Prisma became a representative for Parsytec in November 2000.
Founded in Aachen in 1985, Parsytec was one of the world pioneers in computer
systems for parallel processing - a technology which rapidly took on a key role
in a large number of applications.
As an OEM supplier, Parsytec developed software and components for computerised
'see and analyse' systems. These include, for example, document readers for handwriting,
mail-sorting equipment, aircraft baggage inspection systems or devices for component
inspection in the chip industry. The Surface Inspection Division was created in
1996 on the basis of the experience and insights obtained in the Machine Vision
area. The automatic control of surfaces at full production speed is becoming an
evermore pressing need.
Parsytec's third generation inspection systems have made it possible for the
first time to meet the demanding requirements of the processing industries. The
fast growth in the number of customers testifies to the rapid and broad acceptance
of the Parsytec approach. Consequently Parsytec decided in 1997 to focus all of
its resources on expanding this new area of business.
At the present time, against a background of rapid sales growth, a staff of more
than 100 are concentrating on the development and distribution of the automatic
surface inspection systems. As a result, Parsytec is one of the leading European
companies supplying products for web inspection.
