Aplik in its strategical plan
defined three technological areas to work in: "Artificial Vision",
"Mechanical Design", and "Control and Data Analysis".
These three areas are based on the type of projects that Aplik deals with. Aplik’s ability to find solutions for our clients is directly related to our knowledge and capacity to solve problems in those areas.
In addition, these areas operate like accumulative think-tanks gathering experience for future projects. Each area keeps, mantains and augments its particular developments because it is there where the most prepared personnel for those tasks are.
Each area is formed as a team with well defined resources and targets. These teams work coordinately in order to tackle the interdisciplinary projects faced by Aplik.

The artificial vision area is dedicated to designing vision systems
based on the processing and analysis of images taken by electronic cameras.
The images are generated from visible light, infrared (thermal infrared),
ultrasounds, x-rays, or magnetic resonance. The image analysis tries to
emulate the human interpretative capacity, but with the added benefit
that it is faster and more reliable.

The Advanced Robotic and Mechanical Design area designs,
integrates and supervises the manufacture of mechanical systems.
The mechanical designs are drawn in 2D or 3D and in some cases
subject to a verification process by means of Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
In Aplik the mechanical design has acquired an international quality level
by including the usual accepted standards for materials, cabinets or welding.

Automatic Control and Data analysis consists in
designing information systems to get the relevant information for
making decisions that affect the quality of the product and the
production costs.
