Many Machine Vision companies were already suffering from severe cyber attacks, the most known example being Basler AG by the end of 2021. Among our clients alone, 3 companies were majorly hit within the last 24 months.

The European Machine Vision Association is inviting CEO’s, CIO’s and IT administrators of machine vision players to join the EMVA Peer Group on IT-Security: https://lnkd.in/exgp8k_y This member-only group provides a private platform to exchange best practices for common challenges.
On March 22nd, the EMVA is organizing the first online meeting on IT-Security https://lnkd.in/eZ_bTqSP hosted by EMVA Board Member Ronald Mueller.

Let’s join forces to be better protected against the perfidious attempts of criminals and hostile governments. Registration runs via joining the LinkedIn Group.

The EMVA is happy to announce that the AGENDA of the 21. EMVA Business Conference in Seville, Spain, is published.
Around 80 vision tech professionals from 13 countries already have registered and look forward to the conference program including presentations from companies and institutes like Basler, Imago Technologies, Fizyr, Fraunhofer IOSB, ifm, Nyris, VicomTech and more.
This year’s panel discussion counts on panelists representing AIT, Continental, Tiama and Teledyne.
Besides addressing technology, innovation and use cases the conference again will provide outstanding networking opportunities.

Experts of vision related standards from around the world will meet 17-20 April in Vienna, Austria, for their 2023 spring meeting supported by the global G3 group (A3, EMVA, JIIA, VDMA and CMVU).

Vision and image processing experts from around the world will discuss the further development of various vision related standards in the different working groups. Allways being one of the highlights, the meeting will include the traditional plugfest where engineers apply the standards connecting a wide range of products to test compatibility, functionality and technical performance.

In 2023 for the first time the EMVA1288 working group meeting will be held during the IVSM, by this surely supporting the exchange with the other standardisation professionals.

The meeting is offered as hybrid event and it is organised by the European Machine Vision Association – EMVA and counts on the Austrian Institute of Technology as main sponsor. Go to event ›

The focal topic of this latest forum in a sustained series of three one-day continuous education events since November 1995 organized by the IWR of Heidelberg University will be ‘Modern Optical Components for Machine Vision‘. It will take place at the Hochschule Aalen.
One highlight among many is a talk about the new EMVA standard ‘Open Optics Camera Interface’ (OOCI), given by the chair of this working group, Marcel Naggatz from Baumer Optronics.
EMVA members receive a 10% rebate on the registration fee. Go to event ›

The International Conference on Optical Characterization of Materials (OCM) will be held for the sixth time in March 2023.
OCM is organized by the Karlsruhe Center for Spectral Signatures of Materials (KCM) in cooperation with the German Chapter of the Instrumentation & Measurement Society of IEEE. KCM is an association of institutes of the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) and the business unit Automated Visual Inspection of the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB.

The FPD (Flat Panel Display) industry is a rapidly growing sector with a wide range of applications, from televisions and computers to mobile devices and automobiles. One important segment of this industry is the LCM (Liquid Crystal Module) production process, where COOLENS industrial lenses play a crucial role.

Advantages of COOLENS Lenses in LCM Production:
The use of COOLENS industrial lenses in the LCM production process offers several advantages. Firstly, the high precision and clarity of the lenses ensure that the liquid crystal layers are accurately aligned and functioning properly. This results in higher-quality and more consistent displays. Read more ›
