At www.inspect-award.com, companies from the machine vision and optical metrology industries can submit their latest products to compete free of charge for the prestigious inspect award 2022. A jury of five experts will select the ten most innovative products in each of the categories “Vision” and “Automation + Control” from all applications. Afterwards, the readers of inspect and all visitors of wileyindustrynews.com are called upon to vote for the winners. The total of six winners in the “Vision” and “Automation + Control” categories will then be honored at the Vision trade fair in Stuttgart at the beginning of October.

The nominated products will be presented to the public in a prominent position in inspect issue 3 (to be published on June 14, 2021). In inspect issue 6, all the winning products will then be honored once again in detail. In addition, all award-winning companies will receive the right to use the coveted inspect Award winner logo free of charge. So it pays to take part.
