Choose flexible, reliable, and high-performance vision-based quality control

APREX Solutions designs, installs and maintains machine vision and artificial intelligence systems for quality control, manufacturing process control and R&D image analysis. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in the Grand Est region, in north-eastern France. It also operates from its offices in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and from its branches in Île-de-France and Hauts-de-France.

Detect any anomaly, even one never seen before, or identify exactly which defect it is: our systems can do both, or even combine them.

Our goal is to make images and video more reliable, flexible and easy to use as tools for inspection and measurement.

We deliver complete solutions sized to the needs of each project and support you from start to finish:

Feasibility study
Design of an application tailored to your inspections
Implementation and on-site installation
Training for your teams
Maintenance and support

Our software is compatible with many types of sensors and combines different analysis methods, from conventional algorithms to the latest generations of AI. We select the one that best serves your project, objectively.

Testimonials

Quality Manager for Industrial Technical Centers - SNCF Voyageurs

Thank you to APREX Solutions for helping us roll out an AI solution.

While keeping the operator at the heart of the system, it has enabled us, since 2023, to ensure the consistent quality of the brushes through an automated final inspection step that is fully integrated into the production process.

Plastics manufacturer of products for the high-end food industry

APREX's AI-based approach has opened new doors for our 100% vision-based quality control.

Our challenges regarding the control of rejects—particularly in cases of false reports—were quickly resolved. We are confident that we can go even further by continuing to improve the system’s efficiency at SOLOCAP and by implementing it on other production lines.

Manufacturer of Special-Purpose Machinery

Vision for Robot Guidance

APREX Solutions' vision-based and artificial intelligence-powered detection system has proven effective in enabling our robot to position itself quickly and accurately in the X and Y dimensions above the objects to be collected.

Project Manager, Innovation - EDF

Machine Vision at the Cattenom Power Plant

In the context of developing an operator assistance application for maintenance, it is worth highlighting the exemplary nature of the collaboration between the teams at Aprex Solutions and those at the EDF power plant, despite the challenging environment of the nuclear industry.
