Perceptron Receives Order for Seven In-Line Automated Metrology Systems

Prominent Automotive OEM Selects Perceptron for 100% Measurement on their Plant Floor

PLYMOUTH, Mich., October 24, 2019 — Perceptron, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRCP), a leading global provider of 3D automated metrology solutions and coordinate measuring machines, today announced a prominent automotive OEM selected Perceptron as their in-line measurement supplier for their next major car program.

“We have worked closely to form a collaborative partnership with this manufacturer and have more than 20 years of experience measuring their vehicles in-line,” said Rick Van Valkenburg, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing for Perceptron. “Our product development prioritizes functionality that helps solve manufacturing challenges on the plant floor where they happen. Perceptron solutions feature a full data analytics package for root cause analysis of process and product problems, as well as corporate level reporting highlighting where plant management should focus their attention. The combination of our experience, product capability, and local support team created the differentiation needed to win this project.”

Perceptron Wins AutoGauge®ACF Order at Global Appliance Manufacturer

New Order for Flexible Near-Line Station Emphasizes Company’s Pursuit for Growth in Adjacent Industries

PLYMOUTH, Mich., August 22, 2019 — Perceptron, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRCP), a leading global provider of 3D automated metrology solutions and coordinate measuring machines, today announced it received an order from a leading global appliance manufacturer to measure oven cavities.

“Manufacturers are often looking for a partner to help them automate their measurement in the most efficient way,” commented Rick Van Valkenburg, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing for Perceptron. “This specific manufacturer turned to Perceptron based on our extensive experience with high-speed measurement in the automotive industry. Their pursuit of automation in their manufacturing process made measuring on the plant floor the next logical step and Perceptron the most suitable solution.”

The turnkey system consists of a robot, a single Helix-evo sensor, and a portable base for movement around the manufacturing floor. The cavities will be measured at multiple points in the manufacturing process to ensure proper build dimensions. This allows the manufacturer to root cause any variation their build process is adding to the assembly. For example, the oven cavities can be measured in their raw metal state and again after the enamel is baked on to determine if the enamel application caused dimensional changes. The Helixevo sensor has the dynamic range to easily handle the different material finishes.

As emphasized through industry veteran Jay Freeland’s appointment as Chairman of the Board, Perceptron continues to focus on core competencies and market share penetration within the automotive industry, while pursuing growth within adjacent industries as well.

“Perceptron’s robust technology and automotive experience was instrumental in establishing this relationship,” continued Van Valkenburg. “Our proven plant floor technology and execution team is designed and trained to provide solutions for high throughput manufacturing facilities where quality and time is critical.”

The system is currently in design with installation scheduled for winter 2019.
