High-performance line scan lenses engineered for Singapore's precision manufacturing, semiconductor wafer inspection, and electronics quality control sectors.
Canrill Optics, established in 2009, is the first manufacturer to focus on the manufacturing & marketing of telecentric lenses and telecentric lens design in China — and the only company in the world to build a complete supply chain with its own mechanical factory and optical factory in the industrial lens sector.
As a leading custom lens manufacturer, Canrill lenses have been upgraded through four generations of advanced technology and performance, earning the trust of worldwide clients and forging successful partnerships with world-famous brands including Samsung, Apple, LG, Huawei, Han's Laser, and TSMC.
“Our objective is to produce a top-level lens and become one of the leaders in telecentric technology. From manufacturing to creation, we are on the way.”


Decades of optical innovation, trusted by global technology leaders across Singapore and beyond.
Singapore stands as one of Southeast Asia's most advanced industrial hubs, making it a critical market for high-precision line scan camera and lens technologies.
Singapore is home to major semiconductor fabrication plants operated by GlobalFoundries, Micron, and other global players. Line scan cameras are essential for wafer surface defect detection, photomask inspection, and yield improvement in these facilities, where sub-micron precision is non-negotiable.
Singapore's electronics manufacturing sector, including PCB assembly, SMT inspection, and flat panel display quality control, relies heavily on line scan imaging systems. Companies like Flex, Celestica, and Venture Corporation deploy line scan cameras for automated optical inspection (AOI) to meet stringent quality standards.
As one of the world's busiest container ports, the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) leverages line scan cameras for container code reading, cargo scanning, and conveyor belt inspection. These systems enable seamless, high-speed throughput while maintaining rigorous security and accuracy standards.
Singapore's growing biomedical manufacturing cluster — supported by EDB and JTC — uses line scan imaging for blister pack inspection, label verification, and sterile packaging quality control. Precision optics ensure compliance with FDA and HSA regulatory requirements.
High-speed printing facilities in Singapore deploy line scan cameras for colour consistency checks, barcode verification, and currency or security document inspection. The technology enables real-time quality monitoring at production speeds exceeding thousands of metres per minute.
With Singapore's push towards green energy under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, solar panel cell inspection and EV battery electrode coating quality control are emerging application areas where line scan cameras play a pivotal role in ensuring product reliability and safety.
Singapore's vision as a Smart Nation and advanced manufacturing powerhouse is accelerating the adoption of line scan camera technologies across multiple industries.
Singapore's manufacturers are rapidly integrating AI and deep learning algorithms with line scan camera systems. This combination enables real-time defect classification, predictive quality control, and adaptive inspection — dramatically reducing false rejection rates and boosting throughput in semiconductor and electronics production lines.
Demand for 16K and beyond line scan cameras is growing in Singapore's precision industries. Wider sensor formats (62mm, 82mm) and telecentric lenses that support these resolutions are increasingly specified by Singapore-based system integrators and OEMs to handle larger inspection fields without sacrificing accuracy.
Driven by Singapore's Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) framework and EDB incentives, local manufacturers are upgrading to fully automated production lines where line scan cameras serve as the eyes of intelligent quality management systems, feeding data to digital twins and MES platforms for closed-loop process control.
As factory footprints in Singapore shrink due to high land costs, demand for compact, high-performance line scan lens assemblies is rising. Canrill's advanced optical engineering delivers full performance in reduced form factors, enabling integration into space-constrained inspection stations without compromising image quality.
Singapore's food safety, pharmaceutical, and recycling industries are exploring multi-spectral line scan imaging to detect contaminants, verify material composition, and sort recyclables. This trend is pushing optical manufacturers to develop lenses with broader spectral transmission and minimal chromatic aberration.
Post-pandemic, Singapore-based manufacturers are prioritising supply chain resilience by partnering with reliable, quality-certified optical component suppliers. Canrill Optics' ISO 9001-certified manufacturing and RoHS-compliant products align perfectly with Singapore's stringent procurement and sustainability standards.
