inVISION Podcast

In the latest episode of the inVISION podcast “5 Questions” we delve deep into the fascinating world of embedded vision cameras! Join us as we speak with two leading experts in this field: Momchil Binev, Senior Product Manager for Cameras and Software at The Imaging Source, and Jan-Erik Schmitt, CEO of Vision Components.

We shed light on exciting questions such as: What makes embedded cameras unique compared to classic machine vision cameras? Which trends are currently shaping this dynamic area? We also take a look at the role of MIPI and give valuable tips on what users should pay attention to when selecting the optimal embedded system.

And best of all: Finally, we reveal the latest innovations that will be presented at the Embedded World in March at the Vision Components and The Imaging Source stands. Don't miss this exciting discussion, because there is a lot to discover!

The Test Camp Intralogistics in Dortmund stands out from traditional trade fairs and conferences by putting visitors at the center of the action. To explore what makes this event unique, we spoke with Thilo Joergl from impact Media Projects, the organizers of the Test Camp Intralogistics 2025 (March 26-27, 2025).

In this episode, Thilo explains what sets the event apart, the growing role of machine vision and robotics, and shares insights into the prestigious IFOY Award. Tune in for a closer look at this innovative approach to industry events!

Voidsy, an Austrian startup, has been named inVISION Startup 2024, and we sat down with CEO & Founder Holger Plasser to learn more about the new technology behind the recognition.

In this episode, Holger introduces photothermal tomography — a form of active thermography — explaining how it works, its potential applications, and the current limitations of the technology. He also shares insights into voidsy’s future plans and what we can look forward to next from this company.

The possibilities of synthetic data for AI vision are numerous. Unfortunately, many users are not yet familiar with the potential of this data and are looking for more information. That is why inVISION invited Petra Gospodnetic, who works on inspection planning research at Fraunhofer ITWM, and Maximilian Grau, CEO & Co-Founder of Medabsy, to tell us a little more about synthetic data.

They explain what you have to consider when choosing the right method, how I can find the best possible solution for my application and which industries are already using synthetic data. They also present a new cooperation between the two partners and what goals they want to achieve with it.

The SPS trade fair is starting. inVISION wanted to know what the current acceptance of machine vision in automation technology is.

Therefore, we have Sebastian Pfeiffer, Product Owner Machine Vision, at the automation specialist B&R – the ABB brand for machine automation, as a guest in our podcast to talk about the advantages and differences of 'Machine Vision like a Sensor'. Furthermore we will discuss the possibilities of AI vision at the Edge and machine vision as an integrated part of the control system.

In recent years, Eleven Dynamics has attracted attention in metrology with its open metrology platform Automation Suite. That's why inVISION named Eleven Dynamics as one of the Top 20 Vision Tech Startups 2024 and why the Automation Suite was awarded as inVISION Top Innovation 2024.

We invited Thomas Schiwiora, Creative Director at Eleven Dynamics, to our inVISION podcast to talk to him about the possibilities of the software for real open metrology and in which applications it is already being used. We also talk to him about the company’s numerous metrology cooperations in various projects. At the end, we want to talk about the integration of AI cameras into Automation Studio and what possibilities arise from the combination of metrology and machine vision.

The economic situation for the European machine vision market is currently difficult. The VDMA Robotics + Automation recently reduced its sales forecast from -4% to -8% for 2024. What are the reasons for the decline in sales, has the bottom now been reached and can an upturn be expected for 2025?

We talk about these topics in the first epsiode of our podcast ´Five Questions to...´ with Dr. Chris Yates, President of theEMVA (European Machine Vision Association) and partner at Vision Ventures. Furthermore, we will talk with him about the big trends at Vision 2024, which new products he is particularly looking for and why vision standards are so important for the industry. At last we have a short look at the European Machine Vision Forum in Mulhouse (France).
