VisionChina (ShangHai) has witnessed the development and progress of the industry, and our company will participate in the exhibition again next year.”
Steady Progress with Renewed Confidence
Considering the problems and challenges encountered by the industry during the Covid-19 epidemic, the Machine Vision Technology and Industrial Application Conference held along with VisionChina 2020 convened 24 VIP speakers to share about trends and practices in the industry. The conference focus on the integration of vision technology and other innovative technologies as artificial intelligence, 5G+, embedded vision and deep learning. Moreover, innovative solutions such as image sensing, 3D machine vision, AI vision, automatic machine vision, industrial inspection, visual inspection, new infrastructure construction, and intelligent manufacturing are covered to provide new ideas for accelerating the development and upgrade of the machine vision industry, and help practitioners regain confidence. All in all, the conference aims to exemplify the new industry environment after the epidemic.
A visitor, who work for HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. said: “The main purpose of this visit is to participate in the machine vision application forum. The exhibition has been very fruitful, which helped me learn a lot about the cutting-edge technology and concepts of machine vision and allowed me to apply to my work. I will visit VisionChina (ShangHai) again next year.”
A visitor, who work for Weiyi Zhizao Technology Co., Ltd. Said: “Our company visits VisionChina (ShangHai) every year. The lenses, light sources and other exhibits displayed at the exhibition are all I interested in. We will continue to visit VisionChina (ShangHai) next year.”
Boost VisionChina with Innovation Awards
In addition to the conference, the Innovative Machine Vision Award, sponsored by the China Machine Vision Industry Union (CMVU) and screened for several rounds by expert committee, were presented at the exhibition. These award-winning products reflected the development and progress of the machine vision industry, and attracted many visitors to make inquiries.
