Anne Wendel from the VDMA Machine Vision Department in the VDMA Association for Robotics + Automation commented:
“Machine vision is no longer a hidden champion, but has now become an integral part of the industrial environment and our everyday life in terms of sustainability, safety, quality and efficiency. VISION is THE world’s leading trade fair for innovations, trends and new developments in machine vision. Nowhere else can you find such a complete and focused range of products and services in this area. As the professional and promotional supporter of the trade fair, we are proud that Stuttgart – thanks to VISION – will again become the global centre of machine vision technology in October 2024.”
Must-attend event for the industryDuring the three days of the trade fair, the focal points will be discussions regarding machine vision.
Jan Hartmann, Managing Partner of IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, described VISION as follows: “VISION is the ideal platform to present product innovations to knowledgeable trade visitors. It is also a source of inspiration. Discussions are held between industry insiders and newcomers, customers and interested parties, partners and market observers, and company representatives and the press. No other trade fair has such a wide range of visitors. Trade visitors now consider very precisely what event to attend. VISION is definitively one of these events. We have been part of this community since our founding in 2007 and will also continue to be so in 2024.
The world’s leading trade fair is now well-established in the machine vision industry and enjoys great popularity. The trade fair is also a permanent fixture in our diary.
“The machine vision industry cannot afford to miss VISION which is a must-attend event for our LUMIMAX® Team at iiM AG. The trade fair has been the largest meeting point for the machine vision industry for many years. Anyone wanting information about trends and products is in the right place here. We feel right at home at VISION. VISION is the ideal place to forge new contacts and meet long-standing customers and partners,” said Axel Müller, CEO / President of iiM AG.MVTec Software GmbH concurred. VISION is definitely THE event for the machine vision industry and the most important trade fair of all for MVTec. Whether customers, partners or future companions, everyone meets here. As the world’s technology leader for machine vision software, we naturally have to take part in VISION. In regard to current trends we can see that the topics of deep learning and AI have by no means been exhausted. The upwards trend in embedded vision systems is also still continuing,” said Dr. Olaf Munkelt, Managing Director of MVTec Software GmbH.
High international importance
Around 60 per cent of exhibitors at VISION come from abroad, thus making it one of the most international trade fairs in the portfolio of Messe Stuttgart. This figure is a clear indication of the high international importance of the world’s leading trade fair. SODA VISION PTE LTD from Singapore will exhibit at VISION next year for the first time.
“As a regional machine vision distributor from Southeast Asia, VISION is a very important platform for us. This is the only show that gathers all our partners under one roof. Furthermore, it’s the chance for us to engage physically with new potential customers. We have been active visitors at VISION for more than 10 years. In 2024, we are looking forward to take part as an exhibitor,” said Chin Jack, Managing Director of SODA VISION PTE LTD.

With the VISION Start-up World, the show will again offer young and innovative companies from areas such as machine vision and computer vision both a platform and the opportunity to present their innovations to the industry.
“VISION is an important channel for our company to increase awareness of our new and efficient technology, and also forge new contacts. The VISION Start-up World represents an ideal platform for young companies to position themselves in the industry and gain initial experience in the trade fair business,” said Dominik Lausch, CEO of DENKweit GmbH.
