VISION SHOW PREVIEW >
to attract as many new attendees, people that are new into machine vision technology, new users, to bring them to the upcoming show.” Mark Williamson, Chairman of the VDMA Machine Vision Division, also believes that the event will be something of a turning point for industry fortunes. He said: “Overall, it’s still a very good industry, with 9% growth on average in the last 10 years. Vision technologies are actually outperforming the wider industry, which is really positive, showing that machine vision is a robust market to be in.Having a drop in order entry in the second half of 2023 is what’s causing the lower revenue in 2024. The feedback we’re getting from the monthly statistics is, we expect this to start to pick up in probably three to six months, and people are beginning to say the recovery will start in Q4. We’re seeing the beginnings of this happening, so Vision is going to be a very interesting point of view by then, we will know how it’s been throughout the year, and see how
Theia Technologies, booth 10A47
Theia will showcase its TL410 lens demonstrating the motorised zoom and focus capabilities as they relate to production line inspection and pick and sort environments with variable object size and distance requirements. The demo will highlight the lens’ 300 lp/mm resolution performance in visible and NIR, and its remote filter switching ability for multi-spectral applications. The lens will image barcodes, produce and circuit boards, changing zoom and focus remotely to maintain excellent image quality.
Theia’s versatile TL410 motorised zoom and focus lens has a 4-10mm varifocal range, allowing precise adjustment of the HFOV from 44 – 112° on a 1/1.7” sensor. The lens provides 300 lp/mm resolution in visible and NIR light suitable for imaging high detail components. With NIR correction from 435-940nm it enables excellent image quality in multi-spectral applications. Its motorised zoom, focus, and iris enable remote operation to minimise manual intervention and costly line downtime.

things are. But, we believe, moving into 2025, we should get back into a positive recovery, and we believe in our industry. The feedback is that things will remain strong. New applications are still coming along, new leads are still coming along and it is very positive. Vision will play a key part in refuelling that for future growth.”
Olaf Munkelt, Managing Director at
MVTec Software, echoed this sentiment: “Vision in Stuttgart showcases the technological trends in the international machine vision industry and attracts large numbers of visitors every two years. The first-rate discussions with trade visitors are what makes Vision so special. It is very exciting to become personally acquainted at Vision with the people behind the companies and technologies. It’s a window because it presents, in various forums, technology markets, trends, and standardisation. So, it’s a
