MVT is an independent vision systems integrator. This means that we are able to choose any vision systems software and hardware for a particular application and can therefore give our customers a solution that closely matches their requirements. We are able to provide both off-the-shelf vision systems and customised solutions to ensure that we can meet our customers' needs.

The core of machine vision is measurement (including microscope-based measurement), presence/absence checking, colour analysis and position-checking. The 'parts' to be checked by vision systems may be metal, plastic, rubber or even food such as pies or fruit. We have the expertise to provide solutions to many diverse vision problems. We routinely provide feasibility trials to show a potential customer how a task may be completed. Vision systems are usually installed 'online' and do not restrict conveyor or production line speeds.
