Clearview Imaging Brings 150 Years of Machine Vision Expertise to European Manufacturers

Thame, Oxford Apr 23, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – Founded in 2008 by Managing Director Allan Anderson, Clearview Imaging has grown into a pan-European business with dedicated entities in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and France. Its team of certified machine vision engineers works to an Agile methodology, helping customers move from initial application brief through to validated, production-ready vision systems, often without the customer needing to commit to hardware upfront.

Central to that proposition is the Clearview Insights Test Lab, an in-house facility where engineers run feasibility studies, proof-of-concept trials, and application demonstrations on customer samples. For buyers evaluating an imaging solution for a new inspection line, a label verification system, or a 3D metrology application, the Test Lab removes the guesswork: the team tests on real product before any purchase is made.

“We have always operated as an extension of our customers’ engineering teams,” said Allan Anderson, Managing Director of Clearview Imaging. “The catalogue gives them access to more than 9,000 products from the most trusted names in machine vision. But it is the engineering conversation before the order that tends to make the difference.”

The product range spans machine vision cameras, lenses and optical filters, LED illumination, frame grabbers, cabling, laser modules, machine vision software, and complete custom vision systems. Certified partner agreements with Matrox Imaging, Teledyne FLIR, LUCID Vision Labs, Zebra Technologies, Photonfocus, SVS Vistek, and Vieworks mean Clearview engineers receive direct technical training and pre-release product access from each manufacturer.

Clearview is also investing in knowledge transfer across the industry. Its Clearview KnowHow programme offers machine vision training courses, webinars, and seminars for engineering teams at all levels, from those just starting to evaluate vision technology to experienced integrators looking to extend their capabilities into 3D, hyperspectral, or smart camera architectures.

The company holds memberships with the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) and the UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA), and in 2023 was awarded Great Place to Work certification, independently verified through employee survey data.

For those new to the discipline, Clearview’s widely read Introduction to 3D Machine Vision and Differences Between 2D and 3D Applications provides a practical starting point.
