About Our Event
At Automate 2026, we will proudly present cutting-edge technologies from Specim and EINES Vision Systems, two innovative brands within the Konica Minolta portfolio. Together, these solutions bring powerful capabilities in hyperspectral imaging, machine vision, and intelligent automation, helping manufacturers gain deeper insight, improve process control, and boost overall production performance. From real-time material identification and classification to advanced vision-based inspection and automation, our combined expertise addresses some of the most critical challenges facing today’s manufacturers.
By uniting advanced sensing, imaging, and vision technologies, we enable smarter decision-making, increased efficiency, and more reliable outcomes across a wide range of industrial applications. Visit us at Booth #32036 to explore advanced sensing and vision solutions in action and discover how these technologies are shaping the future of industrial automation.
Featured Products
The Specim FX19 brings hyperspectral imaging to the extended NIR/SWIR range with 640 spatial pixels and up to 527 fps, enabling accurate, repeatable material identification on fast conveyor lines and in demanding R&D environments. A TE-cooled InGaAs sensor, advanced image correction, and unified spectral calibration ensure consistent results across single- and multi-camera systems.
Useful for: plastics, textiles, paper/cardboard, e-waste, thin films/foils, and lab/R&D.
Specim HI400S Halogen Illumination Unit
Reliable, High-Intensity Lighting for Hyperspectral Imaging
The Specim HI400S is a halogen illumination unit designed for hyperspectral imaging in industrial and research environments. It delivers stable, high-intensity light for accurate and repeatable spectral data across various materials and conditions in the visible to short-wave infrared range (400-2500 nm).
SpecimRETEX combines Specim hyperspectral imaging technology with advanced AI algorithms to deliver real-time, high-accuracy textile material recognition. Designed for industrial-scale operations, SpecimRETEX enables recyclers, sorters, and manufacturers to automate sorting processes and unlock new revenue streams.
