Our Vision

CogniTens’ innovative approach to dimensional metrology led to the development of optical shop floor measurement solutions which automatically generate meaningful results, and enables dissemination of these results to engineers and managers across the organization to support numerous business processes.

CogniTens is committed to realizing the industry’s vision of transforming large data set dimensional information making it accessible and comprehensible to experts and non-experts alike in engineering and manufacturing organizations. This will actually extend the manufacturing shop floor beyond its physical location allowing critical dimensional and process information to reach a broader community, help make collaborative real-time decisions and ultimately speed up the introduction of better products to the market.  

 
Past, Present & Future

CogniTens was founded in 1995 by Prof. Amnon Shashua, a former MIT professor who developed the company’s initial proprietary technology. In 2007, more than a decade after being established, CogniTens joined the Hexagon Metrology group consisting of technology diverse, industry acclaimed measurement systems brands such as Brown & Sharp, DEA, Leica Geosystems, Sheffield, Romer, PC-DMIS and others. With an installed base of more than 50,000 CMMs, over 7,500 portable measurement systems, millions of hand-held instruments and over 30,000 licenses of the popular PC-DMIS metrology software, Hexagon Metrology daily supports its customers to fully control their processes and ensure that what has been designed is in fact manufactured.   


CogniTens is experiencing rapid global growth based on successful implementations at leading automotive manufacturers and suppliers such as General Motors, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, Honda, BMW, Magna, Ogihara, Nissan, Volvo and others. 


CogniTens is a highly innovative company with a longstanding tradition of considerable investment in technology and process development in numerous disciplines ranging from physics, electro-optics, quality, software and so on. CogniTens initiates and supports both long-term basic and infrastructure research as well as practical technology, product research and development, all intended in due course to improve and continue to innovate our 3D metrology system offering to the market. CogniTens maintains its leadership position through investment in research activities and innovative developments along with close collaboration with industry leaders and partners. 


CogniTens is expanding its growth in the automotive, aerospace and other industries by providing increased value to customers in various vertical domains.
