Luo: Hikrobot is likely to be a global company, and we always would like to offer the good solutions to customers worldwide. Apart from Asian and EU market, we are also looking into the machine vision market in North America.
What are the main differences between the European and the Chinese machine vision market?
Luo: In China, the machine vision market is a developing market but growing very fast. More and more manufacturing corporates would like to upgrade their systems and start to use vision technologies. But sometimes they probably don’t know what kind of technologies or products they do need, in these cases, it relies on that manufactures giving the suggestion and the best solution. Different from the EU market, people know what they need, sometimes it might be a bit demanding and requires customization. So it’s challenging manufactures‘ ability of response and customization. Another point is that there are lots of vision camera manufactures in EU markets already, it’s a very competitive market. People always look for the cost-effective products, good performance and good price.
