InfoSight
InfoSight Corporation was formed in 1993 from the divestiture of the large, custom designed side of the business from Telesis Marking Systems. InfoSight manufactures industrial marking machines, metal tags, metal tag printers, barcode readers and custom machinery for manual and automatic identification applications worldwide.
InfoSight Corporation employs 48 people, 12 of whom were full-time trained factory workers and engineers formerly employed by Telesis. InfoSight is situated on 25 acres in Chillicothe, Ohio, USA. Next to the current office/laboratory building, a new production building was constructed in September 1994 to house the manufacturing and engineering facilities.
Dr. John A. Robertson, founder and President of InfoSight, started Telesis as an "invention on demand" shop in 1971 without a specific focus, but based upon patents in materials marking technology. A niche was discovered in industrial customized marking of steel.
The large customized machines are sold to heavy manufacturers for identification markings on rubber and primary metal products and are more intensively customized for one-off application.
Primary steel mills need to keep track of their cast products and finished goods...where it came from, what was done to it and where it went. When individual pieces are "tracked", the mill can enhance quality and limit potential liability. The techniques for providing traceability vary greatly depending on the product and its processes.
