Lighting the way to serious ROI

Promation is your machine vision expert. With expertise in R&D and real-world Industrial applications, our teams push the limits of what’s possible for vision-guided robotics.

With deep experience borne from decades in automation for the automotive and nuclear industries, we’ve developed the skills and know-how you need to achieve your business goals—pick-and-place systems, part inspection and selection, barcode scanning and much more.

A cobot with vision capabilities hangs above an assembly line.

Innovation at work—the Promation Vision Lab

The cornerstone of our machine vision practice, the Promation Vision Lab is used for the testing of customers’ applications to minimize a risk of miscalculation and reduce delivery time. The Vision Lab is for training and strengthening our internal teams, and for demonstrating vision solutions to our customers prior to placing an order. 


For our clients, the Vision lab offers an opportunity to set up a real-world challenge in the lab, and allows Promation to innovate a solution, and undertake proof-of-concept studies without shutting down your assembly line. The Vision lab lets us test:

  • Cameras—optimizing the camera type and specification for the application
  • Lighting—how does light in your facility affect your application
  • Lensing—does your solution require macro- or micro-lensing
  • Filtering—how will filtering impact your vision application

  • Plastic fan propeller 3D printing process

    Industry 4.0—industrial applications
