Association news EMVA plans for Vision 2021 as membership grows By Thomas Lübkemeier
At Vision 2021 in Stuttgart, from 5 to 7 October, the EMVA will again host the International Vision Standards Booth located in hall 8, B50. Visitors will find information on the most commonly used machine vision interface standards and be able to speak to experts regarding future developments. During Vision the EMVA will announce details about its new online autumn webinar concept, the EMVA Spotlight series. Te EMVA has decided to postpone the popular International Vision Night to the 2022 edition of Vision.
Board meeting defines roles During its recent in-person meeting, the new EMVA board of directors confirmed Dr Chris Yates as EMVA president and elected Professor Dr Bernd Jähne as EMVA vice president, while Arndt Bake from Basler was elected as new treasurer of the association.
Market trends Te EMVA quarterly machine vision sales
report for the second quarter of 2021 gives mixed messages for the vision sector. While the second quarter of this year was extremely strong, with a 25 per cent sales increase compared to the same quarter a year ago, industry sentiment for the coming six months has darkened. While in the first quarter of this year 82 per cent of the statements said sales would increase in the coming six months, the supplier outlook has changed to a more pessimistic view, with 72 per cent predicting the next six months of sales will be flat.
New members EMVA membership has risen again during the summer and becomes even more diverse. It is our pleasure to welcome six new EMVA member companies and institutes, starting with Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK), which presents itself as a research partner for digitally integrated production. Secondly, Taiwan’s Neousys Technology
has joined the association. Te company designs and manufactures industrial-grade embedded modules and systems, with core expertise ranging from embedded computing to data acquisition and processing, generating solutions for automation, machine vision, transportation, GPU computing, surveillance and video analytics.
Anticipation building for Vision Stuttgart
and signal progress far beyond the machine vision industry. And once again, it is the machine vision industry that is moving forward with dynamism and optimism. Preparations for Vision
By Dr Klaus-Henning Noffz, chairman of the board of VDMA Machine Vision and director of new business development at Basler
The VDMA’s machine vision group – and also the entire VDMA with its 36 trade associations and 3,200 members – is incredibly excited about Vision 2021. As one of the first trade fairs in Germany to take place again after one and a half years of digital events, Vision will have a great impact
2021 are in full swing, not only among exhibitors, but also among the board and at the VDMA Machine Vision office. In August, we had to review more than 65 submissions for the Industrial Vision Days, and select who would get one of the much sought-after presentation slots. The selection was particularly difficult this year. Exhibitors are eager to present recent trends and innovations in as practice- oriented, comprehensible and entertaining a manner as

possible. Also, VDMA Machine Vision is organising two panel discussions, one on smart cameras and smart sensors, the other on deep learning. Like all of the more than 260 Vision exhibitors, VDMA Machine Vision is hoping for full halls and lively participation in the presentation forum and at the exhibition stands. But we already know: not everyone who had intended to come to Stuttgart in 2021 will be able to do so. Those who cannot attend
the trade fair will be missing out on a lot! Fortunately, Messe Stuttgart will be streaming the Industrial Vision Days. This does not replace meetings and exchanges on site – be it at product demonstrations on
stands or during the discussions and presentations at the forum – we are all aware of that. But we hope that many new and old customers will be able to attend this year’s Vision, and that others will be able to connect digitally via the forum. And that there will be a general feeling that the machine vision community around the globe will look towards Vision in Stuttgart, the leading trade fair for machine vision. You will find the VDMA team
at the Industrial Vision Days forum, at Vision Start-up World, at the international vision standards booth and, of course, at the VDMA booth opposite the Industrial Vision Days. We look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with you!
