About Us

With manufacturing industries facing ever increasing demands for improved quality and reduced costs to enable them to remain competitive in today's markets, more and more companies are turning to automated vision inspection technology, which can eliminate manual inspection and reduce the margin of error. These systems also need to be able to rapidly and accurately inspect multiple parts and handle product changeovers quickly, without major reprogramming.

Orion Automation, based near Huntingdon on the edge of the Cambridge Technology Cluster, was founded with the specific intention to address this need by bringing high quality vision products, both hardware and software, together with an expertise second to none in the market place, to provide clever, cost effective, customised vision based solutions to the manufacturing and laboratory environments.

It is our firm belief that as the technology in this sector improves, products become more capable and the cost of hardware falls, these solutions will appeal to a wider audience and machine vision will continue to grow.

We also believe that with specialist systems like these, only a small company with highly skilled people can offer the level of service required to maximise the benefits of this technology.

Our aim is to do exactly that, by working closely with the customer, providing a reliable, top quality service, considered by the customer as excellent value for money and which makes them want to continue using us in future. This is very important to us as we take a personal pride in the success of our work and the happiness of our customers.
