OUR VISION

We effectively support our clients in becoming the global market leaders of tomorrow.

Because we are convinced that long-term and sustainable acting is the best way for a successful common future. On this basis, hema has become the place for embedded vision experts. We are already one of the most successful embedded vision design labs in Europe. From the niche, we develop embedded vision systems, sensors and electronics for more and more specialised areas.

Today, we already effectively support our innovative customers from industrial, medical and security technology fields in their efforts of developing successful products. And in everything we do, we are committed to the highest standards of performance and quality.
