Sensors provide an unmanageable amount of data in industrial environments and in everyday life. If this data is properly analyzed using artificial intelligence, it can be used for many vision applications - turning simple cameras into intelligent sensors.

Despite difficult economic and political times, Leuze has far exceeded its own ambitious growth targets for 2022, as CEO Ulrich Balbach explained at the annual press conference.

After a year with Group sales of around EUR 560 million, Balluff remains on course for growth and is creating the necessary conditions for this by expanding its production capacities - including with a large-scale production facility in Mexico.

Marking products in a forgery-proof and cross-industry manner - with globally applicable standardization: VDE and its partners are now tackling this goal under the project name "SPOQ".

With its 12 MPixel sensors, the 3D camera 'BVS 3D-RV1' from Matrix Vision achieves a detection accuracy that is particularly necessary for handling small and complex parts in a larger field of view.

AT - Automation Technology has developed a sensor chip which, according to the company, makes the 3D sensors of the 'C6-3070' series the fastest in the world.

For the first time in the company's 77-year history, Pepperl+Fuchs has exceeded the threshold of one billion euros in annual global turnover. This means that the company has reached its original target of 2025 much earlier than planned.
