Lean customer staffing opens opportunities for system integrators
A discussion with David Dechow of aptúra Machine Vision Solutions
VSD: What is aptúra's role in designing vision systems for end users?
Dechow: We provide turnkey machine-vision solutions and engineering support over a wide range of machine-vision technologies, covering a broad scope of industrial applications. Machine vision has been evolving over the past several years, both as a technology and as a market. Components for use in integrated solutions are continually becoming easier to use and understand for the plant floor engineer. At the same time, corporations that seek to apply machine-vision technology have reduced their engineering staff and become leaner. As a result, it is rare to find an end-user company with a true "machine-vision guru" or even a champion for the technology.
