FAQ
Do you have questions about our services, technologies, or how we work together? We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions for you.
What exactly does ATEsystem do, and how can it help me?
We help companies manufacture with higher quality and greater reliability, whether it involves production automation or quality control. We use state-of-the-art inspection systems and 2D and 3D camera solutions, and when no off-the-shelf solution exists on the market, we develop our own—custom hardware and software tailored specifically to your needs. We’ll also supply you with high-quality components (cameras, lenses, lighting) and ensure they’re properly integrated into the system. We’ll design and manufacture the mechanical parts of the equipment so they fit seamlessly into your operations.
Who are your customers?
We most often work with companies in the automotive, electronics, and manufacturing industries. However, we also have experience in mechanical engineering, metalworking, the plastics and rubber industries, the food industry, and the beverage sector. Our solutions are also used in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, logistics, energy, and research and development.
Do you provide custom solutions or just off-the-shelf products?
Both. The foundation of our work is solutions tailored to your specific needs. At the same time, our portfolio includes proven components and our own products, which we integrate into these solutions, so you don’t have to choose one or the other.
What does our collaboration look like? From the initial inquiry to launch?
We’ll start by thoroughly reviewing your problem and requirements. Then we’ll assess what’s feasible, create a feasibility study, and propose a concrete solution. Once the proposal is approved and the contract is signed, we’ll begin development and ongoing testing—flexibly, partly at our facilities and partly directly at your site. Finally, we’ll install everything, launch it, and hand it over as a fully functional system ready for use.
What technologies do you work with?
Mainly 2D and 3D visual inspection and advanced image analysis. We use both traditional image recognition methods and deep learning via neural networks. Our systems handle dimensional and shape inspection, label detection, assembly checks, and material application. We also work with visual robot navigation and microscopic inspection. We are also a system integrator for NI products and program in LabVIEW, for example.
How does the consultation and testing process work before implementation?
We’d love to talk with you first about what you need; the initial consultation is free. We test new solutions continuously throughout the entire development process, both in our own facilities and directly at your site. We want to be sure it will work before we actually launch it.
What if I already have a solution but need help?
Our work doesn’t end when we hand over the project. We’re here for you even after launch, no matter what issues arise or what needs to be adjusted. We handle support quickly and always tailor our approach to your specific situation. Our goal is to ensure everything runs reliably without unnecessary downtime. Just let us know.
