MercuryMS s.r.o

What MercuryMS s.r.o does

Mercury MS, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company headquartered in Brno that develops and distributes non-contact optical measurement solutions based on Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Its flagship product, Mercury RT software, processes images from single or stereo camera pairs to compute 2D and 3D full-field displacement, deformation, strain, and vibration data on material surfaces. The Mercury RT platform is modular, with a 2D module, a 3D module, and six specialized extensions: FormSys (Forming Limit Curve analysis under ISO 12004), Vibrography (FFT, octave, Campbell, and modal analysis), CAD/FEA validation, SEM-DIC, Thermography, and Crack Extension (using a DNN for crack segmentation under ASTM E647, D5528, and 3762). Mercury RT supports cameras from Basler, IDS, XIMEA, FLIR/Spinnaker, PointGrey, and Chronos (Kron Technologies), and integrates with analog/digital testing machines for automated evaluation of yield strength, modulus, and Poisson's ratio.

The AMEE product line (AMEE 2D, AMEE 3D, AMEE 2D VEX, AMEE 3D VEX, AMEE Vibro) bundles Mercury RT with camera hardware into turnkey optical measurement systems, with the VEX extensometers classified under ISO 9513 (Class 0.5, 1, 2) and ASTM E83 (Class B-1). MercuryMS also distributes Psylotech multi-scale mechanical testing platforms (µTS series) and Kron Technologies Chronos high-speed cameras, making it a one-stop integrator for DIC + testing rigs. Revenue is generated through Mercury RT software licenses (one-time), AMEE hardware systems, and professional services (installation, training, application engineering), with pricing quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. A free 14-day full-featured software trial with watermarked output supports product-led evaluation.

The company serves industrial, scientific, and academic customers in materials testing, vibration analysis, structural integrity, and high-temperature applications. It sells through a global distributor network covering 35+ countries plus a direct Netherlands office (opened September 2025) and an exclusive Chinese distribution partner (Univer, signed May 2025). Named reference customers include JAXA, Airbus, Harley-Davidson, Lucid, Tokyo Gas, Dutch Railways, AT&S, Lotte Chemical, DRDO India, KIMS, KRICT, Seoul National University, UNSW, and Swinburne University, spanning aerospace, automotive, energy, rail, electronics, defense, and research segments. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed venture funding and operates as a niche specialist in the global DIC software market.

Broad incumbents

• Instron (Illinois Tool Works): Instron is the leading global supplier of mechanical and materials testing instruments (universal testing machines, extensometers), forming the incumbent hardware ecosystem into which MercuryMS's AMEE 2D/3D VEX video extensometers and DIC software are sold as non-contact alternatives.
• GOM (ZEISS QualityTech): ZEISS QualityTech (formerly GOM) is the dominant global vendor of optical 3D metrology and DIC-based measurement systems for industrial inspection and materials testing; its ARAMIS and GOM Correlate products directly overlap MercuryMS's Mercury RT and AMEE 2D/3D systems, but it operates at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• MTS Systems: MTS Systems provides mechanical testing and simulation platforms for aerospace, automotive, and materials research; their extensometer and testing product lines compete with MercuryMS's video extensometer positioning and frequently pair with DIC software in shared labs.
• Shimadzu (Testing & Industrial): Shimadzu is a major Japanese manufacturer of materials testing machines and extensometers; the MercuryMS Japanese distributor Nobby tech positions against Shimadzu testing installations, and Shimadzu's testing instruments are common hosts for MercuryRT integrations in Japan.

Direct peers

• Correlated Solutions: Correlated Solutions is the longest-standing US-headquartered commercial vendor of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) software (VIC-2D / VIC-3D / VIC-Snap) plus optical measurement systems for materials testing — the most direct competitor to MercuryMS's Mercury RT and AMEE systems across academic, aerospace, and automotive research labs.
• LaVision: LaVision (Germany) supplies DIC software (DaVis) and optical measurement systems for fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, and materials testing, making it a close functional peer to MercuryMS in academic and industrial DIC laboratories.
• Trilion Quality Systems: Trilion (originally Strainmaster, US) develops optical DIC systems and ARAMIS-class 3D measurement hardware for dynamic and quasi-static testing, directly comparable to MercuryMS's AMEE 2D/3D and AMEE Vibro product lines.

Others

• Straton (Flir/Teledyne Vision Solutions): FLIR/Teledyne supplies industrial and thermal cameras (Blackfly, FLIR X series) that integrate with Mercury RT and also compete with MercuryMS at the camera/illumination hardware layer of optical DIC test rigs.
• Kron Technologies: Kron Technologies is MercuryMS's distribution partner for Chronos high-speed cameras, but is also an adjacent hardware vendor with its own high-speed imaging systems used in dynamic materials testing applications where Mercury RT AMEE HS competes indirectly.

Emerging players

• MatchID: MatchID (Belgium) offers MatchID 2D/3D DIC software focused on academic and emerging industrial users with a modular, customizable platform similar in philosophy to Mercury RT's extensible architecture.
