About
Heliovision provides industrial-grade machine vision solutions built on deep learning and advanced 2D/3D imaging technology. Designed for manufacturers seeking to automate quality inspections and reduce human error, their platform detects defects, localizes objects, and performs optical measurements down to sub-0.005 mm precision. The Funghii solution specifically addresses food-sector automation — for example, automatically removing mushrooms with sandy roots from production lines without human intervention. Heliovision's offering spans the full project lifecycle: from feasibility studies and proof-of-concept development in their in-house competence center (with a library of 30+ camera types and lighting setups), through software development and hardware integration, to on-site installation and operator training. Their solutions integrate seamlessly with ERP and MES systems for traceability and order processing. Industries served include food processing, automotive, tape and film manufacturing, and more. Heliovision operates on a fixed-price Proof of Concept strategy, ensuring clients validate the solution before committing to full deployment. The combination of proprietary algorithms, custom-built software, and proven hardware expertise makes Heliovision a reliable partner for smart, efficient production environments.

Pros
- 35+ Years of Hardware Expertise: Deep cumulative experience in vision hardware means clients benefit from proven, battle-tested optical and AI configurations tuned for their specific process.
- Fixed-Price Proof of Concept: Clients validate the solution in a controlled lab environment before full commitment, reducing financial risk and ensuring fit-for-purpose delivery.
- End-to-End Service: From feasibility study and software development through installation, integration, and operator training — full project ownership under one roof.
- Industry-Agnostic Flexibility: Solutions have been deployed across food processing, automotive, and industrial tape manufacturing, demonstrating broad applicability.
Cons
- Enterprise-Focused Pricing: Custom B2B solutions with fixed-price PoC strategies are not accessible for small businesses or individual developers with limited budgets.
- Limited Self-Service or SaaS Option: There is no out-of-the-box software product available; every deployment requires direct engagement with Heliovision's team.
- Regional Focus: As a Belgian company with Dutch-language communications, international support and deployment may require additional coordination.
