Dear Colleagues,
Please be kindly invited to join this one-day meeting on visual inspection (VI) that will be held in Berlin, Germany on 03 December 2024.
This workshop is organized with the help of the PDA Visual Inspection Interest Group and focuses on current topics of practical interest to those responsible for VI in their companies or those who supply products or services in VI.
The focus is put on exchanges and discussions on hot topics related to visual inspection. Short expert presentations are provided to stimulate discussion followed by time for more extensive discussion, Participants can bring their relevant questions,
challenges, and experience resulting in a diverse and practical discussion of each topic. This has proven very fruitful in the past and provides an opportunity to align the workshop with the specific interests of those who register and attend.
This is a great opportunity to network and learn from experts and colleagues who share the same interests and challenges as you. You may also want to take advantage of the training course offered immediately following the Workshop in the same venue. Both An Introduction to Visual Inspection: A hands-on course and Mastering Automated Visual Inspection will be taught on the days following the workshop in the same venue.
