UKIVA helps with EU-wide vision survey
The growth in the European Union with the recent accession of ten more member countries is reflected in the growth of the vision community throughout the EU.

Water filter/kettle competes for innovation award
Filket sers do not have to dispose of bulky plastic water filter systems and only change a thin recyclable membrane.
The UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA), through Director Don Braggins, is actively involved in the working group set up to take on this mammoth task.
Braggins said: "Although the UKIVA was not the first trade association for vision suppliers to be founded in Europe, it is now the oldest as the French and German associations have been reconstituted as parts of larger organisations".
"In 2000, the UKIVA published the 'European vision sourcebook' which is a guide to the commercial sources of industrial vision technology throughout Europe".
"In the new project we are aiming to ensure a degree of compatibility with previous data published by the US-based Automated Imaging Association".
The vision world is becoming truly international, with very few companies operating in a single country.
EMVA members from Hungary and Slovenia have joined members from as widespread an area as Sweden and Spain on the working group.
"It will take some time to collect the initial data, but in future years it should be easier to keep it up to date", concluded Braggins.
"The data will provide an invaluable insight as to the full extent of the vision revolution in Europe".
