Different Machine Vision Requirements for Different Regions
Russia is considered a young, dynamic market for the field of machine vision. There is growing demand for greater production capacity, including an update to the available lines. It also represents an attractive growth market for infrastructure applications. These are areas in which industrial and network cameras are playing an increasingly important role.

China is the second largest national economy in the world and has demonstrated a growing need for vision systems for its constantly growing production base. With growing automation in production and quality controls, the demand for image processing systems on the Chinese market is booming.

Japan represents one of the world's largest markets for machine vision solutions. Many perfected production facilities use machine vision systems to handle tasks like inspection of production processes and control of robots. Industrial cameras are at the core of these systems, and have played an important role for decades.

Anke Wübbelmann, Head of Communications at Basler, sees the local websites as an important milestone: "Our website translated into the local languages is an important instrument for improving our competitiveness and profile in the respective regions, even where all three markets present very different challenges.”
