Ep4: Machine Vision – Competitive Edge or Wasted Potential?
Manufacturing Uncensored: Ep4
No safe answers. No PR.
We want the honest truth from our industry - even if it ruffles a few feathers.
Brought to you by Automate UK and Engineers Insight.
This episode: Machine Vision – Overhyped or Underused?
Machine vision has been around for decades.
So why is the UK still lagging behind in automation, productivity, and global competitiveness?
We sit down with Allan Anderson, Managing Director of ClearView Imaging and past Chair of the UK Industrial Vision Association, to talk about what’s really going on inside UK manufacturing.
Not the sales pitch - the reality.
We get into:
Truth behind building and leading businesses
Why machine vision still isn’t being used to its full potential
The impact of automotive slowing down on the wider vision industry
Why projects fail - and where it actually goes wrong
The gap between what’s sold… and what actually works on the factory floor
If you think this is just about cameras and technology… you’re missing the bigger picture.
