“For four decades, manufacturers around the world have relied on Cognex machine vision to improve product quality, eliminate production errors, and drive down manufacturing costs,” said Robert J. Willett, Chief Executive Officer of Cognex. “We have a lot to celebrate today,” continued Willett, “not only is it Cognex’s fortieth anniversary, but we have also just surpassed $1 billion in annual bookings for the first time in our history.”

Founded in 1981 by Dr. Robert J. Shillman, Cognex has pioneered the field of machine vision. Today, machine vision plays a critical role in factories and distribution centers around the world.
