Experts will meet at VISION in Stuttgart from 8 to 10 October 2024 in order to present and discuss trend topics and innovations in the machine vision industry.

What technologies will have a decisive effect on the future of the industry? Interesting insights into trend topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), hyperspectral imaging, embedded Vision and 3D will be provided during VISION.

Hyperspectral imaging in conjunction with AI opens up many different application areas in medical technology, the food industry and, for example, the recycling industry.

Lars Rosenkvist Fenger, CEO of Qtechnology A/S, emphasised: "Hyperspectral imaging with a higher spectral resolution enables very precise material identification. Worldwide, less than 5 per cent of plastics are recycled. Using hyperspectral imaging, however, we can now already separate all types of plastic polymers. This means that we have ways to recycle plastics. Qtechnology A/S has chosen a targeted approach for AI and hyperspectral cameras. We will present our new hyperspectral cameras at VISION. Since they are some of the best in their class, we want to show them to the entire world."

Embedded vision technologies offer intelligent application solutions by enabling very compact and highly efficient machine vision systems.

Jan-Erik Schmitt, VP of Sales at Vision Components, provided an insight: "The influence of AI is increasing continuously through the integration of AI chips in processors. VISION is the leading event for the machine vision industry and is becoming increasingly important in the area of embedded vision. Vision Components specialises 110% in embedded vision and will present the latest trends such as MIPI connections to processors, extended accessories, innovative functionalities and various FPGA accelerators at this year's VISION."

3D sensors are being used for applications in the areas of electronics and e-mobility, for example the inspection of surfaces. They will be presented in October.

"The highest concentration of experts in machine vision can be found at VISION. Users can find all technologies for their applications in one place. During VISION, AT will present the new 3D sensor series XCS which was developed together with electronics OEMs. The XCS detects the smallest surface details by means of high-quality laser line projection and precise optics. Since speed and software solutions also play an important role in the area of 3D, we will specifically address these topics," said Daniel Seiler, CEO of AT – Automation Technology GmbH.

The special highlights in the area of trend topics at VISION will be the Industrial VISION Days, the Scientific VISION Days and the presentation of the VISION Award. During the world's largest talk forum for machine vision, visitors will be able to experience technologies and practical applications which will shape the future of machine vision.
