An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in December 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of sensors and vision among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
47.5% of respondents are using all-in-one, integrated smart cameras. 30% are using vendor-built systems with camera, frame grabber and processor, and 15% are building the systems themselves with camera, frame grabber and processor. Only 2.5% are using integrator-built with camera, frame grabber and processor.
