TKH Vision

What TKH Vision does

TKH Vision is a strategic business unit of Netherlands-based TKH Group, operating as a global integrated machine vision group through seven wholly-owned member companies: Allied Vision, Chromasens, Euresys, LMI Technologies, Mikrotron, NET, and SVS-Vistek. Headquartered in Germany (with the legal entity Allied Vision Technologies GmbH in Stadtroda and SVS-Vistek in Gilching), the group maintains regional offices in Germany (Konstanz), Italy (Brescia), and the United States (Cupertino), plus member-company sites in Belgium (Seraing) and Canada (Vancouver).

The group's technology portfolio spans 2D and 3D machine vision, covering UV, visible, NIR, IR, and SWIR spectral ranges. Core offerings include industrial area scan and line scan cameras (Allied Vision Alvium platform, SVS-Vistek shr661/hr65, Mikrotron EoSens at 478+ fps), 3D sensors and laser line profilers (LMI Gocator G2/G3/G5), stereo line scan and LED illumination (Chromasens 3DPIXA, allPIXA evo, CORONA II), high-performance frame grabbers and FPGA IP cores for GigE Vision, CoaXPress, USB3 Vision, and MIPI standards (Euresys), and FPGA-based smart vision systems with onboard processing (NET iam, Corsight, HDselect for medical endoscopy). Software offerings encompass image processing, sub-pixel measurement, alignment, OCR, barcode reading, 3D inspection, and deep learning classification via Euresys.

TKH Vision generates revenue primarily through industrial hardware sales (cameras, sensors, frame grabbers, optics, LED illumination), complemented by FPGA IP licensing and a higher-touch customized turnkey solutions service (TKH Vision Solutions) covering project evaluation, development, volume production, support, repair, and redesign. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through regional direct offices, the Konstanz Solution Center, member-brand websites, and lifecycle service engagements. Primary customers are machine builders and system integrators serving industrial manufacturing, with secondary use cases in medical endoscopy and high-speed motion analysis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct customer engagement.
