KEYENCE | Global Leader in Factory Automation, Sensing Technologies, and Machine Vision Systems



KEYENCE Corporation is a global leader in factory automation, sensing technologies, and machine vision systems. The company develops hardware and software components that allow manufacturers to automate production lines, improve quality control, and reduce manual labor. KEYENCE operates on a direct sales model, deploying specialized sales engineers directly to factories to resolve technical application challenges.
Core Factory Automation Portfolio
KEYENCE offers a broad hardware spectrum through the KEYENCE Products Catalog to fully equip automated cells:
  • Sensors: Presence/absence sensors, photoelectric fiber-optics, and high-precision laser distance displacement sensors.
  • Machine Vision Systems: Modular controllers and smart cameras like the VS Series and VS-G Series. They utilize built-in AI engines to automate defect detection and robot bin-picking guidance.
  • Measurement & Metrology: Optical systems like the IM Series for instant 2D/3D part profile verification right on the shop floor.
  • Industrial Controls: The KV Series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), compliant with IEC 61131-3, serve as the central brain managing machine timing.
  • Laser Markers & Barcode Readers: Used to etch traceable 2D codes or serial numbers onto parts, which are then tracked by fixed or handheld scanners.
  • Safety Components: Light curtains and the SZ-V Safety Laser Scanner series to safeguard robotic boundaries and protect human operators.
Digital and Software Automation
Beyond hardware, KEYENCE implements digital workspace automation:
  • RPA (Robotic Process Automation): Software solutions like KEYENCE RK allow non-technical business users to build rule-based computer workflows. It automates cross-system data transfer, reporting, and report generation without requiring complex coding.
  • Mobile Operations: Specialized apps like the KV-X App connect to system hardware to let maintenance crews monitor live operations on the go.
