UKIVA to launch Vision Integrator Standard at conference

This year’s featured speaker is Laurie Barnes, chief technology officer at Automate UK, who will be introducing UKIVA’s very first Vision Integrator Standard. Barnes has over 25 years’ experience in the manufacturing industry with roles spanning from machine build, programming and motion control to commissioning, applications and contracting. His background means he is ideally placed to share his experiences about a broad range of topics from the perspective of a product user, supplier and contractor.

The new Vision Integrator Standard has been developed to help System Integrators (SI’s) stand out from their competitors, win more business and improve the overall standard of Sis in the UK. The standard is open to UKIVA members and the wider UK vision industry. It sets out areas that UKIVA considers as being vital for all integrators who operate within this competitive industry. The standard is seen as a further benefit to the portfolio of member benefits that already exist. This will be an additional attraction for end users of vision equipment to visit UKIVA’s website to aid them in their selection of their next vision integrator.

Scott McKenna, chief operating officer at Automate UK, commented on the upcoming Machine Vision Conference, saying: “This year’s event will bring together the entire machine vision industry. It will be a prime opportunity for visitors to engage with the latest innovative machine vision and imaging technologies. What’s great about this confex is that it offers something for everyone, from cutting-edge solutions and inspiring seminars to valuable face-to-face networking opportunities.”
