Hello [firstname,
fallback=customer]
Welcome to the November, 2013 edition of
Vision Technology News
presented by Adept Turnkey - Smarter Imaging For Better Lives.
Festive greetings
 As
Christmas approaches, we'd like to take this opportunity to
thank you and all of our customers for your valued business
and support over the past 12 months. While it has been a reasonably
challenging year for the Australian economy and Australian
businesses, we have seen some sectors in the machine vision
and imaging market grow quite well. Manufacturing and factory
automation are still very quiet however, and unless we see
the Aud$ exchange rate continue to drop this is unlikely to
change.
The Aud$ has dropped by about 14% during 2013 which has helped,
but has also caused our prices to increase a little. This
is an unfortunate by-product of this currncy drop, but with
the cost of vision components typically being a smaller part
of the total vision system build cost, we should, as a sector
welcome it as it makes us more competitive in the world market.
Regarding our technology, 2013 has continued to deliver significant
changes and advances. We have seen rapid increase in the resolution
and speed of sensors and CMOS gaining a stronger foothold
with image quality improvements. USB3 has become commonly
available as a camera interface although there are still problems
with some cables and USB3 chipsets and should be considered
with care.
Coaxpress is now also available but we are yet to see HS-Link
and look forward to it in 2014. 3D imaging has continued to
expand and Smart Cameras are beginning to proliferate. We
have also seen standard industrial cameras get smaller and
cheaper and a rapid expansion in sensor models.
But now we turn our thoughts and focus to family and
friends and anticipate an enjoyable rest over the Christmas
break.
We look forward to working with you next year and all of us
at Adept Turnkey offer our best wishes to you and your family
for the festive season. We trust that the holidays will be
restful and happy. Merry Christmas.
Best regards
Marc Fimeri
Managing Director
