What Corpex does
Corpex (CORPEX) is a Canadian industrial technology company headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, that builds AI-powered machine vision systems for real-time inspection, dimensional measurement, and quality control on factory production lines. The firm serves manufacturers primarily in wire and cable production, with adjacent deployments in bottling/packaging and warehousing/logistics. Its commercial focus is enterprise industrial customers running high-speed continuous production that cannot rely on post-production manual inspection.
The product portfolio centers on the CMVS (Cable Measuring Vision System) family, available in multiple models (C29 Express, 35, 55, 100, 125) covering cable outside diameters from 4 mm to 125 mm with stated measurement accuracy of ±0.001 inches (≈±0.0254 mm) at line speeds up to 80 ft/min. This is complemented by the EMVS (Environmental Machine Vision System) with an optional Thermo Inspection module for armored cable defect and thermal-anomaly detection, plus ancillary systems for copper taping inspection, reel and line monitoring, surface defect detection on ESP cables, bottle cap and fill-level inspection, OCR-based label verification, and AI-driven box and pallet inspection. Underlying the portfolio is a hybrid AI and machine vision stacking architecture aimed at eliminating both false positives and false negatives, multi-modal sensing (visible, thermal, OCR), and integration with customer PLC, SCADA, MES, ERP, and OPC environments for closed-loop process automation and audit-grade traceability.
CORPEX generates revenue through a combination of custom-configured hardware sales, onsite system integration and installation services, and recurring industrial IT and managed-automation services, priced via quote per customer specification under multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by exhibition-driven demand generation at industry trade shows (wire Düsseldorf, FABTECH Canada, Made in Canada Expo, Canadian Summit on Food Safety & Regulation) and a strategic co-exhibition partnership with armouring equipment maker CALMEC. The firm has disclosed no funding, no investor backing, and no revenue figures, and operates with a small (~10-employee) team led by Managing Director/CTO Peter Spitzer.
