IoT and Advancements in Technical Capabilities will Open a Plethora of Opportunities for Machine Vision Vendors
Recovery of Traditional Markets to Spur Demand, finds Frost & Sullivan
LONDON, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Machine vision technology has been in the market for years. However, in advancements in technology and with the evolution of smart factory, the past decade has seen a drastic revolution in machine vision equipment. The $7.45 billion global machine vision equipment market is expected to almost double by 2022 to touch $13.62 billion, as industries intensify their demand for quality inspection.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)- and Internet of Things (IoT)-integrated machine vision systems that expedite automation will especially gain traction in this environment. Vendors are focusing on providing advanced solutions that can reduce human involvement and enhance the systems' safety benefits, which will, in turn, prevent part damage and eliminate the maintenance costs associated with mechanical components.
"Despite the evolution of the smart camera system, PC-based machine vision solutions are expected to dominate the market due to their greater power and speed," said Prem Shanmugam, Senior Consultant for Measurement & Instrumentation at Frost & Sullivan. "Embedded vision systems as well are finding application in futuristic end-use cases like self-driving cars and hence, companies are looking for partnership opportunities with embedded system designers."
