V&S HEADLINE

Industry Veteran Launches New Machine Vision Camera Manufacturing Company

January 5, 2018

VANCOUVER, Canada — Lucid Vision Labs Inc. is a new company that designs and manufactures machine vision cameras and components that leverage the latest technologies.

The company's compact GigE Vision cameras are suited for a wide range of industries such as factory automation, medical, life sciences and logistics.

Lucid Vision Labs, Inc. was founded in January 2017 and is located in the greater Vancouver area, Canada.

Rod Barman is the founder and president. Previously, Barman was the founder, president and vice president of engineering at Point Grey Research, Inc. For 19 years he directed and managed Point

Grey’s year-over-year growth into a worldwide leader of high-performance industrial cameras. Torsten Wiesinger is the general manager of the EMEA region for Lucid Vision Labs Inc., responsible for developing and growing Lucid’s presence in the EMEA market. Before joining Lucid, Torsten has gained over 15 years of experience in the machine vision industry, notably as the CEO at IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, and more recently as sales director at MVTec Software GmbH.

"We started this company with a shared vision - to build innovative cameras and components that help customers solve their unique design challenges today in order to succeed in their vision tomorrow," Barman wrote in the company’s mission statement. "For digital imaging technology to keep up with current and emerging applications, it must be fluid, it must be inspired. We innovate dynamically to create products that meet the demands of machine vision for Industry 4.0. It is an exciting time to be part of a new era of industrial production where machine vision will play a central role in smart manufacturing."
