April 2023 – EMVA

The EMVA Business Conference again will be the place to be for leaders in the machine vision industry.

Next week the vision community will meet in Seville, Spain, and the who-is-who of our industry gets together for a top notch programme, to celebrate EMVA’s 20th anniversary and to meet other professionals. Already 120+ face-to-face business meetings are scheduled and offer the opportunity to most efficiently use the conference breaks for networking.

Within the set conference agenda the panel discussion is supposed to be a highlight again. Experts will exchange their ideas on the question:

Machine Vision 2040:
Will all the challenges be solved?

Moderated by vision specialist and editor-in-chief of the inVISION magazine,
Dr. Peter Ebert, the panel counts on the expertise of:

Petra Thanner, Austrian Institute of Technology
Nuria Garrido Lómez, Continental Automotive

Dr. Martin Klenke, Teledyne
Benjamin Cocquelin, Tiama

EMVA management and event team are on the very last preparations and look forward to catch up with members and non-members, colleagues and friends for an informative conference and enjoyable side events in one of the most attractive cities in Europe.

With standards working group meetings, Future Standards Forum and Plugfest the spring International Vision Standards Meeting laid once again the foundation for interoperability of cameras, systems and software.

More than 100 developers from Europe, North America and Asia representing about forty machine vision companies met during the spring edition of the International Vision Standards Meeting (IVSM) from 17-20 April in Vienna which was hosted by the EMVA and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) where the event was held. The International Vision Standards Meeting combines the global machine vision standardization efforts and goes back two decades to the kick-off meeting for the GigE Vision standard in June 2003. Since then, the supporting associations A3 (North America), CMVU (China), EMVA (Europe), JIIA (Japan), and VDMA (Germany) alternate as hosts for the biannual meetings.

The future is made of wood – sustainable and energy-efficient. Ultra-modern prefabricated houses, like those of the manufacturer FingerHaus from Frankenberg (Eder), are on the rise. Demand is high in an industry that is booming, but simultaneously being hit by a shortage of skilled employees. The burden on existing staff has to be eased as much as possible so that they can be used exclusively for complex tasks, while the focus remains on maximum quality through high process reliability. In order to meet these challenges, BETH Sondermaschinen GmbH has developed and implemented a comprehensive plant concept that includes both, the semi-automated production of the wooden frameworks and the automated paneling of wall elements.
