Company Overview

ISRA Vision is a global technology provider specializing in industrial image processing (machine vision). Founded as a spin-off from the Technical University of Darmstadt, the company is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, and employs approximately 1,200 people across more than 25 locations. Since 2020, it has been part of the Machine Vision Solutions division of the Atlas Copco Group. ISRA Vision’s mission is to deliver advanced machine vision systems to automate manufacturing processes, improve quality assurance, and ensure defect detection across automotive, battery production, glass, solar, packaging, and food production industries.

Battery Technology

ISRA Vision offers inline quality inspection systems for lithium-ion battery manufacturing, covering electrode/separator production and cell assembly. Systems inspect electrode films, separator films, and metal foils (web widths 300–1000 mm, speeds ~50 m/min, resolutions 25–100 µm) to detect streaks, holes, stains, impurities, and coating defects. Separator film inspections use ultra-high-resolution cameras to identify PVDF fluoroplastic coating defects. For cell assembly, optical inspection of pouch, prismatic, and cylindrical cells detects surface imperfections, contamination, dimensional variations, and verifies barcodes/data codes, with defect detection down to ~50 µm, enabling real-time process adjustments to increase yield and reduce waste.

Products

High-performance machine vision systems including specialized cameras, lighting solutions, and intelligent software for surface inspection, quality inspection, robot guidance, and automated measurement; the FPM-Smart all-in-one optical defect detection platform for intricate free-form surfaces (transmission and reflection bright field) in glass manufacturing; and the Perceptron and QUISS product brands.

Recent Projects

In 2024, ISRA Vision launched the FPM-Smart all-in-one optical defect detection system for free-form surfaces in glass manufacturing, featuring Transmission Bright Field and Reflection Bright Field inspection. In 2023, the company streamlined its branding under the Atlas Copco name while retaining its original product brands (Perceptron, QUISS), reinforcing its position as a primary machine vision solutions provider within the group.

Investors

Prior to 2020, major shareholders were Enis Ersü via EVWB GmbH & Co. KG, Vision GbR and Kabouter Management, LLC. In 2020, Atlas Copco acquired a majority stake through a public takeover offer and agreements with key shareholders, and as of 2025, it remains the controlling owner.
