About Procemex
Procemex is a Finnish technology company specializing in integrated Web Monitoring, Web Inspection and Machine Vision systems for the pulp, paper and board industry. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Central Finland with regional offices in the USA, Germany and Japan, the company develops and manufactures camera-based inspection systems, including the OnePlatform platform, 12-megapixel Crystal Smartcameras, Flex High-Speed cameras, ProClean Pinhole technology, Eco Strobe LED lights and the Dirt Count Analyzer. The portfolio covers web inspection, web break monitoring, 3D defect detection, roll quality inspection, Dry Line Analysis and ATC automation for Slitter Winders. The core competence lies in optical imaging and image processing; the systems are designed to be future-proof and backward compatible and can be extended with integrated wet-end inspection (Pinhole WIS) and Machine Vision applications. Procemex has delivered more than 1 100 systems and over 22 000 Smartcameras to more than 50 countries, including China, Saudi Arabia, the USA, Sweden, the Netherlands and Tasmania. The company employs over 100 vision systems experts and, in addition to system deliveries, also offers upgrades of third-party systems as well as service contracts with remote diagnostics, reporting, annual visits and spare parts service.
