The Company · Creating Technologies

We are
machine vision engineers.

We combine camera technology, artificial intelligence and automation into industrial solutions. From the first test idea to integration into production.

Our work starts with the component and the question of what quality means in your application.

Our attitude

Experience shall be
to the solution.

CRETEC works on optical quality control, robot vision and customer-specific automation tasks. The experience of Automotive, Food & Beverage and Pharma ranges to electronics production.

We look at optics, lighting, software and mechanics together. The decisive factor is how a system works on real components and under production conditions.

Our philosophy

A good paratrooper tradition

Let us not lament,
We're getting results.

We are leading from the front!

In paratroopers, the highest rank is the first to touch the enemy ground and the last to leave it. We also live this in industry. We expect commitment, performance and pride from our leaders.

We stand together and fall together.

And our claim on ourselves is to be the spearhead. It is the most beautiful in front. This means in our field of “industrial machine vision”: experience, expertise, know-how and lifelong learning.

And let it be fun too ;

Expertise

Development.
Integrating.
Judgement.

Technical competence throughout the entire process from task clarification to the evaluation of an image processing solution.
