Nowhere has this been more true then in the electronic imaging sector. It would also appear that the world of machine vision is finally starting to make its way down to small and midsize companies. The net result has been an explosion of products aimed at getting new users up and running fast. Finding new customers for electronic imaging products has never been very difficult.
Most manufacturers welcome the idea of improving their process using imaging technology.
At Edmund Scientific we see hundreds of imaging wanabees every week. The trick, it would seem, is to give them the confidence that the technology really works. Since most imaging setups are unique, the only way to prove an application will work is to try it. This is often easier said then done. This in turn makes the process more flexible and cost effective.
