Festo has also just come out with their new “Pneumatic Essentials” program featuring easy to order and fast shipping products. To see a complete list of products covered by this program, as well as grab the new essentials catalog, click here.

Today over on the Opto22 website you’ll find a new article spotlighting Convergence Controls and the four pillars of their business model which I found resonated with me as well. To find out what they are, check out the full article here.

A new article from SME is up which focuses on Event Based Vision and features new products from companies like DataLogic and Nikon. Personally I found the Nikon Laser-Radar measuring device of most interest, but you’ll find the details about all the products covered in the article here.
