October 2022

4-6 October 2022 the VISION, leading world trade fair for machine vision and the industry’s most important international meeting point again offered a unique platform in Stuttgart.

Already the eve before the show started, more than 100 vision professionals joined EMVA’s International Vision Night for networking in a casual setting.
During the show days the booth on International Machine Vision Standards offered insights to the most recent developments on MV Standards – a proposal well accepted by international visitors.

The EMVA looks forward to the next VISION show from

8 – 10 October 2024.

High international participation in the 30th version of VISION

A total of 6,505 visitors and 378 exhibitors in Stuttgart/High-quality meetings distinguish the trade fair

Two fully booked exhibition halls and two high-calibre lecture forums: The 30th VISION was held with an excellent atmosphere in the Alfred Kärcher Halle (hall 8) and Paul Horn Halle (hall 10).

Visitor and exhibitor numbers on the rise again!

VISION 2022 recorded a total number of 6,505 trade visitors. This made the world’s leading trade fair again the centre of the machine vision industry.

“VISION 2022 was a complete success and vastly exceeded our expectations – both in terms of visitors and exhibitors. It was also nice to see that, following the limitations caused by the pandemic last year, the event once again had a high international presence. This means that VISION once more developed along established structures also in terms of information procurement”, said Roland Bleinroth, President of Messe Stuttgart. Read more › *

Compare and Develop players

All professional soccer clubs face similar tasks: how do you evaluate the performance of a soccer player, how do you objectively compare different players, how can you measure progress, and how do you correctly assess potential of future stars? In the past, clubs relied on the statements of talent scouts and coaches. Today, empirical, objective comparison criteria is in great demand.

As part of its xiLAB initiative, XIMEA expands the xiJ family of cooled sCMOS cameras with models for XUV and Soft X-ray imaging.
For a long time, the diffraction limit defined by Ernst Abbe defined the natural barrier that restricts the resolution of small objects. To overcome this limitation multiple techniques like STED, STORM, PALM, TEM or others were developed, using advanced illumination and detection technologies.
In its original sense, the Abbe limit states, that the shorter the wavelength of the particle, the higher the resolution. Therefore the observability to resolve small structural features in the image is also higher. Read more ›
