The impressive list of EVE-2019 Speakers includes embedded vision professionals like keynote speaker David Austin, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel Corp., Neil Trevett, Vice President Developer Ecosystems at NVIDIA, Jagan Ayyaswami, Sr. Director of Mobile Architecture and Systems at Micron Technology or Takashi Someda, CTO at Hacarus Inc.
The conference supplementing table-top exhibition already counts on well known brands like Active Silicon ++ Allied Vision ++ Baumer ++ Framos ++ Gidel ++ IDS ++ iniVation ++ OptoMotive ++ Phytec ++ Sedeco Imaging ++ The Imaging Source ++ Vision Components presenting their embedded vision components, systems and developments.
Up to now there are still opportunities available to become sponsor or exhibitor of Embedded VISION Europe. Details at www.embedded-vision-emva.org.
Embedded VISION Europe 2019 targets developers and users of embedded (vision) systems from all industries. The conference will be supplemented by an exhibition where all participating companies are invited to show their embedded vision expertise through products and applications.
European Machine Vision Forum
European Forum in Lyon – Last seats available
Don’t miss the opportunity to get one of the last seats at the 4th edition of EMVA’s European Machine Vision Forum, taking place 5-6 September in the Palais de la Bourse, Lyon, France.
‘Photonics and Machine Vision: Going Deep into Integration‘.
The program is finalized and the speakers for the so-called “French Evening”, which provides insights in the domestic machine vision eco system, have also been assigned. So just have a look at the packed agenda we’ll have in Lyon!

VDMA
OPC Machine Vision Companion Specification Part 1 – Released
OPC UA Companion Specification for Machine Vision (short: OPC Machine Vision) aims at straightforward integration of a machine vision system into production control and IT systems. The scope is not only to complement or substitute existing interfaces between a machine vision system and its process environment by OPC UA, but also to create non-existent horizontal and vertical integration abilities to communicate relevant data to other authorized process participants, e.g., up to the IT enterprise level.
