EMVA welcome MBJ Imaging as member

MBJ Imaging was born from the conviction of two engineers that it must be possible to manufacture lighting for machine vision so inexpensive and at the same time of such high quality that it is not necessary for anyone to develop their own lighting. This idea still guides us in what we do.
The team behind MBJ consists of experts with many years of experience in the industry and high technological competence. But even more important is the passion and absolute customer focus: we burn for the best solution for our customers.

EMVA welcomes Spectricity NV as new member

EMVA lifts EMVA 1288 Standard to ISO Level

International experts are invited to join the ISO-TC42-Working Group 28.

Barcelona/Spain, November 22nd, 2024. Based on the positive and ongoing evolution towards more and more matured applications of vision technologies, in specific cameras and image sensors, the EMVA Board of Directors, representing the association’s members, has decided to lift the EMVA 1288 Standard up to an international standardization level. Consequently in 2023 the EMVA proposed the EMVA 1288 Standard to become an ISO Standard. In October 2024 the item proposal got accepted by the ISO Technical Committee 42 ‘Photography’ and the specific working group WG 28 has been founded and initiated its work. International experts are invited to bring in their expertise by joining the ISO-TC42-WG28.

Standards are backbone of machine vision industry
“Establishing international standards has been and will be crucial for the successful application of vision technologies not only in the industrial world but increasingly also in logistics, traffic, medical and several other user segments”, says EMVA General Manager Thomas Lübkemeier. Already in 2005, the first module of the EMVA 1288 Standard was officially released by the members and contributors of the EMVA hosted working group. Meanwhile the ‘Standard for Measurement and Presentation of Specifications for Machine Vision Sensors and Cameras’ continuously has been further developed and the Release 4.1 is close to be finalized. “The EMVA 1288 Standard today is well accepted and especially camera producers worldwide apply the standard in their production lines and quality assurance departments”, Thomas Lübkemeier confirms.

Experts invited to contribute
The ISO – International Organization for Standardization is a network of 172 national standards bodies. ISO members are the foremost standards organizations in their country and there is only one member per country. Each member represents ISO in its country and is entitled to nominate experts into the various ISO working groups.
Experts motivated to share their expertise to the ISO-24942 initiative may find more details on how to join at EMVA’s website and of course via the official ISO channels.
