MVTec Software and Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. strengthen collaboration within MVTec’s Technology Partner Program
MVTec also provides an interface to Mitsubishi's MELSEC PLCs. As part of this strategic partnership, these existing measures will now be consolidated under a unified framework to optimize collaboration and ensure the sustainable integration of Mitsubishi products into the MVTec portfolio.
Munich, June 11, 2024 - MVTec Software GmbH (www.mvtec.com), a leading international manufacturer of machine vision software, announces the inclusion of Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. in the MVTec Technology Partner Program. All models of the Mitsubishi Contact Image Sensors (CIS) use standard interfaces and are therefore directly compatible with MVTec's software products. MVTec also provides an interface to Mitsubishi's MELSEC PLCs. As part of this strategic partnership, these existing measures will now be consolidated under a unified framework to optimize collaboration and ensure the sustainable integration of Mitsubishi products into the MVTec portfolio.
The partners will be showcasing a first highlight of this cooperation at the Battery Show Europe 2024 in Stuttgart, taking place from June 18 to 20. Visitors can experience an impressive demo at the MVTec booth (hall 6, booth E-09), where Mitsubishi's CIS sensor is used for the inspection of a coated electrode foil. Concurrently, Mitsubishi Electric will demonstrate the performance of MVTec HALCON at their own booth (hall 10, booth H-16), showcasing an application for surface inspection of a coated electrode foil, including edge detection.
"The joining of Mitsubishi Electric in our Technology Partner Program is a significant step for MVTec. 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," says Klaus Schrenker, Business Development Manager at MVTec Software.
Jan Friedrich, Business Development Manager CIS Systems at Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V., adds: "The partnership with MVTec enables us to provide our customers with powerful inspection solutions. We look forward to showcasing the fruits of this collaboration live at the Battery Show in Stuttgart."
The Battery Show Europe provides an ideal platform to witness the synergies of this partnership in action. Visit MVTec and Mitsubishi Electric to learn about the latest technologies and applications in surface inspection.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
