Amid constant transformation in the manufacturing world, infrastructure and retail for a company to have the ability to understand the real needs of customers and the flexibility to address those mutating demands is a real trump card.

Ponfac is a company that is defined by its intrinsic qualities of knowledge on products, processes, services, and the technology that has been built over the course of 20 years.

The company is known for its unremitting commitment, loyalty, and transparency that has propped it in a prominent position in the Latin America market.

Ponfac has served a global portfolio of clients to automate repetitive processes and quality control requirements that provide improvements in the quality and reduction of costs of products and processes to create a truly competitive advantage for their clients.

Ponfac is committed to providing and supporting machine vision technology that identifies patterns in dimensional, defect, model, OCR, OCV, position codes 1D/2D, color differentiation, hue, safety, counting, and other characteristics visible through a photographic image.

In fact, the company was one of the four pioneers to be certified by the Automated Imaging Association (AIA) System Integrator Program in December 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany, and remains the only company in Latin America to achieve such recognition.

The AIA Program allows system integration companies to demonstrate the depth of their expertise and highlight their industry experience providing potential clients validation of the company’s years of experience and number of projects, skill level of employees, and verified expertise in specific industries.

By focusing on the automation of visual inspection through its image processing technology, Ponfac eliminates various bottlenecks, checks 100 percent of production, increases productivity, and standardizes processes.

On several occasions, Ponfac has replaced other machine vision vendors as a result of customers seeking more quality from their supplier

To begin a client engagement, Ponfac works closely with the client to develop a document called the Functional and Operational Specification that allow the client to take out the maximum of the solution.

This is used to leverage the Ponfac solutions and create a quick return on investment, which then increases client satisfaction and motivates them to expand the use of Ponfac’s technology.

Because they work for different industry segments, Ponfac has adopted the policy of aligning with only the leading companies in each of the verticals.

The partnerships are a win-win solution. The partners differentiate themselves in their industry by adding Ponfac technology to their solutions and Ponfac can add the expertise of their partners in their specific industry segment. Per Moisés Pontremoli, Founder and CEO, “On several occasions, Ponfac has replaced other machine vision vendors as a result of customers seeking more quality and Performance from their supplier.”

An example of Ponfac’s consistent value can be seen in a case study with a French multinational company in the automotive industry. The client needed a Machine Vision solution for the metal parts stamped on their vehicle production lines.

They decided to conduct a competition to compare various solutions and hired Ponfac in Brazil and other companies around the world. In early 2017, they presented the results of each of the seven solutions contracted from around the world and Ponfac’s solution had evidently emerged the best in the competition.

Ponfac’s roadmap includes a strategic restructuring of the company in Brazil, from both a product and service perspective, to position them for internationalization of the company in 2018—without losing their focus on customer quality and service that has fuelled their success so far. Their plan anticipates an average growth of approximately 50 percent which can only be achieved by competing on the global stage.

To further increase Ponfac’s growth in the world, seeking to develop new partners who have experiences in their local markets or certain segments, the company is always attentive to new international alliances.
