Great media response

With the Alvium camera series, Allied Vision has developed a revolutionary camera platform for image processing of the future. A lot of time, energy, and money was invested to install an automated high-tech production system to produce the new camera series. The media attention was high according to the occasion and the prominent guests. A team from the MDR studio in Jena followed the invitation of Allied Vision as well as many other representatives of the local press and the trade press from the image processing industry.

After a welcome by Bodo Ramelow and Andreas Gerk, Chief Executive Officer of Allied Vision Technologies GmbH, as well as a short schematic presentation of the automated production processes, the participants were led into the new production rooms.
