Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Industry Machine Vision Lenses Industry

• The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various industries worldwide, including the global industrial machine vision lenses industry. Machine vision lenses are crucial components used in automated inspection systems, robotics, and other industrial applications.
• Many industries faced a halt or temporary shutdown of operations because of COVID-19 restrictions. Demand for machine vision systems fell in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. This decrease in industrial activity had a direct influence on the demand for industrial machine vision lenses.
• Manufacturers concentrated on partnerships and businesses to make up for the losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies in the industry need to develop fresh approaches to accelerate the growth of the machine vision market. In June 2020, OMRON Corporation announced the launch of new product namely FH Series Vision System. This machine vision system is designed with the industry's first defect detection AI technology that identifies defects without learning samples. This has helped the business to enhance their sales in the Covid period.
