We’ve never shied away from challenges in terms of developing bleeding edge hardware and software. For us, it was always important to have both hardware and software. We have focused traditionally on the mid to high-end side of the business. Sam Lopez, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Matrox Imaging, adds, “They’ve entered the machine vision market with entry level machine vision solutions. If you look at our smart cameras, we are focused more on the lower resolutions whereas Matrox is more focused on the high resolutions, and they also have 3D sensors, PC-based machine vision, and frame grabbers.” MIL and Design Assistant are very strong brands, particularly for the expert machine vision users but also complementary in terms of other hardware platforms. Now with Matrox Imaging, we are expanding it.

#Zebra technologies software

We recognize that in machine vision, software is the key, and we wanted to bring that talent inside of Zebra.

With the Adaptive acquisition last year, we expanded our software capabilities to cover a higher part of the machine vision market. “Our software is very intuitive, is very easy to use, and is purposefully not meant for machine vision experts. “If you look at what we’ve done internally, we’ve come up with a family of smart cameras and industrial scanners particularly focused on the entry level of the market,” says Donato Montanari, Vice President and General Manager, Machine Vision, Zebra Technologies. Acquiring Matrox Imaging is in line with its strategy to continue growing in the machine vision space. Zebra entered the machine vision market in 2021 with its acquisition of Adaptive Vision and Fetch Robotics. On March 15, 2022, Zebra Technologies announced its intent to acquire Matrox Imaging, a provider of platform-independent software, software development kits (SDKs), smart cameras, 3D sensors, vision controllers, input/output (I/O) cards, and frame grabbers that are used to capture, inspect, assess, and record data from industrial vision systems in factory automation, electronics and pharmaceutical packaging, semiconductor inspection, and more.
