The global market keeps expanding. In order to follow Southeast Asian customers, Opto Engineering decides to set up the Opto Engineering South East Asia Ltd. branch office in Taipei, Taiwan. In the same year, the second Joint Venture (JV) between Opto Engineering and Sensure, SENSOE, is established. SENSOE manufactures ALBERT, a deep-learning vision system for the food industry, and also develops other systems based on artificial intelligence. Opto Engineering continues to increase its technological competence through the foundation of the third JV, OEGAMI, together with its partner IMAGO. OEGAMI manufactures optical cameras that can provide optimized images for metrology and quality control applications. The management organizational model is extended to all subsidiaries and a group management model is created: the integrated logistics model that regulates the exchange of goods between the group companies becomes operational. Opto Engineering's market placement now covers all the component segments needed to solve vision applications: optics, illuminators, accessories, software, cameras and vision systems.
