Our Mission

Our Story

Perceptron® was founded in 1981 by three graduates of GMI (now Kettering University).  By working closely with world-class manufacturers, they witnessed the damaging effects of variation on complex assembly processes and came to understand how a process that cannot be measured can never be effectively controlled or optimized.  Through pioneering vision and revolutionary engineering efforts they created a unique, innovative solution that not only allowed fast and efficient containment of problems when they occur, but the ability to proactively seek out and reduce process variation on a large scale.  The end result was groundbreaking - the first instance of a viable, in-process, 100% measurement solution capable of being deployed in an industrial environment.

Building on that strong foundation, Perceptron has continued to flourish and evolve under the guiding principles of the Five Diamond philosophy: Innovation, Commitment, Integrity, Value and Excellence.

Since 1981, Perceptron has expanded to 14 regional offices across the globe with approximately 230 employees worldwide and augmented its successful Industrial Business Unit with a thriving Commercial Products Business Unit.

Industrial Business Unit

The Industrial Business Unit includes several major product offerings that help reduce variation, inprove quality and reduce cost in the manufacturing process.  All solutions use Perceptron's powerful proprietary software and reliable sensor platform to create an optimal vision solution for your manufacturing application.

Commercial Products Business Unit

The Commercial Products Business Unit leveraged Perceptron's expertise in optics and laser imaging to create small, robust handheld optical inspection devices for the consumer market.  By strategically partnering with market leaders, Perceptron has successfully launched several products and a variety of add-on accessories since 2006.
