| Around 4JET, 4JET Technologies 4JET acquires the tire inspection business of Hennecke Systems
4JET expands its portfolio in the tire industry
The 4JET Group acquires the TIS testing systems business unit for tires and wheels from Hennecke Systems.
TIS systems are based on Hennecke Systems’ comprehensive know-how in industrial image processing and enable optical 2D and 3D inspection of tire treads, sidewalls, rims and mounted wheels. DOT codes, colour stripes and tire profiles can be read out in a reliable manner and in market leading speed.
With this transaction, 4JET complements its portfolio of proprietary solutions for tire traceability, such as the SCANNECT QR Code technology, thus strengthening its own competence in the field of machine vision.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
Robert Hillmann, Managing Director of 4JET Technologies and Head of the Tire Industry Division, comments: “The Tire Inspection Systems are the perfect addition to our portfolio for the traceability of tires: no matter if DOT Code, QR Code or other features – we can identify every tire in a reliable way and provide the basis for Industry 4.0 in the tire and wheel industry.”
