| Vision ends with record result Vision 2010 exceeded its previous record result from 2008 in all areas: Approximately 6, 800 visitors from over 50 countries, predominantly from Europe but also from overseas, mainly from the USA and South Korea, came to Stuttgart this year to obtain information at the world trade fair for machine vision which took place from 9 – 11 November 2010. In 2008 there were 6,200 visitors and last year only 5,700 due to the economic crisis. With 323 exhibitors Vision managed for the first time to cross the 300 mark; 44 percent of the exhibitors came from abroad - never before as many. In 2009 297 exhibitors took part. The international character of visitors has risen slightly, which, according to initial projections, is approx. 35 percent. They came with concrete intentions to invest and purchase, stated 84 percent of those surveyed. Components, as well as applications, for machine vision were the visitors' primary interest. Almost every fourth person was looking for turnkey machine vision systems. A quarter of the visitors were end customers or end users, almost 20 percent were OEM customers of mechanical engineering and plant construction, i.e. as original equipment manufacturers they purchase components or software from the original manufacturer. Vision 2011 will take place again from 8 - 10 November 2011 at the new Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
