Few innovations make it over the fence, and even fewer actually succeed once they land.
Yet DVT Corp . is an exception on both counts. With technology developed by Georgia Tech faculty, DVT produces machine-vision systems for online inspections. Its flagship product, SmartImage Sensors, not only lowers costs but improves performance, which enables more manufacturers to embrace smart-factory environments. What's more, DVT has a five-year compounded annual growth rate of 54 percent for net sales and 66 percent for net income. International sales are also heating up.
