本月早些时候，安森美半导体在德国斯图加特举行的第26届VISION展会上展出。
VISION是机器视觉行业的重要活动之一，专注于基于图像的自动检测和分析的组件和集成系统，而安森美半导体则专注于我们针对这一不断增长的市场的最新图像传感器产品。
在与432家不同参展商的活动会议上，超过8,700名参观者在斯图加特度过了忙碌的三天。
但是通过所有这些活动，我在这次活动中获得了一些关键的学习内容：
机器视觉市场正在成长和成熟。
基于全球制造工厂对自动化的不断增长的需求，我们谈到的相机制造商将继续为该行业预测增长。
但即使这个行业继续增长，它正在逐渐成熟，允许为这个市场提供更复杂的解决方案。
结合到机器视觉相机中的技术变得越来越强大，提供了新型的分析和检查，例如3D成像，高光谱成像和飞行时间（或距离）成像。
安森美半导体也是这一趋势的一部分，因为我们推出了KAE-02150图像传感器，这是新一代图像传感器中的第一款，它将Interline Transfer CCD图像质量和均匀性与电子倍增输出相结合。
我们对这款新产品的演示展示了单个相机现在如何捕捉从极低（亚勒克斯）照明条件到明亮日光的图像，为监控，科学成像，医学成像等应用开辟了新的成像领域。
和智能运输系统。
每种情况都是独特的。
随着不同类型检测的选项快速增长，很容易锁定最新的“热门”技术并忘记每种成像情况都是独一无二的。
但是在设计机器视觉系统时，一种尺寸确实并不适合所有人，而且该行业的一个真正优势是能够针对不同情况定制解决方案。
虽然具有最高分辨率可能是某些检测应用的关键，但其他时间具有非常快的帧速率 - 或非常小的尺寸，或高动态范围或高光灵敏度 - 是最重要的。
这种观察 - 不同的成像情况需要不同的解决方案 - 是安森美半导体提供如此广泛的图像传感器产品组合的原因之一。
我们的PYTHON系列CMOS图像传感器的分辨率范围从VGA到500万像素，同时展示了一个新的2500万像素设备 - 允许该系列提供极大的灵活性，以便将最佳分辨率和帧速率与特定设备相匹配
应用。
通过我们新的47万像素KAI-47051图像传感器的演示，现在提供最高图像质量的CCD设备具有新的高分辨率基准。
世界变得越来越小。
VISION真正成为一项国际盛会，参展商和与会者来自全球各地。
从美国飞往德国，与来自欧洲的客户会面，然后询问我们是否会再次在日本看到对方，这是非常了不起的。
现在，组件通常在全球范围内采购，在多个位置组装成相机，然后在全球销售。
通过我的智能手机，我每天都可以与家人进行视频聊天，并通过收听我的家乡电台跟踪美国大选。
这种相互联系是由通信和运输技术的爆炸性推动的，使人们几乎可以在世界任何地方保持联系。
这意味着像安森美半导体这样的公司需要准备好在国家和语言中做出回应，当我们的客户遇到问题时。
因为在某个地方，它总是在一天的中间。
相信你的团队。
这是第一个包含前Truesense Imaging和Aptina Imaging业务的图像传感器组的安森美半导体展览。
参与在斯图加特开展业务的团队跨越了9个时区，重要的是要相信每个人都能参与规划和准备工作。
真的没有机会加倍或三倍检查安排 - 如果有人说他们会完成任务，你必须相信它会完成，并且正确完成。
这一点在计划结束后我们中的一些人不得不返回美国的计划中走到了前列。
我们最初的安排是星期四晚上从斯图加特到法兰克福的火车，准备周五早上飞往美国。
但是在周三，我们了解到罢工将在那周停止列车，所以我们需要另一种方式来到法兰克福（然后回家）。
合适的人 - 一些在斯图加特，一些在慕尼黑，一些在罗切斯特 - 开始解决这个问题，最后我们在周四开车到法兰克福。
很容易因为被困在斯图加特而感到焦虑，但我们相信团队 - 而团队也是如此。
什么都不是面对面的。
虽然电子邮件，电话和视频会议都很重要，但实际上没有什么比与他人直接互动有关。
即使使用将我们联系在一起的所有技术，也是个人互动 - 与同一房间中的某个人面对面 - 继续提供无法匹配的访问和学习水平。
很高兴再次与客户见面，以更好地了解他们对市场，趋势和未来增长机会的看法。
与新同事第一次见面真是太棒了，并且为那些我在夏天远程工作过的人“戴上了面孔”。
在旅行结束时，和家人一起回家真是件好事。
VISION节目现在已经转移到2年的时间表，所以我们下次参加此次活动的机会将要到2016年。虽然很多事情在未来两年内无疑会发生变化，但我猜我是
两年后，我将有机会再次“学习”一些相同的事情。
但这一次，我已经知道开车去法兰克福机场的方法了。

Earlier this month, ON Semiconductor exhibited at the 26th VISION trade fair, held in Stuttgart, Germany. VISION is one of the premier events for the Machine Vision industry, focusing on components and integrated systems for image-based automatic inspection and analysis, and ON Semiconductor was there to highlight our newest image sensor products that target this growing market.
