From power train to electronics, from interior fit out to final assembly, our inspection, guidance and identification systems optimize product quality and drive down manufacturing costs.
	Consumer Products An incredibly wide range of high volume consumer products are inspected every day by Cognex vision. We have the largest number of product options and the most flexible vision tools to ensure that whatever you make, we can provide cost effective, high performance solutions to meet your exact needs.
	Continuous Process Industries For industries where products are made on a continuous basis, Cognex has an advanced range of defect detection, tracking, removal and reporting solutions that optimize process control, maximize yield and minimize production downtime. With specific solutions for metals, paper, plastics, glass and nonwovenindustries.
	Electronics For manufacturers of products and production equipment in markets including consumer and industrial electronics, our vision and ID systems provide a wide range of inspection, process control and traceability solutions - ensuring the products you manufacture meet all the product quality, safety and global regulations that they are subjected to.
	Food and Beverage High speed, high volume manufacture of food and beverage products are ideal applications for Cognex vision and ID products. Systems that are able to perform reliable, consistent inspection and identification tasks that would be impossible for human operators to perform. Ensuring that product appearance, contents and labeling is correct and consistent throughout the manufacturing process.
	Logistics Vision based barcode reading is replacing traditional laser scanners in an ever increasing range of applications in the logistics industry. With higher read rates, powerful visualization and lower lifetime costs, image based barcode reading can read any 1-D or 2-D barcode, even if the code is damaged, distorted or rotated.
	Pharmaceutical/Medical Whether it is using low cost vision sensors to ensure package integrity, tracking serialized product from manufacturer to retailer, or ensuring label accuracy with barcode and text verification, Cognex offer the products that add value at every step of the way. Ensuring the healthcare products you manufacture meet patient safety and traceability requirements in a cost effective manner.
	Semiconductor Cognex has been the leading vision and ID supplier to thesemiconductor and electronics industry for over 30 years. Starting with wafer ID solutions, since then Cognex has dramatically expanded the range of solutions available, from wafer alignment and inspection, through to die quality, mounting and traceability solutions. Cognex PatMax® technology is the clear leader in vision based wafer alignment systems.
	Solar Vision and ID technology has enabled rapid development of a wide range of solar manufacturing processes. With inspection, guidance and identification applications throughout wafer manufacture, cell fabrication and module assembly processes, Cognex is a leader in supporting manufacturing in the alternative energy market.
