Ann Arbor, MI--The Automated Imaging Association (AIA), a machine vision trade group, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korean Machine Vision Industrial Association (KMVIA), a year-old trade association representing machine vision in Korea.

Ann Arbor, MI--The Automated Imaging Association (AIA), a machine vision trade group, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korean Machine Vision Industrial Association (KMVIA), a year-old trade association representing machine vision in Korea.

The collaboration between the two trade groups is said to advance the understanding and use of imaging and vision technologies, says Jeff Burnstein, AIA president.

The agreement outlines activities on which the two associations will collaborate, including an exchange of market data, mutual support for trade shows and technical conferences, promotion of global standards, and promotion of member companies and their products and services.

One of the first activities AIA will support in Korea is the KMVIA’s first trade show, the Korea Vision Show, to be held April 3–6, 2012, in Seoul. AIA will participate with a booth and lead a delegation of industry executives interested in doing business in Korea, says Burnstein.

Burnstein signed the agreement on behalf of AIA, while Hong-ki Baek, chairman of the board of KMVIA, signed for the Korean trade group. The agreement was formally announced during the AIA Networking Reception at VISION 2011 in Stuttgart, Germany. Sungho Huh of Envision, a member of the board of KMVIA, gave an update on the Korean machine vision market at this event, attended by more than 220 global industry executives.
