Feel the new HeartbeatFollowing 25 successful years and a huge anniversary trade fair in 2012, VISION is setting the course for the future: In the future the leading world trade fair for machine vision will take place every two years.

The new two-year cycle will better satisfy the modified needs of a mature machine vision industry, which is shaped in many product areas by longer innovation cycles, and was requested by many exhibitors. The key players from all over the world will thus offer new products and innovations on a scale never seen before. VISION will therefore become more interesting for everyone who wants to invest in machine vision.

This means:The new two-year cycle will give VISION greater magnitude, attractiveness and significance and will increase its quality and efficiency both for exhibitors and visitors. VISION will further strengthen its status as the leading world trade fair.

The new Heartbeat 0504 The new Heartbeat

Dr. Vasant Desai /// CEO, XIMEA GmbHMax Larin /// CEO, XIMEA GmbH

“We welcome the change of our main trade fair VISION in Stuttgart to a two-year cycle, as it will better reflect the innovation cycle, in particular for camera development. For instance, we can accept more direct impulses from end users and implement them in the development steps. With the new cycle we are expecting a significant improve-ment in the trade fair in the coming years and are looking forward to VISION 2014 in Stuttgart.”

Jennifer Yeung /// Marketing Manager, Point Grey Research Inc.

“VISION is and remains for us a big and important trade fair at which we continue to be able to acquire new customers from all over the world.”

Dr. Dietmar Ley /// CEO, Basler AG

“As one of the largest and long-term exhibitors, we completely endorse the new show concept. We think that this year is the right time to change to a two-year cycle. We are already looking forward to many more successful VISION shows with exciting new products and the usual sophisticated supporting program.”

Dr. Wolfgang Ohnesorge /// Head of Technical Endoscopy, Richard Wolf GmbH

“As a visitor to VISION I am an avid supporter of the two-year cycle. Technical trade fairs become more attractive when they are able to present genuine innovations at reasonable intervals.”

Myriam Beraneck /// Machine Vision Marketing Manager Europe, SONY Europe Limited

“The new hall gave VISION a new look. It looks like a completely new trade fair. We had many contacts and the quality of visitors was good. Many existing customers came to our stand, as well as new customers, primarily from Germany, Italy, France and India. For SONY, VISION is the most important trade fair worldwide – a must-attend event for us.“

Dr. Joost van Kuijk /// Vice President of Marketing & Technology, Adimec Advanced Image Systems b.v.

“Since we can now prepare for VISION in an even more focused manner, we will come up with more innovations. I am confident the importance of VISION will therefore be further increased.”
