LMI Technologies manufactures 3D sensors (Gocator, FocalSpec, chroma+scan product lines) for inline factory inspection, competing in machine vision and metrology. The tech stack—C/C++, OpenCV, VTK, Qt, plus integrations with Cognex, Fanuc, ABB, and Siemens PLCs—reflects a hardware-software hybrid business serving industrial automation. Current hiring is engineering-heavy (12 roles) with mid-seniority fills across manufacturing, software, and global sales, while projects signal expansion into 2D smart cameras and new application verticals beyond traditional 3D measurement.
LMI Technologies develops non-contact 3D sensor solutions for factory production lines, positioning 3D inspection as superior to contact measurement or 2D vision for 100% quality control. The product portfolio spans all-in-one smart sensors, line confocal sensors, and log/board inspection systems, integrated with major PLC and robot platforms (Fanuc, ABB, Siemens, Beckhoff, Allen-Bradley). Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Burnaby, BC, the company operates as a privately held manufacturer with 201–500 employees, active in North America, Asia, and beyond. Revenue generation comes from hardware sales, integration services, and software licensing; pain points include supplier quality management, margin improvement, and expanding addressable market into 2D smart cameras and adjacent application domains.
