Despite global market disruptions like the tariff dispute, automotive recession and an overall challenging business environment, VisiConsult X-ray Systems & Solutions GmbH was able to achieve another record growth in 2019. This is also shown by the fact, that the company received several reputable technology and economic awards.

As a supplier of digitization solutions, which are crucial to implement Industry 4.0 technology, the products of VisiConsult were in high demand. Data is the oil of Industry 4.0 and the better the accuracy the better the efficiency gains achieved through smart factory solutions. This can be achieved by the highly automated X-ray based chip counters developed and produced by VisiConsult.

These units are placed in staging areas, warehouses or material receiving areas to ensure the physical quantities of SMD components on the reels or in trays match the digital data in ERP or MES systems. With this technology the time for obtaining the count can be reduced from 3 minutes (manual) to less than 10 seconds per reel. This allows a very quick ROI and massive savings.

VisiConsult expects another strong year 2020 and will invest into more production capacities and product development. We will invest over 10 Million Euro in new facilities and R&D to stay the global market leader in our sector.
