VSD's Machine Vision Summit 2026

The Machine Vision Summit 2026 is a two-day event focused on machine vision technology and its applications in industry. The summit is free to attend and will be offered in both virtual and onsite formats.

The event’s sessions provide technical and practical information on various topics including inspection, bin picking and sorting, optical character recognition (OCR), and imaging technologies that operate across visible and non-visible spectra. These are applied in manufacturing and logistics automation contexts.

The summit is intended for professionals involved in design and development, systems integration, quality control, engineering management, research and development, corporate management, and manufacturing or production engineering.

Keynote presentations will cover a range of subjects such as:

  • The use of machine vision to enable robotic independence by Gregory Hitz, Ph.D., managing director at Sevensense by ABB.
  • The evolving role of system vendors in the machine vision market during the rise of AI and commodity sensors, presented by Tom Brennan, president and founder of Artemis Vision.
  • A comparison of 3D vision technologies including structured light, time of flight, stereo vision, and laser triangulation by Dr. Daniel L. Lau from the University of Kentucky.
  • Building end-to-end data traceability into vision systems for quality assurance by Prashant Shah, COO of Lincode Labs.
  • A roundtable discussion on the impact of humanoid robots on traditional machine vision systems with industry experts Ronald Müller, Sebastien Dignard, and Joe Gemma.

The event is supported by Cognex, Omron Automation, Lucid Vision Labs, Pleora Technologies, ProPhotonix, Smart Vision Lights, and Zebra an will include TechTalks from their subject matter experts.

Registration is open and available for free.
