China (Shanghai) Machine Vision Exhibition 2021 has ended in Shanghai New International Expo Center on March 19, 2021. With 15,000 square meters of exhibition area, with 215 high-quality machine vision brand exhibition, the audience reached 79,453.
The application of machine vision technology is expanding, covering many industries such as electronics, automobile, battery, semiconductor, packaging, food and beverage, medicine, medical treatment, etc. We believe: electronics, semiconductor, automotive, biology/pharmaceutical/medical, logistics/sorting and other machine vision enterprises are still the main industry and application field of attention in recent years. At the same time, digital vehicles, smart wearables/home furnishing, advanced rail transit, new energy and high-performance medical devices have become new areas of concern and future growth points for enterprises.
For the forecast of future application fields and new market demand, listen to the views of BAUMER, Aigali Allied Vision, Haikang Robotics, Aiguo Technology, Xinjin 3D and Brailai?
Question: In the next two to three years, which end product areas in the Chinese market and globally will see growth or new market demand for machine vision applications? Machine vision enterprises will exit those innovative technologies and products?
Answers: "The Chinese market has always been a very active market for machine vision technology, covering a wide range of applications, and there have been a number of new applications in recent years. Overall, I think the key growth in the machine vision market in China in the next two to three years will be mainly in electronic semiconductors, rail transit, biopharmaceuticals, and medical devices. The electronic semiconductor industry has always been a key industry for machine vision applications. With the continuous update of smart phones, more new mobile phones and the launch of 5G mobile phones mean that the manufacturing technology of mobile phones will be continuously upgraded, which will inevitably generate more application demands, and also put forward higher requirements for machine vision. For example, more detection equipment will be updated to the direction of high-speed detection, which requires the camera to improve the frame rate at the same resolution. For this reason, we launched 10 GigE camera, which has 10 times the bandwidth of gigabit network camera, and the frame rate can be up to 1578fps. Rail transit is one of the key areas of national development, and speeding up the construction of urban agglomeration rail transit is also the focus of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan. As a result, there will be more application requirements. At present, 25MP camera is mainly used in railway industry. With the continuous improvement of application requirements, 65MP camera will be widely used. For this reason, we also launched 65MP 10,000MB network interface camera for railway industry, which adopts high IP protection level design, which is very suitable for outdoor applications. For biopharmaceuticals and medical devices, it is a key growth point in the future. In 2020, we suffered from the COVID-19 epidemic. Through this epidemic, we also saw that many tests in the medical industry used medical devices, and put forward high requirements for pharmaceutical technology. Many pharmaceutical raw materials will be tested by vision, for which we also launched IP 65/67 and IP 69K protection level cameras, which can resist the cleaning of a certain concentration of hydrogen peroxide, so as to ensure the safety and health in the pharmaceutical process. These are all strategies that we have in place for potential areas of the future."

Liu Gang, Head of Business and Solutions, SciMou Technology Co., Ltd
"We see AI+ manufacturing convergence as one of the trends of the future. Now the world has entered the era of AI, AI is accelerating to enable manufacturing. It can be predicted that in the future industrial manufacturing, more and more factories and production links will use AI technology, especially the links with more manpower, high requirements and high costs. Whoever uses AI first can get a head start on quality, efficiency and cost.
Therefore, Simou always believes that AI will eventually reach the stage of large-scale and comprehensive application, and the first thing that cannot be avoided is the landing and application in the industry. Only AI can really solve some long-standing problems in industrial manufacturing, can really help enterprises, improve product yield, improve product quality, save all aspects of cost, such AI is successful, is welcomed by the manufacturing industry.
Therefore, what Simou is doing now is to provide such AI technology and solutions. After customers use them, they can have an immediate effect and really help enterprises improve the level of intelligence. We also hope to discuss and promote the application of AI in the manufacturing industry together with our "big brother" and "new friends" in the manufacturing industry.

Kong Li, General Manager of Machine Vision Marketing of Haikang Robot
"Haikang Robotics is a company with innovation as the core driving force. This time, we have brought a series of innovative products, such as a new 151 million megabit network optical port array camera, 21 million CXP-12 ultra-high speed camera, 3D laser contour sensor, ID2000 series high-speed focusing industrial reader, VM4.0 algorithm platform and so on. The maximum output frame rate is 6.2 FPS, and the camera can support 16bit data output, ensuring the perfect detail presentation under the ultra-definition resolution. The camera adopts 10 megabit network technology, low power consumption, long distance, low system cost, built-in a variety of ISP algorithms, widely suitable for FPD detection, PCB AOI and other applications. In the future, we will continue to polish the product details, continue to improve in the image processing, AI algorithm, 3D and transmission interface protocol and other technical areas, to provide customers with high-quality products and highly responsive service support. The industry is expected to see decent growth in 2021 as the epidemic is brought under control and the global economy recovers. We are optimistic about new energy, medical care and automobiles. Among them, the growth of new energy is mainly driven by national policies. In recent years, photovoltaic and lithium power have developed rapidly, and the whole new energy industry is still increasing capacity. The COVID-19 has not only brought major short-term challenges to the medical industry, but also promoted the development of the industry. The increase in investment has provided sustained impetus for the follow-up development of the medical industry. As for the automobile industry, the capacity expansion of new energy vehicles will drive the rapid development of the whole industry in the future."
