BUILD YOUR VISION

WE MAKE COMPUTERS
THAT CAN SEE.
Cognex® is the largest and most recognized
global supplier of industrial machine vision.
Cognex systems emulate human eyes and
brains. Each system consists of optics, an
image sensor, and high-speed electronics
that work together to capture an image, then
software analyzes that image and makes
sense of what’s being seen. While this
process is second nature to humans, it is a
very complex challenge for a computer.
Cognex is focused on solving the toughest
problems in machine vision and industrial
barcode reading, and we have sold more
solutions in these areas than any other
company in the world.
THE GLOBAL LEADER IN MACHINE VISION AND BARCODE READING
For over 40 years, Cognex has helped the world’s most innovative companies make their
manufacturing and distribution faster, smarter, and more efficient. $1 BILLION
Cognex vision and barcode reading systems help improve product quality and track items through each stage 2022 REVENUE
of production and distribution. Using data from the billions of digital images captured by Cognex vision systems,
companies can monitor, update, and change production plans in real-time across global supply chains. And Cognex is
constantly applying new techniques like artificial intelligence and 3D sensing to help companies push production limits
beyond what they previously thought possible.
