UKIVA MACHINE VISION CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION It’s back to Milton Keynes shortly as we attend the third U KIVA Machine Vision Conference and Exhibition.
The show will take place on 6 June at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. The organisers told MVPro Magazine that the event is becoming increasingly popular with attendance figures in 2018 up 17% compared to 2017. The 2019 iteration will follow a similar format to previous years, with a programme of technical seminars supported by an exhibition featuring vision component manufacturers, vision component and system distributors and systems integrators from around the world. The 2019 Conference will feature an additional theme, covering applications of vision in automation and robotics. Chris Valdes, UKIVA event organiser and business development manager for the PPMA (Processing & Packaging Machinery Association), said: “At the event in 2018, a number of exhibitors included robots and cobots in their displays, which provided a great deal of interest. There have also been recent developments in the communication standards for machine vision and robots for use in Industry 4.0, making technical seminars on vision, robotics and automation even more relevant.
The Machine Vision Conference program features around 60 technical seminars across eight different subject areas: Vision in Robotics, Understanding Vision Technology, Deep Learning & Embedded Vision, 3D Vision, Optics & Illumination, Camera Technology, Systems & Applications and Vision Innovation. The programme has been designed to provide interesting content ranging from ‘understanding vision technology’ to ‘vision innovation’. It accommodates visitors with any level of vision knowledge and experience, from those new to the subject to experts. A number of the presentations will include examples of the practical use of vision systems across a wide range of industries. Visitors are free to attend whichever talks are of the most interest and presenters will be on hand throughout the day for further discussions, providing delegates with outstanding opportunities to talk to people with experience of delivering real world vision solutions.
“UKIVA has a natural affinity with the combined use of vision and robotics as BARA (British Automation & Robotics Association) is, like UKIVA, part of the umbrella PPMA (Processing & Packaging Machinery Association) and many of our members have an active interest in BARA as well.”
