Attack From All Sides
The machine vision industry does not have it easy at the moment. All sides are attacking the traditional markets. For example, there are Asian companies that can also be found on the European market with their low-cost products; classic automation manufacturers that can currently be better integrated into automation environments with their vision products and are significantly easier to operate for vision beginners, and last but not least, companies from the embedded sector that are advancing towards industrial machine vision with their low-cost and low-energy solutions. For this reason, the classic machine vision industry must look at which technology innovations they can offer users in the future and which ideas and technologies can be successfully adopted from the three areas mentioned for their own product range. Software will play an important role, be it OPC UA, API or AI.
Kind regards

New member of the EXO family with Sony IMX428
SVS-Vistek introduces the exo428xU3 industrial camera with a resolution of 7.1 megapixels and a USB3 interface as a new member of SVS-Vistek's powerful EXO industrial camera family. With this resolution and the aspect ratio of almost 3: 2 (3208 x 2200 pixels), the camera is the modern, powerful CMOS alternative to the old ICX695 CCD sensor. At full resolution, it provides a frame rate of 51.4 fps, which is the maximum readout speed of the sensor.
