The GenICam standard working group has elected its Chairs for the upcoming two-year term. During the International Vision Standards Meeting – Fall ’25 in Haikou, China, Michael Schmidt (Basler) was re-elected as Chair. Also the long-serving Vice-chair Christoph Zierl (MvTec) was re-elected, along with the two additional Vice-chairs James Falconer (Pleora Technologies) and Marcel Naggatz (Baumer Optronic). The election guarantees continuity and provides the option of a smooth handover in the event of future changes in Chairship. It is pending approval of the EMVA board representing the hosting association EMVA.
