Antares Vision Group

Antares Vision Group is an inspection and traceability technology company founded in 2007 in Travagliato, near Brescia, Italy, now employing more than 1,000 people with over 35,000 installations across more than 60 countries. In March 2026 it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Crane NXT while continuing to operate under its own brand and product lines, selling serialization, track-and-trace and quality inspection systems to food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers.

For the food sector, its FT System division builds traceability and data management solutions that assign serialized digital identities to products via QR codes, data matrix or RFID, then aggregate them into cartons, pallets and batches for farm-to-fork tracking across categories such as meat, dairy, fish, oils and ready meals.
