Machine vision expertise

Richard Oakley is not a newcomer in the machine vision industry. Prior to joining Allied Vision, he has been working for MultiPix Imaging in the UK as a sales engineer for over 6 years. "Working for a distributor has brought me a lot of experience in the machine vision industry and allows me to have a very good understanding on Allied Vision’s products and technologies as well as the machine vision market", says Richard Oakley.

Jochen Braun, Sales Director EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) at Allied Vision, adds: "Richard Oakley has the ideal profile to represent Allied Vision in the UK and Scandinavia. He brings a thorough know-how of image processing and is familiar with machine vision specific requirements and typical fields of applications."
