Join NI and partners at the Automation and Vision Forum 2008 to learn how to optimise your automation and vision applications with programmable automation controllers (PACs), harnessing their measurement, analysis, connectivity and advanced control features to:

  • Improve your yields and quality
  • Enhance your throughput and efficiency
  • Improve your equipment uptime and availability
    Each year, more than 25,000 companies, including 95% of Fortune 500 manufacturing companies, base their system designs on National Instruments products to reduce their time-to-market, optimise existing facilities and build high-performance machines.

Keynote: Machine Vision Takes Its Place in the Automation Engineer’s Toolbox
Don Braggins, UKIVA

Over the last few years, industrial machine vision has moved from realm of the expert to become a standard tool used by many automation engineers. This evolution has paralleled the rise of the smart camera and high-level software tools. Credited with introducing the term “smart camera”, Don Braggins discusses this trend and the productivity gains it brings to the automation engineer. Don Braggins is a director of the UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA) and executive committee member of the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA).



Keynote: Parallel Technologies for a New Generation of Applications
Robert Morton, Managing Director, NI

We are all being challenged to reduce costs, save energy and improve performance, often requiring new approaches to automation and machine building. Graphical System Design allows a broader range of engineers to tackle these difficult control and automation problems. Learn how the latest products and tools help bring sophisticated I/O, digital signal processing and advanced control to your next machine.
