Konica Minolta has officially completed its acquisition of test and measurement solutions company Radiant Vision Systems, LLC.

A company that develops multi-functional peripherals, printers, equipment for production print systems and graphic arts, equipment for healthcare systems, measuring instruments for industrial and healthcare applications, and more, Konica Minolta acquired Radiant Vision Systems in order to support its strategy for transforming its Sensing business unit by expanding into growing fields through the addition of new and innovative technology, skills, and resources. With the acquisition, Konica Minolta gains access to Radiant’s product portfolio and expertise in high-volume production test solutions, while providing complementary technologies and increased market exposure to Radiant.

"As part of the Konica Minolta Sensing business unit, Radiant will continue to focus on its solutions for light and color measurement and visual surface inspection in the consumer electronics, display, and LED markets," said Doug Kreysar, Chief Solutions Officer for Radiant Vision Systems. "We believe our ability to serve these rapidly growing markets will be enhanced by access to Konica Minolta’s complementary technologies, distribution channels, and universally recognized brand."

Radiant Vision Systems develops integrated systems for light and color measurement and visual surface inspection in consumer electronics, displays, and LED products. These systems are built around specially-calibrated CCD cameras, the most recent of which is the ProMetric Y2 imaging photometer, a 2 MPixel cooled interline transfer CCD camera that is designed for production line testing.
