MRTECH – SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SERVICES FOR MACHINE VISION

MRTech SK is a small company based in Slovakia, operating in the machine vision field with a focus on high-performance image processing.

With over 10 years of experience, the company has successfully delivered projects to customers worldwide across various industries, including entertainment, teleoperation, aerospace, medicine, and scientific research.

What Are the Main Areas of Activity?

MRTech SK focuses on two main directions:

  1. Implementation of custom machine vision projects for customers 
  2. Development and sale of ready-to-use software products, such as:
    • the MRTech IFF SDK library 
    • a GUI application for image recording (both color and raw, with post-processing) 

Their solutions primarily utilize NVIDIA GPUs, either on Intel/AMD platforms or embedded as Jetson modules. Highly optimized image processing code runs on GPUs, ensuring efficient delivery of images to end applications (local or remote).

Image quality is a key priority, especially for customers in entertainment fields such as cinematography and broadcasting. The software allows flexibility in balancing quality and speed to meet specific project requirements.

What’s New in Products and Services?

The company is currently introducing several new products and services:

  1. Video4Linux camera drivers for Sony IMX477 and IMX586 sensors on NVIDIA Jetson systems 
  2. Custom Jetson camera driver development for additional image sensors 
  3. Development of board support packages or porting software to new Jetson Linux releases 
  4. Ready-to-use developer kits with Jetson systems, cameras, and MRTech software 

At the same time, the core software library, IFF SDK, is continuously improved with expanded hardware compatibility and new features.

What are the ranges of products/services?

The main product is MRTech IFF SDK, which provides:

  1. Image acquisition from machine vision cameras (Ethernet, USB, PCIe, MIPI, etc.) 
  2. GPU-accelerated image processing with low latency
  3. Hardware video encoding (H.264, H.265) 
  4. Network streaming (RTSP, WebRTC) 
  5. Recording (DNG, TIFF, compressed video) 
  6. Camera control (auto white balance, auto exposure, manual control) 
  7. Image import/export for user applications 

Supported platforms include Linux and Windows on x86_64 and ARM64 (NVIDIA Jetson).

IFF SDK provides all the building blocks needed for machine vision applications. Customers can either develop their own solutions or rely on MRTech for full implementation.

Services include:

  • hardware selection (cameras, lenses, computing platform) 
  • hardware prototyping 
  • software development 
  • testing 
  • documentation 

The company’s expertise lies in maximizing hardware performance and image quality, especially for high-end applications with demanding requirements such as high resolution, frame rate, and low latency.

What is the state of the market where you are currently active?

The European machine vision market has been affected in recent years by economic pressures caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

However, the market has since recovered, with previously delayed projects now re-emerging and accelerating innovation.

What can you tell us about market trends?

Two major forces are currently shaping the industry:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • Rapid increase in processing power (especially GPUs) 
  • Significant progress in robotics 

Fast image processing is critical both during AI training and deployment phases.

Unmanned Vehicles (Drones)

Increased military spending is driving innovation, but applications extend far beyond defense:

  • agriculture 
  • industrial inspection 
  • entertainment 

Drone technology is expanding rapidly across all environments, from underwater to space.

What are the most innovative products/services marketed?

MRTech highlights three key technologies:

  1. NVIDIA Jetson embedded computing platform
    • recently expanded with Jetson Thor T5000 and T4000 
    • enables advanced edge computing and autonomous systems 
  2. XIMEA PCIe machine vision camera infrastructure
    • supports multiple high-bandwidth cameras (up to 64 Gbit/s per camera) 
    • allows building high-performance systems 
  3. MRTech IFF SDK
    • integrates hardware components into efficient, optimized solutions 

One example of these technologies combined is achieving 25 ms glass-to-glass latency when streaming dual 4K video over Ethernet.

What estimations do you have for the beginning of 2026?

MRTech expects 2026 to be a strong year for both the company and the machine vision market.

The company is particularly looking forward to the VISION 2026 exhibition at Messe Stuttgart in October, the leading European trade fair for machine vision.

Visitors are welcome to meet the MRTech team at stand 8D03 in Stuttgart from October 6 to 8.
