Optronic in large-scale production of drug-detectors

A South East Asian breakthrough order for Serstech's Indicator 100 has led to extensive production of the Raman spectroscopy based instruments for Optronic, who has also participated in design and development. End users of the device include different types of emergency services and correctional facilities."We contacted Optronic in search of a partner for production, but they have become an important partner for development as well," says Mikael Wanland, CEO of Serstech, who estimates an order value of SEK 67 million. "As we see it, Optronic helps us become a commercial and industrialized

Where reflexes go to die

In a recent investment, Optronic has increased their distance measurement capabilities in Skellefteå. The unit is effectively a fully equipped room, designed to omit zero reflexes, and increases the company’s flexibility in both development and manufacturing.”The room is totally black and every object that can cause reflexes, including radiators and pipes, has been painted black or covered in a black rubber cloth,” says deputy managing director Joacim Lindström. ”We’ve made sure to do this thoroughly, and that the unit holds the high standard we require.” ”Reflexes can really mess up and

Optronic uses Monitor to streamline working methods

Optronic is developing more effective working methods. With the help of resource planning system Monitor, Optronic can make significant efficiency gains. “We are doing the same things as before, and more, but now with less effort”, says Joacim Lindström, Deputy Managing Director of Optronic. Last year, Optronic started the process of changing systems. “We were in need of switching to a more modern system that was also more suited to our business. We looked at the different options on the market and in the end settled for Monitor ERP. Getting everything into place has been a

Optronic Helps Develop New Fundus Camera

Optronic has helped Profundus develop a prototype for a brand new high-resolution eye fundus camera. ”We are very happy with the quality of the prototype that Optronic has constructed, and how well they handled the tight schedule”, says Zoran Popovic, research engineer and chairman of Profundus.Based on research and development conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Gothenburg, the company has mainly been financed by visual impairment association De Blindas Vänner in Gothenburg, the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Memorial Fund, and Vinnova. Recently, GU, the

Optronic Contributes to Swift Identification of Chemical Substances

Serstech has developed a hand-held device, a spectrometer, which identifies chemical substances. Masterminded with IT company Combitech and using a cloud solution, the spectrometer will provide valuable information that will benefit people all over the world. Optronic has participated in the construction, and is responsible for production. “We have chosen Optronic because of their skills within optics. Our customers are very satisfied with the professional product that has been delivered”, says Peter Höjerback, CEO of Serstech. Serstech sells the spectrometer, which uses lasers to

Sweden invests in smart tech boost

Vinnova, the Swedish Energy Agency and Formas are funding a new strategic innovation area for the development of electronic components and systems. The program, called Smarter Electronic Systems, includes technology fields such as photonics, micro and nanoelectronics, micromechanics, power electronics and embedded systems. ”It’s a program of great importance for the whole society,” says Emil Hällstig, Research Coordinator at Optronic and board member of PhotonicSweden. “Recently, we have seen both Ericsson and Sony Mobile handing notices of termination to thousands of Swedish employees.

Optronic provides expertise for automated quality control

SIVPRO, an acronym for Shape Inspection by Vision in Production, is an exciting project run by the department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics at Luleå University of Technology. The project, which could advance the knowledge base and technological know-how in automation of quality control, will be evaluated at Volvo Cars facilities in Olofström, Sweden. Optronic takes part in the project as a member of the scientific committee, contributing with their expertise in using and developing optical 3D sensors for automation in industry. ”We have previously been involved in the

The Year of Light finally arrives

2015 is the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, IYL 2015, as proclaimed by the UN General Assembly 68th Session. All over the globe, IYL 2015 programs will promote improved public and political understanding of the central role of light in the modern world while also celebrating noteworthy anniversaries in 2015 – from the first studies of optics 1 000 years ago to discoveries in optical communications that power the internet today. Light is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international

Smart algorithm highlight at SSBA 2015

The annual Swedish symposium on Image Analsysis, SSBA, was held at Ystad Saltsjöbad, March 17-18. Holding on to tradition, Optronic was a gold sponsor at the international event and sent a delegation to gather the latest from the world of image analysis.One member of Optronic’s team at the event was new recruit Morgan Bengtsson, a former Software Developer at SAAB in Linköping. Bengtsson has joined the Optronic team as a Product Developer and found their visit at the symposium very rewarding:”For us, SSBA offers an ideal opportunity to keep up to date with current news regarding

Optronic contributes to more reliable measurements

Optronic has developed completely new measurement objectives for the renowned multinational company Trimble. The new product is easier to use with increased measurement accuracy and reliability. ”We are very pleased with Optronic’s approach to this project, where they assumed responsibility for both product development and development of the production line”, says Fredrik Gylesjö, Development Manager at Trimble. “We knew from the start that the schedule was tight, but Optronic delivered the project on time and with the right quality. Optronic is a competent partner that complements our

Nobel Prizes show endless possibilities for photonics

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura, "for the invention of efficient blue LEDs which enabled bright and energy-efficient white light sources." In addition, this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was assigned Eric Betzig, Stefan W. Hell, and W. E. Moerner, "for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy." These are two of seven Nobel Prizes awarded in the field of light and photonics since the early century, an area that carries endless opportunities for innovation. In fact, many of the everyday things we take for

Optronic on location with world’s foremost researchers

Optronic was one of the exhibitors when ICPR, the International Conference of Pattern Recognition, was held in Stockholm this August. Although this was the 22:nd ICPR conference, it was the first time ever that Sweden hosted the event.”The international research- and development community within the field of pattern recognition and machine vision is very strong”, says Per Holm, senior vision algorithm developer at Optronic. ”Obviously one feels proud to have colleagues from all over the world visiting us.”For Optronic, attending seminars and taking part in discussions of recent
