Keyence develops and sells sensors, measuring instruments and machine-vision systems for factory automation. Its products and technical support serve detection, inspection and measurement tasks.
History and development
Keyence was established as Lead Electric in Amagasaki, Hyogo, in 1974. Its development centers on sensors, measurement and control for factories. That history connects industrial problem-solving with its factory-automation product range, rather than operation of manufacturing plants on customers' behalf.
