• MVTec presents novelties around its product portfolio • Presentation of new trends and technologies in machine vision • Live demonstrations provide practical insights

Munich, February 9, 2021 - MVTec Software GmbH (www.mvtec.com), a leading international software provider for machine vision, will be presenting its product portfolio at Vision China Shanghai 2021 (www.visionchinashow.net) from March 17 to 19, 2021. Visitors to booth W1.1628 will be able to take a first-hand look at the features of the latest releases of MVTec HALCON and MERLIC. In addition, interested parties can learn more about the MVTec Deep Learning Tool, current trends, and technologies in machine vision.

Live demonstrations illustrate practical scenarios
In a live demo, the concept feature "Anomaly Detection" in MVTec MERLIC will be shown. Using the example of an inspection of printed circuit boards it is demonstrated how the all-in-one software can drastically simplify the use of complex deep learning algorithms. Here, a camera from MVTec's Chinese distribution partner DAHENG IMAGING will be used.
The Embedded Vision Starterkit, a joint demo with Allied Vision Technologies GmbH, will demonstrate how to get started quickly with the development of embedded vision applications.
The latest technologies of MVTec HALCON will also be presented and explained with the help of standard examples on a touch screen demo.

With its Chinese office in Kunshan (near Shanghai) and together with its long-time distribution partner DAHENG IMAGING, MVTec aims to provide customers in China with the best level of support and the greatest possible added value. During Vision China Shanghai, one of the most important international trade fairs for machine vision, visitors will have the opportunity to exchange ideas directly with MVTec experts.
