About Sightech
Sightech is a manufacturer of industrial vision systems for quality inspection and factory automation. Sightech offers a revolutionary new approach to machine vision that learns how to recognize parts or monitor repetitive processes all by itself. This powerful self-learning vision technology opens up new frontiers in machine vision - solving many vision problems that previously could not be solved. It is often necessary to think "out of the box" when looking for applications for our technology. Customers need to look beyond the applications they normally associate with machine vision. Many applications that were previously not considered candidates for traditional vision methods, can now be effectively addressed and solved with Sightech's self-learning vision products. Sightech Vision Systems, Inc. was born and raised in Silicon Valley and has 15 years of Research and Development behind its products. Sightech was conceived in 1983 when Art Gaffin wondered how yellow jackets navigate. Working out of his garage in the Silicon Valley, mostly part-time, Mr. Gaffin started developing his theories on vision. Nine years ago, an adventurous engineer was impressed by Mr. Gaffin's theories and decided to collaborate with him. Over many years the two worked mostly evenings and on weekends to develop what would become Eyebot. Indeed, every 16 months they developed a new incarnation and by 1995 they had developed their 9th model. Sightech released its first official version of Eyebot in 1997 and has experienced substantial growth ever since. Additional models include the Multi-Session (MS) Eyebot and the PC Eyebot. Sightech's customers include Unilever, Sylvania, IBM, and Proctor & Gamble.

Art Gaffin, Sightech's Chairman, and CEO started Sightech from his garage in the Silicon Valley in the early 1980s. Mr. Gaffin wondered, how can yellow jackets (a type of bee) see and navigate even though they have a brain the size of a piece of pepper? He concluded that nature had an elegant algorithm that allowed yellow jackets to see. His goal was to decode nature's learning algorithm and put it into silicon.
Our mission statement
Sightech's mission is to change the way people think of the machine vision market by promoting its revolutionary technology and products: No longer does implementing machine vision have to be an expensive and time consuming process. Many previously unsolvable machine vision problems can now be readily implemented with its paradigm shifting approach. In addition to selling products, Sightech is actively marketing its know-how by offering technology licensing for specific markets, etc.
