Ametek Surface Vision and Sensory Analytics will jointly develop new offerings that will provide customers with higher levels of data aggregation for the products they produce to maintain compliance with market requirements. This was announced by the two companies after reaching a strategic agreement that will enable them to better understand processing performance and identify optimization opportunities, as well as provide customers with significant cost savings and improved quality and throughput.

Both companies are fast-growing market leaders with a commitment to providing actionable in-process measurements, enabling operators to make improvements based on real-time data that will further improve productivity and product quality.

AMETEK Surface Vision offers robust and flexible solutions for continuous production processes in multiple industries through its advanced SmartView® and SmartAdvisor® systems for web and surface monitoring and inspection.

On the other hand, Sensory Analytics has become a world leader with its transformative ROI and EXR technologies for real-time coating thickness and film layer measurement, used to power its SpecMetrix in-line systems, offline quality control solutions and flexible OEM units.

The partnership also provides significant benefits to the world’s leading coil coating, converting and packaging companies that process flat profile products. These benefits include a combination of best-in-class solutions for in-process thickness gauging, as well as surface detection and classification.

According to Mike Hevey, Divisional Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of AMETEK Surface Vision, “Both companies operate in similar industries, with technologies on the same process lines. This partnership brings excellent synergies for our customers, as we can offer them unique integrated solutions. With our global service team, combined with Sensory Analytics’ technology leadership position in coating weight and thickness measurement, customers will have access to higher levels of service as well as pioneering technologies.”

Finally, Greg Frisby, global industry director for Sensory Analytics’ SpecMetrix systems, further emphasizes about the partnership that “we both share a commitment to customer support, technical innovation, process control and quality improvement that is unmatched by other industry offerings. Our unique technologies are non-contact, highly accurate and complementary, creating significant potential for new combined product and process data offerings that support industrial digitization.”
