(openPR) - On the occasion of the ten years long cooperation of MVTec (Munich, Germany) and its exclusive distributor in Japan, LinX (Yokohama), on January 30 2007, an international user conference took place in Yokohama. German and Japanese companies with international standing presented how they implemented their machine vision applications for production processes by means of HALCON.

More than 300 decision makers and engineers from Germany, Japan, and other Asian countries came to Yokohama to attend this jubilee event. Companies like Bosch, Canon, Honda, and Rodenstock showcased their newest developments. All companies employ the software library HALCON from MVTec to solve their mostly challenging machine vision problems that require a lot of creativity.

Furthermore, the managing directors from MVTec and the president from LinX, Dr. Wolfgang Eckstein, Dr. Olaf Munkelt, and Kei Murakami presented how they will push machine vision in future and which brand-new possibilities this will open to the industry. At this, a first preview on HALCON 8.0 was given, which will come to the market in summer 2007. Primarily, the exceptional possibilities of HALCON 8.0 for 3D robotics and its unique advanced IDE apparently aroused the interest of the audience.
