GUIs, and HALCON training. The methods employed range from classical algorithms to machine learning and 3D measurement to AI-assisted defect detection, OCR and code reading. Projects come, among others, from the steel, metal, automotive, semiconductor, electronics, wood, glass, logistics, food, and pharmaceutical industries. As an MVTec Certified Integration Partner, the company works closely with MVTec Software GmbH.
