Image Analysis Systems brings two German engineering lines to South African plants: VisionTools camera systems for inspection, identification and robot guidance, and Deutronic charging computers, converters and test systems for the vehicles and assemblies coming off your line.

The two lines we carry

Two manufacturers, one point of contact

Both lines were built for the same place: the automotive assembly line, and the plants that supply it. We handle specification, rand quoting, import, commissioning and after-sales for both — so you deal with one local company rather than importing directly from two German manufacturers.

Lines we represent VisionTools Deutronic
Waghäusel, Germany

VisionTools Bildanalyse Systeme

Industrial camera systems for optical quality control and automation, built around the V60 image-analysis software. Three jobs: inspect, identify, handle.

  • V60 image processing software and deep-learning tools
  • Adhesive bead inspection, in-process and post-process
  • Vision-over-Ethernet: cameras, PoE switching, edge AI, decentralised power
  • 2D, thermal, time-of-flight 3D and profile sensors
  • LED module lights, spotlights and multi-LED ring lights
  • Feasibility studies, engineering, commissioning, V60 training
Adlkofen, Germany

Deutronic Elektronik

Power electronics for vehicles and industry: charging computers used in vehicle production and workshops, DC/DC converters, rugged power supplies and test systems.

  • Charging computers for assembly lines, showrooms and workshops
  • Chargers for lead-acid, gel, AGM, fleece and lithium batteries
  • Buffer-mode supply during diagnosis and flash programming
  • DC/DC converters with high power density
  • Industrial power supplies rated for vibration, heat and humidity
  • Modular test and measurement systems with DTS software
Seeing it work

One pass down the body, every panel measured

A gantry camera travels the length of the shell, capturing a frame at each station. Panel gaps, flush, weld seams and trim are measured against tolerance while the body is still moving — and anything out of spec is flagged before it reaches the next cell.

Product range

What we can quote you

A working selection, not the full catalogue. If you know the part number, send it over. If you know the problem but not the part, describe the process and we will come back with an option.

VisionTools

V60 image analysis software

The image-processing platform the rest of the line is built on. Configured per application rather than programmed from scratch.

AI-based defect classification in an industrial inspection system
VisionTools

Deep-learning tools

AI tooling for defects that resist rule-based inspection. Can be trained on synthetically generated images before the line exists.

How we work

We do more than forward the order

A camera system or a charging installation is not a catalogue purchase. This is the sequence we work through with you, and where the manufacturers step in behind us.

01
Scope

Feasibility first

Send parts, images or line data. We establish whether the inspection or the power requirement is achievable before anyone writes a purchase order.

02
Specify

The right configuration

Camera, optics, lighting and software — or charger rating, connector and interface. You get a bill of materials with the reasoning attached.

03
Supply

Import handled

Ordering, freight, customs clearance and documentation from Germany. One quote in rands, one invoice, one delivery date to hold us to.

04
Support

Commissioning and after

On-site setup, operator and maintenance training, spare parts, and a route back to the manufacturer's engineers when a problem needs them.

Where these systems go

Applications

Vehicle final assembly line
Vehicle assembly

Final assembly and EOL

Bead and seam inspection, completeness checks, and battery charging and buffering through the last stations and end-of-line testing.

Robot picking parts located by a 3D camera
Robotics

Part location and picking

3D recognition for robot pick-up and feeding — castings, pallets and bins located reliably enough to run unattended.

Die casting and weld seam inspection
Foundry & machining

Casting and weld inspection

Completeness of die castings, weld-seam profiling, and identification of parts through dirt, heat and variable surfaces.

Vehicle on charge in a workshop bay
Dealer networks

Showroom and workshop

Charging and trickle charging for vehicles on display and in the bay, including long diagnostic and flash-programming sessions.

Modular electronics test bench
Electronics

Test benches

Modular test systems for components and assemblies, with one software framework across several benches.

Code reading for part traceability on a production line
General manufacturing

Traceability

Code and character reading for part tracking, plus rugged power supplies for the equipment doing the reading.

Why buy through us

German equipment, South African hands

The manufacturers are excellent and eight thousand kilometres away. Closing that gap is what we do.

01

One relationship, two lines

Vision and power specified together, quoted together and delivered together — rather than coordinated across two overseas suppliers.

02

No direct import to manage

Quoted in rands, cleared through customs, delivered to your plant. No foreign purchase orders, freight forwarders or exchange-rate guessing on your side.

03

Someone who can drive out

Commissioning, operator training and fault-finding on site anywhere in the country, plus spares held against the systems we have installed.

Working closely with VisionTools, I was given the chance to build an independent image-processing practice here in South Africa. The perfect partner, with the perfect software.
