Tell me a bit about what is going on in automated vision (in the industry)? Are you busy? Lighting?, lenses, AI, data, security and robot guidance? USE CASES What kind of vision “inquires” do you get from customers? How do you go about it, do you need a specification before you do a project? Engineering study? What does the future look like for vision, any predictions? Did we forget to talk about anything?
