Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Machine Vision Insider, where our first stop takes you across the pond for a preview of the technologies attendees will experience at VISION 2026. As the industry continues its shift toward integrated hardware, intelligent edge processing, and secure, scalable networks, the event (to be held in Stuttgart, Germany from Oct. 6-8) will showcase the innovations engineers and integrators rely on to tackle increasingly complex inspection and automation challenges.
Also in this edition, what if motion blur could become a design advantage? Listen to my full interview with Michael John Fanous, Ph.D., on this week’s Visions podcast to find out.
A new episode of Focus on Vision dropped this week, too. Justine Murphy explores how advancements in AI are reshaping the machine vision industry. Be sure to tune in.
And if you haven't heard yet, Eureka Robotics and Shelley Automation have partnered to bring physical AI to North American factories. Read Senior Editor Jim Tatum’s story to learn more about the collaboration.
Before you go, take a crack at OptiLex, our machine vision wordplay game. It's a Wordlesque game. How quickly can you uncover this week's hidden word?
