A new factory to manufacture 700 multispectral cameras in 2028, then 1,600 in 2031. This is the ramp-up that Silios Technologies is preparing. Born in 2021, this company has developed a pixelated multispectral filter technology, called Color Shades.
Integrated between the 2D sensor and the optics of a camera, this filtering makes it possible to see 8 to 25 colors instead of three and thus recover more data on the targeted object or scene. The technology, the subject of six patents, is popular in space and R&D, with the company already working with Cnes on a lunar robot.
Objective: 6 million euros in turnover
Located in Rousset (Bouches-du-Rhône), the future factory should be commissioned in 2026. It should facilitate the production of cameras dedicated to tailor-made applications for customers. The sectors targeted are vast: industry (for process control on a production line, detection of impurities, humidity, etc.); defense (for the distinction of devices, weapons or camouflaged soldiers); agriculture (for the detection of diseases or parasites on land, the fine-tuning of fertilizer quantities, etc.); biology (for the observation of materials or the sorting of waste with the distinction of plastics, wood, metals, etc.).
Thanks to this imaging activity, Silios Technologies hopes to go from a turnover of 1.2 million euros in 2023 to nearly 6 million euros in four years. And jump from 9 to 27 employees. #
