Take a look around and one can see the machine vision industry flexing more and more every day. Our Head of Content Sharon Spielman at Vision 2026 in Stuttgart is not only seeing—up close and personal—all kinds of innovation, but she tells us about the state of the European machine vision market as reported by the VDMA (hint: it’s growing).
And Europe isn't the only place seeing exciting things happening. Cognex Corporation’s upcoming acquisition of RealSense represents a $500 million investment not only in both companies’ futures but in the industry’s future as well.
