Vision Systems Design announced the 2026 honorees for the Innovators Awards on Monday, June 22, at Automate 2026 in Chicago.
The awards celebrate machine vision/imaging products. Based on impartial ratings from a panel of judges, honorees were chosen in four categories: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The judges evaluate the submissions based on originality; innovation; impact on designers, systems integrators or end users; and whether it fulfills a new market need, leverages a novel technology, and/or increases productivity.
Categories for the submissions include vision systems, four camera types, frame grabbers and imaging boards, software, development kits, optics, lenses, lights, and connectivity products, such as cables, connectors and interfaces.
