The appetite for vision and automation remains strong, but there is still a lot of uncertainty at the present time, were the views of the heads of the AIA, EMVA, VDMA Machine Vision, and UKIVA in a webinar
UKIVA has changed its Machine Vision Conference to an online technology hub
The AIA in the USA will run its Vision Week from 18 to 22 May; the EMVA will host a one-day virtual business conference on 26 June; and UKIVA will open its Technology Presentation Hub on 14 May
Imaging and Machine Vision Europe hosted a live panel discussion featuring the heads of VDMA, EMVA, AIA and UKIVA to discuss vision's response to the Covid 19 crisis
Participants will gain experience with EMVA 1288 standard measurements, using the required measuring equipment. They will learn the optimum setup, and how to analyse the results. The course is targeted to all who applies the EMVA 1288 standard, either in development or when testing and comparing cameras. The speaker is Prof. Dr. Bernd Jähne, a member of the EMVA board with many years of experience in teaching and education.
