Cognex introduces VisionPro 10.0 and VisionPro Deep Learning 2.0, two new versions of the 'VisionPro' line of vision software products.

Teledyne e2v introduces the Tetra quad-linear CMOS sensor family, which is particularly suitable for food sorting, recycling, logistics, pick-and-place, document scanning and other machine vision applications.

Thanks to the cooperation between Kithara Software and PLC2 Design, specially developed real-time drivers have been created for the PCIe frame grabber card from PLC2.

Allied vision has two new models in the 'Goldeye' camera series: the Goldeye G-030 is equipped with the Sony IMX991 sensor, while the 1.3 MP Goldeye G-130 uses the Sony IMX990 sensor.
After a three-year absence, the machine vision industry met again in person at Vision 2021. Over 5,400 trade visitors came to Stuttgart for the restart of the leading trade fair for machine vision.

Framos introduces a technology for the transmission of camera data over a single coaxial cable using the GMSL2 protocol on the 'Jetson AGX Xavier' platform:

Matrix Vision has equipped the mvBlueNAOS camera modules with the cross-platform PCI Express interface, which is used in all PC systems and embedded processor platforms. This means that the camera modules can be used across all platforms.

With its vision installation solutions, Murrelektronik now offers a concept for decentralized installation solutions for industrial image processing.
The main focus of Industry 4.0 is on the intelligent networking of machines. Human work in production, on the other hand, is often still measured and analyzed using antiquated methods. Computer vision and artificial intelligence can remedy this.
Fully automated production lines and autonomous transport systems such as AGVs require image processing systems that can implement complex object detections and classifications in real time. Artificial intelligence is proving to be helpful here.

With the InspectorP61x, Sick is launching a compact all-in-one 2D vision sensor that enables inline vision inspections even in the tightest of spaces or mounted on robots.

The 'Ensenso S' 3D camera from IDS is particularly suitable for 3D applications that require easy-to-integrate, industrial-grade camera technology.

The intelligent code readers in the DMR4XX line from IOSS automatically adapt their reading strategy by continuously improving during the process: the more codes are read, the more strategies the integrated software generates or optimizes.

Cognex is the world's leading supplier of industrial image processing. Cognex systems mimic the human eye and brain. Each system consists of optics, an image sensor and high-speed electronics that together capture an image.

Matrox Imaging has launched AltiZ, a 3D laser profile sensor that works on the principle of laser triangulation. However, two cameras are integrated into its housing instead of just one.

Intel abandons the development of high-tech cameras for use in robot technology and 3D scanners, which it has been driving forward for years.

IDS Imaging Development Systems
On August 1, the shareholders of IDS appointed Alexander Lewinsky to the management board. Together with Jan Hartmann, he will take over the operational management of the industrial camera manufacturer.

With the solutions for non-destructive testing (NDT) in the image processing software 'EyeVision 4' from EVT, the extended command set for NDT is available. According to the provider, this simplifies the detection of cavities or other structures within an object
Messe Stuttgart is planning its machine vision trade fair Vision as a real event in October. This is made possible by the updated Corona Ordinance of the state of Baden-Württemberg. Two other trade fairs will be held in parallel.
