Across
the pond in Britain, or so I’m told, fortune tellers predict the
future from the patterns left at the bottom of the tea cup.
Fortunately, in the machine vision world we don’t have to go to
such extremes to make forecasts, although good hard information is
hard to come by.
I
try to help by sharing financial info from companies like Cognex and
Basler, but there is another to sense the direction things are
moving. When a company decides to move to larger premises that’s a
pretty good vote of confidence in the future.
Back
in March we heard that Canadian camera company Point Grey was
expanding
their Headquarters,
and now I see that Pleora
Technologies
is also expanding. The November 2013 issue of Quality
Magazine
had a short story about how the driving force behind the GigE
interface was growing into a new space.
Admittedly,
these aren’t Google-like explosive growth spurts, but they do show
faith in the future of machine vision. I also find it interesting
that both companies are Canadian.
