Key Players
Competitive Landscape
PET preform inspection systems market includes camera-based full-flow system suppliers and robotic off-line system suppliers. INTRAVIS offers inline, off-line and monitoring systems [1], Pressco Technology offers Intellispec [1], IMD offers IMDvista [1], and SACMI offers a robotic off-line cell [2]. Suppliers differ in rated speed, camera count, thread measurement, and format handling. SACMI’s PVS002C, PVS156A and PVS Robot are rated at 1,100 to 1,200 preforms per hour, while the higher-throughput systems from INTRAVIS, IMD, Pressco Technology and SACMI are rated at 72,000 to 150,000 preforms per hour [1].
Since 2025, announcements have centred on K 2025. INTRAVIS announced PreMon with Sipa in August 2025 [4], and SACMI presented the PVS Robot and the CVS OneCam in October 2025 [2]. These developments are anticipated to widen the range of formats and plants that can add inspection.
