Like the fighter pilots in the classic movie “Top Gun,” machine vision applications have always had a “need for speed.”

Camera manufacturers exhibit new products from March 17-19, 2015 at Vision China in Shanghai.

Optical metrology is a crucial tool used in industrial automation to increase productivity and quality levels via 100% inspection rates.

Not only is modern manufacturing increasing production speeds, but machine vision is being applied to ever more demanding applications that were not feasible before today’s high-speed components became available.

In macroeconomics there is a concept called utility. According to Investopedia, “utility is the aggregate sum of satisfaction or benefit that an individual gains from consuming a given amount of goods or services.”
