What Selmatec Systems does

Selmatec Systems GmbH is a privately held German industrial technology company headquartered in Scharnebeck, Germany, specializing in robust machine vision systems and non-contact infrared (IR) temperature measurement solutions. The company combines IR cameras, line scanners, pyrometers, and visual imaging hardware — primarily sourced from Fluke Process Instruments / Raytek — with proprietary SelVision software to deliver turnkey inspection and process-monitoring systems. Its product portfolio spans three categories: IR Sensors (Compact, ThermAlert, Endurance series, MP300 line scanner, ThermoView cameras), IR Systems (a family of vertical-specific "Inspector" products such as BM-Inspector for battery assembly, TM-Inspector for heat treatment, CL-Inspector for ladle monitoring during casting, CB-Inspector for cooling beds, PV-Inspector for photovoltaic panels, plus numerous Raytek-branded industrial systems), and Vision Systems (FC-, CT-, DC-, PC-, RF-, GM-, SE-, SL-Inspector for furnace, centering, cold forming, and warm forming applications). The company has also added an SV600 Acoustic Camera for industrial sound source detection.

The firm operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market model with direct sales from its German headquarters and an international network of authorized service partners in the United States (AMEPA America), Turkey (BILLUR MAKINE), Mexico (DITEK), and India (Industrial Interface India 3i). Revenue is generated through hardware sales (IR sensors, cameras, line scanners, complete inspection systems), customized engineering services for application-specific solutions, and SelVision-based software including subscription/recurring elements. Pricing is contract-based with no public list prices, and products are sold under multi-year enterprise contracts. The company does not disclose financial information publicly and operates as an independent GmbH with no identified parent company, venture capital, or private equity backing.

Selmatec addresses customers across eleven industrial verticals — primary segments include automotive (press lines, paint shops, tire and brake production), steel (forging, hardening, ladle and torpedo monitoring, slag detection), and cement/lime manufacturing (rotary kiln monitoring, fire detection), with secondary segments in energy, glass, pharmaceutical, food, plastics, paper, chemical, and gypsum industries. The value proposition centers on contact-free temperature measurement, real-time anomaly detection, recipe-based OK/NOK feedback via OPC-UA integration to customer PLCs, data and image storage for traceability, and CSA-compliant cybersecurity software — sold as both standalone sensors and fully integrated turnkey solutions.

Core offering

Selmatec Systems GmbH designs, manufactures, and integrates industrial infrared temperature measurement devices and machine vision inspection systems for quality assurance and process monitoring. The product portfolio spans IR sensors (pyrometers, IR cameras, line scanners), IR systems (application-specific inspectors such as BM-Inspector for battery assembly, TM-Inspector for heat treatment, CL-Inspector for ladle casting, CB-Inspector for cooling beds), and visual vision systems (FC-Inspector, CT-Inspector, DC-Inspector, PC-Inspector), complemented by the proprietary SelVision software platform for recipe-based parameter analysis, OPC-UA PLC integration, and CSA-compliant cybersecurity.

Product overview

Selmatec Systems GmbH is a German industrial technology company specializing in robust Machine Vision systems and non-contact infrared temperature measurement solutions. The product portfolio is organized into three main categories: IR Sensors (including pyrometers, imaging IR sensors, line scanners, and stationary IR cameras from brands like Raytek and Fluke Process Instruments), IR Systems (comprehensive inspection and monitoring solutions such as BM-Inspector for battery assembly, TM-Inspector for heat treatment, CL-Inspector for ladle monitoring, CB-Inspector for cooling beds, plus specialized systems for photovoltaic panels, glass, cement, automotive dashboards, and forge presses), and Vision Systems (visual inspection systems including FC-Inspector for furnace monitoring, CT-Inspector for centering, DC-Inspector for cold forming, and PC-Inspector for warm forming). The company also offers the SV600 Acoustic Camera for acoustic imaging. Selmatec provides both standalone sensors and fully integrated turnkey solutions combining IR/vision hardware with proprietary software for quality assurance and process optimization across industries including automotive, steel, cement, glass, energy, and battery manufacturing.
