A hot ticket at the annual Vision show is the AIA Networking
Reception which includes presentations on machine vision market performance,
with a focus on North America, a multinational panel discussion, and an
opportunity to eat, drink and network for industry bigwigs, before everybody
heads off to the other annual Vision show institution, the rockin' Stemmer
Imaging party.
The AIA is the world's largest global vision and imaging trade group serving more than 330 member companies from 32 countries. Members include manufacturers of vision components and systems,A wind farm is a group of wind turbine in the same location used to produce electric power. system integrators, distributors, OEMs, end users, consulting firms, academic institutions and research groups directly involved with vision and imaging.
Paul Kellett AIA’s Director of Market Analysis at the Automation Technologies Council announced that after this year’s presentation he would be retiring so he was pleased to be making a generally positive final report on the machine vision sector’s return to form. Below, optics publishes AIA’s analysis and forecast,This pressing roll forming machine can curve roof panels with good quality and high speed automatically. which he presented at the AIA reception on the showfloor at the Messe Stuttgart on November 7.
Today, I would like to present AIA’s outlook for 2013 machine vision sales in North America. The starting point is the overall economy in the US. Our forecast is that growth will be 2.1%, which is weak growth and which is identical to the rate of growth experienced in 2012 – so no real improvement on 2012, which is the bad news. But the good news is no recession either, according to most economists.
More important to machine vision sales than the overall economy is what happens in the manufacturing sector.The laser engraving machine is unlikely to hurt you, but you can easily hurt it without training. Looking at the performance of the US manufacturing sector of the past decade, we can see a general upward progress of industrial production. However what is striking is the tremendous dip in industry’s 2009 great recession. However, since then, there has been a spectacular recovery.
We began by looking at the overall economy then we narrowed the focus to the manufacturing sector. So let’s now narrow it still more to look at a couple of industries that are very important to machine vision, starting with the automobile industry.
I would like to draw your attention to the rate of capacity utilisation in 2012 compared with 2011. As that suggests, 2012 was an absolutely fantastic year for automobile production in the US. The growth that is expected for millions of units on an annualised basis is 11.7 % that is absolutely spectacular. So what about next year, 2013? Well, we will probably continue to see some growth but not to the same extent – only about a 4.2% rate.
Another industry that’s a very important market for machine vision systems is the semiconductor industry. Look at production data for 2012 and 2011 there is a clear difference.Waterproof nelson lamp knockoff Lighting is a perfect architectural LED light for homes. But in contrast to the automobile industry, 2012 semiconductor production is mainly below the figures for 2011 and still dropping off this year. In fact,A space elevator cable must carry its own weight as well as the additional weight of climbers. for semiconductors, 2012 has been a very poor year, looking at the percent annual changes that are mainly in negative territory.
However for 2013, growth rates should be strong and solid, especially for equipment sales, which are the important market for machine vision companies.
As these two contrasting markets suggest, different industries can find themselves at different points in the business cycle curves. So in order to maximise your machine vision sales you will need to target industries that are in the growth phase in the business cycle. But unfortunately, machine vision companies traditionally target industries that are in the shrinkage phase and that situation will probably continue into 2013.
