"Simple | Robust | Fast"
German machine vision startup using light field sensors and multiview AI for inline industrial quality inspection in automotive, aviation, and medtech.
K|Lens GmbH is a German machine vision company headquartered in Saarbrücken, Germany, founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the Saarland Informatics Campus. The company specializes in AI-powered optical inspection systems built around proprietary light field sensor technology. Its core innovation is a compact light field sensor that captures nine simultaneous perspectives in a single shot, generating depth maps and 3D point clouds from standard industrial cameras without additional hardware.
K|Lens offers two primary product lines: Vision Components (modular building blocks for custom vision systems) and Complete Vision Systems (task-optimized turnkey inspection solutions). Both leverage the company's Multiview AI, which processes depth, spectral, and polarization information to detect surface defects, dimensional anomalies, and assembly errors with high accuracy and traceability.
Target industries include automotive, aviation, fastening and assembly, machining, medical devices, and electronics. The company positions its systems for inline quality control on production lines, replacing slower, less robust conventional camera setups. K|Lens provides a Business Case Calculator on its website to help prospects quantify ROI.
The company is a member of VDMA (German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association) and has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 954933. Its current website domain is k-lens.ai (redirected from k-lens.de). Headquarters: Am Römerkastell 4, 66121 Saarbrücken, Germany. Phone: +49 681 968 199 0.
