MVTec Software, a supplier of machine vision software, has announced the introduction of Mitsubishi Electric Europe, an electronics and electrical equipment manufacturer, into its MVTec Technology Partner Program.
Within Mitsubishi’s range of contact image sensors (CIS), all models use a standard interface, meaning these solutions are directly compatible with its new partner’s software products.
The software company also offers an interface to Mitsubishi’s Melsec programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Through the new partnership, a unified framework to consolidate these existing factors will be established. It is hoped this will optimise opportunities for collaboration and ensure smooth and sustainable integration of Mitsubishi products into the MVTec portfolio.
“The joining of Mitsubishi Electric in our Technology Partner Program is a significant step for MVTec,” said Klaus Schrenker, business development manager at MVTec Software.
“With the support of the new CIS sensor and the MELSEC-PLCs, we expand the capabilities of our machine vision software and offer our customers innovative solutions for their challenges in the manufacturing industry.”
Jan Friedrich, business development manager, CIS systems, at Mitsubishi Electric, added: “The partnership with MVTec enables us to provide our customers with powerful inspection solutions.”
