At Vision Systems Design, we understand that, even after covering this industry for over 25 years, our audience does not in and of itself represent the entire machine vision and imaging community, considering how ubiquitous the technologies on which we report are becoming across the entire planet, in all walks of life. owever, with our worldwide reach, the audience whose innovations we are fortunate to cover does represent a meaningful number of the companies, industries, and individuals who define machine vision and imaging. So, we are naturally curious about your thoughts considering new technologies, challenging applications, and where you are looking to grow in the future. Thus was born the Vision Systems Design Solutions in Vision 2021 Survey.

Two hundred twenty-nine machine vision community members—systems integrators, OEMs and machine builders, distributors, research and development experts, end users and manufacturers, and vendors—answered a large number of questions crafted by our staff and generated a tremendous amount of data to digest. We thank everyone who responded to the survey.

Certainly, machine vision and imaging community members are undeterred from staring down challenges and solving even the most difficult problems. The innovations and solutions developed by this community are the beating heart of Vision System Design’s ongoing coverage over the past 25 years. We hope this report described a community you recognize, challenges you understand that are shared by your colleagues, and the path along which machine vision and imaging are growing.

What follows is a report of the survey results with a focus on the largest percentages and most frequent answers, culled from thousands upon thousands of data points provided by our respondents. We hope you gain a sense of what your colleagues are up to regarding technologies used, industries served, applications created, and challenges felt.
