Against speechlessness
When two say something, they don't always mean the same thing, but especially in machine vision projects a misunderstanding can be fatal. In order to enable uniform communication between user and system integrator, the VDI/VDE/VDMA guideline series 2632 was created, in which system manufacturers, integrators and users were involved. It is a pity that unfortunately far too few users and manufacturers still use this tool. A correctly created requirement specification enables even complex vision projects to be implemented much faster and cheaper, and the user ultimately gets exactly what he really wants.
Kind regards
Dr.-Ing. Peter Ebert, Chief Editor inVISION

Reduce Time to Market with Transport Layer IP Cores
Several months of work by protocol engineers is typically required to design an interface for a vision system. A number of vision camera manufactures, such as Ozray, Crevis and Sick, are addressing this challenge by purchasing transport layer interfaces in the form of intellectual property (IP) which is provided ready to incorporate into FPGAs along with other camera features.

Number of Mechanical Engineers at Record Level
According to a VDMA engineering survey, the mechanical and plant engineering sector is still on record course in terms of engineering employment. According to the survey, the number of mechanical engineers continued to rise to 199,800, an absolute increase of 9,200 compared to the previous survey in 2016. The proportion of engineers, measured by the number of employees, has also increased again and now amounts to 17.1%. However, 64% of the companies expect a future shortage of qualified applicants across all fields of activity, compared with only 51% in 2016.

VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 Series of Standards
The VDI/VDE/VDMA 2632 guideline series creates a common basis and structures communication between providers and users. The guidelines help to avoid misunderstandings and to handle projects efficiently and successfully. Sheet 1 defines basic principles and terms, while Sheet 2 provides guidelines for the preparation of specifications. Sheet 3 describes the acceptance of classifying image processing systems. The document is bilingual (German and English) and can therefore also be used in communication with international customers.
