Company Background / History

Created in 2002, IRIS Inspection machines, a subsidiary of WISETEC Group, is the specialist in tunkey hollow glass inspection solutions. Recently relocated in Bron, next to LYON, Iris used its 2000m² factory comlex to assemble, test and improve inspection machines able to detect all kinds of defects of bottles of every size, shape and color, from the pharmaceutical containers to wine, beer and champagne bottles.

Iris Was the first to developp and sell a 12 cameras inspection machine in 2002. Ably called “EVOLUTION”, this first concept is same as the last performing machine of theses days. Iris offers a strategy in the long term, with a constant software improvement.

Subsequently, almost 1000 Evolution machines have been set up in many factories around the word, in Europe, Asia, North and Sud America, Africa and the Middle East.