With over 8,700 visitors at the event meeting with 432 different exhibitors, it was a busy three days in Stuttgart. But through all of that activity, there were a few key learnings that I came away with from my time at this event:
The Machine Vision market is both growing and maturing.
Camera manufacturers we talked to continue to project growth for this industry, based on the increasing demand for automation in manufacturing facilities around the world. But even as this industry continues to grow, it is maturing in a way that allows more sophisticated solutions to be provided to this market. The technology incorporated into machine vision cameras is becoming more powerful, making available new types of analysis and inspection such as 3D imaging, Hyperspectral Imaging, and Time of Flight (or distance) imaging.
ON Semiconductor is part of this trend as well, as we launched the KAE-02150 Image Sensor, the first in a new class of image sensors that combine Interline Transfer CCD image quality and uniformity with Electron-Multiplied outputs. Our demo of this new product showed how a single camera can now capture images from very low (sub-lux) lighting conditions all the way to bright daylight, opening a new realm of imaging for applications such as surveillance, scientific imaging, medical imaging, and intelligent transportation systems.
Each situation is unique.
With options growing quickly for different types of inspection, it’s easy to latch on to the latest “hot” technology and forget that each imaging situation is unique. But when designing a machine vision system, one size really doesn’t fit all, and one of the real strengths of this industry is its ability to customize solutions for different situations. While having the highest resolution may be key to some inspection applications, other times having a very fast frame rate – or a very small size, or a high dynamic range, or high light sensitivity – is most important.
This observation – that different imaging situations require different solutions – is one of the reasons that ON Semiconductor offers such a broad image sensor portfolio. Our PYTHON family of CMOS image sensors now ranges in resolution from VGA to 5 megapixels, with a demonstration at the show of a new 25 megapixel device as well – allowing this family to provide great flexibility in matching the best resolution and frame rate to a particular application. And with the demonstration of our new 47 megapixel KAI-47051 Image Sensor, CCD devices offering the highest image quality now have a new high-resolution benchmark.
The world really is getting smaller.
VISION has truly become an international event, with exhibitors and attendees coming from all regions of the globe. It was remarkable to fly from the US to Germany, meet with a customer from Europe, and then ask if we would see each other again in Japan. Components are now routinely sourced world-wide, assembled into cameras in multiple locations, and then sold throughout the world. With my smartphone, I was able to video-chat with my family each day, and followed the US election returns by listening to my home-town radio station.
This interconnectedness is driven by the explosion in communication and transportation technology, allowing people to be in touch almost anywhere in the world. And it means that a company like ON Semiconductor needs to be ready to respond in country, and in language, when our customers have a problem. Because somewhere, it’s always the middle of the day.
Trust your team.
This was the first ON Semiconductor exhibit to include the image sensor groups from the former Truesense Imaging and Aptina Imaging businesses. The team involved in developing our presence in Stuttgart spanned nine time zones, and it was important to trust everyone to do their part of the planning and preparation. There really wasn’t an opportunity to double or triple check arrangements – if someone said they would get a task accomplished, you had to trust it would be done, and done correctly.
This really came to the forefront in plans some of us had to return to the US after the end of the show. Our original arrangements were to train from Stuttgart to Frankfurt Thursday evening in preparation for a flight to the US on Friday morning. But on Wednesday, we learned that a strike would stop the trains that week, so we would need another way to get to Frankfurt (and then home). The right people – some in Stuttgart, some in Munich, some in Rochester – started working the problem, and in the end we drove a rental car to Frankfurt on Thursday. It would have been easy to get anxious about being stranded in Stuttgart, but we trusted the team – and the team came through.
Nothing beats face to face.
While e-mail, phone calls and video-conferences are all important, there really is nothing like working and interacting directly with another person. Even with all the technology that links us together, it is personal interaction – being face to face with someone in the same room – that continues to provide a level of access and learning that can’t be matched. It was great to meet again with customers to better understand their view of the market, its trends, and opportunities for future growth. It was wonderful to meet for the first time with new colleagues, and “put a face” to people I had worked with remotely through the summer. And at the end of the trip, it was good to be home with my family – in person.
The VISION show has now shifted to a 2-year schedule, so our next opportunity to exhibit at this event won’t come until 2016. While a lot of things will undoubtedly change over the next two years, I'm guessing that I'll have the chance to "learn" some of the same things over again just two years from now.
But this time, I'll already know the way to drive to the Frankfurt airport.
