North American machine vision market posts healthy results in 2Q 2011

Ann Arbor, MI--Machine vision sales grew 16% in North America in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter one year ago, reports the Automated Imaging Association (AIA)'s Quarterly Machine Vision Sales Tracking Report.

The AIA report recorded robust sales across almost all major machine vision supplier markets, including cameras, lighting, optics, software, application-specific machine vision systems, and smart cameras.

The new report also found that the machine vision industry continues to expect sales to stay at current levels or to increase in the next six months. Overall, only nine percent of reporting companies expect sales to decrease.

AIA’s Quarterly Machine Vision Sales Tracking Report is available free of charge to all AIA members participating in AIA’s sales data program.
