Supply chain disruptions are forcing an inordinate amount of change to critical components of medical devices. The burden placed on medical device OEMs to validate these changes distracts engineering, quality, and operations teams from more strategic activities. Reacting to an unpredictable supply chain endangers new development as well as ongoing production.

Medical device designs are complex – from the technological advancements that created them and interconnects between different functional facets, to their enclosures and regulatory requirements.
EmbedTek filed a provisional patent for a camera system including a reflective progressive lens. The system captures images of people, vehicles, or objects that would be blurred or lack enough detail with standard camera technology and lenses.
EmbedTek filed a provisional patent for a non-linear, progressive lens constructed to optically capture an area of interest positioned within the 3D field of view for the camera.
EmbedTek president Kent Tabor was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel C-Level column to talk about a culture of inventive engineering.
Vision Systems Design featured EmbedTek in the May 2018 issue, covering how EmbedTek uses COTS and open source to create better, faster, and cheaper vision systems.
EmbedTek is honored to be nominated for the 2017 Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year Award from the Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership.
COTS camera sensors and open source software have dramatically shifted the industrial vision systems playing field, opening up opportunities for nearly any OEM in any industry to improve equipment design, device control, and operational outcomes.
