"PPT VISION's IMPACT intelligent camera product line realized a unit volume increase of 40% and a dollar sales increase of 27% in FY2006 in comparison to FY2005," stated Joe Christenson, president of PPT VISION. "In fact, the company shipped more than 1000 IMPACT intelligent cameras for the first time in a given fiscal year. The fact that total revenue in FY2006 was flat in comparison to the prior year is due to the fact that sales of our phased-out legacy products declined by 81% on a year-over-year basis. Going forward, we now expect almost 100% of the company's revenue to be based on the IMPACT intelligent camera product line," concluded Christenson.
