Based primarily onsite with clients, our engineers work on software design, testing, project installation, commissioning and validation.
Our Track & Trace Installation & Commissioning Engineers train onsite in Italy, at the HQ of our key partners Antares Vision. This ensures the highest level of knowledge and competency in installing and supporting Antares Vision's solutions for Serialisation, Aggregation and Track & Trace.

I would like to congratulate [Crest Solutions Engineer] on his work. He is skilled and confident at his job. Not only was the line configured successfully, but also a few pre-existing issues were solved. He did a fantastic job and we couldn’t ask anything else from him. We look forward to seeing him again.
