How long does it take for new machine vision technology to become adopted as a ‘standard tool’ in real-world applications? Tis was one of the many interesting questions posed to the panel of experts at the recent UKIVA round-table webinar, chaired by Imaging and Machine Vision Europe’s managing director, Warren Clark. It provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to have direct interaction with some of the leading figures from the UK and European machine vision industries, with the focus on the latest machine vision trends and technologies. Te webinar followed hot on the heels
of the launch of UKIVA’s Machine Vision Conference Technology Presentation Hub 2021 (
www.machinevisionconference.co.uk) on 15 July. Te hub hosts a set of more than
renowned experts in machine vision, cover the latest developments and practical uses of vision technology. Te most popular content to date, based on unique page views, has once again been deep learning and embedded vision, and camera technology, as it was for the 2020 hub. Tree key factors influence the adoption of new technologies such as deep learning: capabilities, ease of use and affordability, and in machine vision these are often driven by software developments and processor performance. Tis has certainly been the case in recent years for deep learning and embedded vision as well as other techniques such as hyperspectral imaging, which are now much more readily accessible. During the UKIVA webinar, the panel discussed these factors and looked at the parallels with 3D imaging, which is now a well-established machine vision tool. A full recording of the
webinar is available at
www.ppma.co.uk/ ukiva/vision-events/machine-vision-trends-
technologies.html. While it was not possible to hold MVC as
an in-person event this year, it will return to the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, UK, on 28 April 2022. In the meantime, other events in the UK, such as the PPMA show 2021 at the NEC, Birmingham (28 to 30 September), are providing opportunities for face-to-face discussion. Eleven UKIVA members who are involved in serving the processing and packaging industry are taking part in the PPMA show. It is also good to see that the Vision show in Stuttgart has been confirmed as taking place. Webinars and online events will continue
to provide access to important information. However, the return of conferences and trade exhibitions will no doubt prove to be popular with exhibitors and visitors alike. Tey offer a unique platform for discussing application problems with experts in the field, finding out about the latest technology in a single location, and developing genuine networking opportunities.

Experience innovative technologies!
Artifi cial intelligence, embedded vision and the tight interlocking of machine vision and automation create new possibilities – for the smart factory of tomorrow and for the steadily expanding non-industrial applications.
