Research and development is at the heart of InspecVision ’ s strategy and we work very closely with our partners in export markets to identify customer needs and provide solutions . Existing products , such as our SurfScan option for the Planar 2D inspection system , utilises Augmented Reality to enable operators to visually identify good and bad parts or to identify if particular features , such as holes , are missing .
ISMR : What is your strategic focus / vision over the next few years ? Do you project any growth in turnover for this year , compared to last year ?
JA : Our company strategy is focused on two key elements : growth and innovation . 2023 has been a very positive year for InspecVision resulting in 28 % of turnover growth compared to last year .
We want to serve the sheet metal industry by continuing to develop new technologies which help our customers to achieve their quality management goals . The existing product range will continue to be developed and updated as we believe that innovation doesn ’ t halt when a system is purchased . We want all our customers to benefit from improvements .
Augmented Reality ( AR ) applied to parts .
JA : Due to rising energy costs and in an effort to improve sustainability , we are adding solar panels to our production facility which should reduce our running costs significantly within five years .
As a family business , we recognise the importance of value . Our machines are inexpensive to run and durable so are built to last . They use more energyefficient LED lights . We design our products to be highly modular and upgradable . We are regularly contacted by customers who want to add a newly released option , so are able to keep even our older machines up to date with the latest improvements . This helps our customers to deliver on their sustainability goals .
ISMR : Thank you for your time . n

ISMR : Which trends do you see developing in global sheet metal / inspection markets ?
JA : Increasingly , we see both customers and suppliers working in strategic partnerships to deliver integrated solutions . As part of the drive towards unattended production , greater integration is required between different systems on the factory floor . As part of our partner programme with TRUMPF , we have integrated TRUMPF geo files import / export into our software .
