With his innovative strength, his untiring personal commitment and his sure instinct for technologies and markets he was not only one of the pioneers in the industry, he also formed Rauscher GmbH into one of the most successful technology providers in the field of machine vision.

With his death, the machine vision industry loses one of the first pioneers, who was respected and highly esteemed by all employees, business partners and the entire industry due to his performance and personality.

In spite of this personal loss and in the spirit of Ernst Rauscher, Rauscher GmbH will remain a strong and reliable partner for customers and business partners in the future.
