Tapping into optical technologies and precision processing / assembling technologies nurtured over many years, Fujifilm offers a wide variety of Fujinon lenses. The Fujinon brand is world-renowned for its innovative and reliable products in the field of broadcast & cine lenses, binoculars, CCTV lenses, machine vision applications as well as for special custom made optical products, for example those used in digital projectors, automobiles and in many other applications.

The German based company was founded 2016 by Dr. Ronald Mueller and Sourav Dutta, both engineers, each with over a decade of experience in machine vision. Bringing together the perspectives of an industrial camera manufacturer, a global imaging distributor, a vision system OEM, and a system integrator from earlier assignments, the founders have build up a platform designed to simplify and accelerate the product selection process for imaging customers: www.imaging.market.

Thanks to a rich product data and modern user interface features, the platform user can quickly identify products, which fulfill his requirements. Hence, he has the opportunity to request more information and a quotation from each manufacturer of the selected products with a single click and free of charge. Thus, Imaging.market simplifies and accelerates the generation of customer leads for the listed manufacturers. To constantly increase the value for customers and suppliers, the team of Imaging.market is continuously adding new products and usability features to the platform.

Evaluation of machine vision markets in the UK and Ireland.

The European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) has published its 2016 Market Report “Machine Vision in the UK and Ireland”. EMVA non-members can obtain the 59 paged pdf-report at a price of € 345,- plus VAT through info@emva.org.

The report for the first time maps the machine vision markets in the UK and Ireland. It covers the vision industry, their customers and the main applications as well as technical and commercial trends. In addition, the “eco system” for machine vision is described, including clusters, research centers and associations, trade shows and special magazines. This is being supplemented by market and growth drivers and an estimate of the market volume.

“Machine vision has a long tradition in the UK from the very beginning of the industry. Today, only a few component manufacturers are located in the country and the market is mainly supplied by vision technology through distributors”, says Andreas Breyer, EMVA’s Director of Market Research and adds: “Integrators play a significant role in the industrial use of machine vision, while the non-industrial sector is at least as important to the machine vision players and strongly growing also fostered by heavy computer vision research in practically all relevant universities across the country.”

In Ireland foreign direct investment is a pillar to the economy as many multinational end-users operate production sites in the country. Many of those are machine vision users. In addition, over the last decade Ireland has become a globally recognized center of excellence in the Life Sciences industry. Other than smart cameras, the main part of machine vision components is imported into Ireland. Notably, there is an extremely dynamic scene of companies which purely concentrate on non-industrial computer vision applications.

“Altogether we have identified close to 300 players in the UK machine vision market and over 40 players in the Irish machine vision market, all of them are listed by name and website in the report,” says Andreas Breyer.

With the current 2016 market report the EMVA continues the strategy to investigate all European markets through the eyes of the machine vision industry.

The 2016 EMVA conference joined 120 attendees and guests for top noche speeches and excellent networking opportunities in Edinburgh.

With his opening keynote ‘In or Out of Europe: An Economic Perspective‘ Martin Vander-Weyer, Financial Journalist and Columnist for The Spectator, got the audience into the Brexit scenario just days before the British referendum.
Very seldom a conference keynote hits an international industry relevant topic with such high currentness.

During 100+ pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings attendees could meet their peers and built new business relationships or simply exchange ideas with colleagues.

The work of Mr. Tolga Birdal, TU Munich, on ‘Reconstruction via Detection: Efficient and Automatic Reconstruction from Unorganized 3D Scans‘ was honored with the 2016 Young Professional Award.

In his conference wrap-up EMVA General Secretary Thomas Lübkemeier could look back on three days full of information but also very enjoyable networking hours during the evening events. Finally he announced the 2017 EMVA Business Conference to take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 22 – 24 June 2017.
