Episode 128 – Vision Panel Discussion at 2026 A3 Business Forum

 “What I’m most excited about right now is what’s new in machine vision. ... This combination of new sensors, advanced processing, and sophisticated algorithms will unlock new spaces for vision.”  

While robots and AI may steal some of the spotlight from other technologies in industrial automation, machine vision technologies are being used more than ever before, providing eyes for the machines and actionable data for businesses across all industries. In this special episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll is joined by Steve Kinney, director of training, compliance, and technical solutions, Smart Vision Lights; Jason Covar, general manager, The Imaging Source; and Jeffrey Adolph, vision/AI Specialist, 3M, to discuss the latest developments and what to expect in the near future when it comes to all things machine vision.  

The panel covers the intersection of machine vision and AI, some of the latest opportunities that machine vision has enabled, the most interesting vision developments in the last few years, and a shift in embedded vision system development. Additional topics include vision standards updates, advances in processing technology including the cloud, and a look toward the future.
