“My main objective as a member of the EMVA board would be to help EMVA member companies to incorporate newest research results into their products to gain competitive advantage over their competitors. During my first two three-year terms as member of the board of directors, I established the annual European Machine Vision Forum for networking between research and industry (“Where research meets industry”), initiated the new EMVA standard for open optics camera interface (OOCI), and started the certification program for EMVA 1288 experts. If elected, I will continue activities in these directions with focus on extending the EMVA continuous education program with certification.”
