AIA报告：2018年第一季度机器视觉销售增长19%

June 21, 2018 – North American sales of machine vision components and systems increased 19% year over year to $709 million in the first quarter of 2018, setting an all-time record for quarterly sales, according to new statistics issued by AIA, the industry’s trade group.

2018年6月21日——根据美国自动化成像协会（AIA）发布的最新统计数据，2018年第一季度，北美机器视觉组件和系统的销售额同比增长19%至7.09亿美元，创下季度销售额的历史新高。

Total machine vision sales includes sales of components and systems. The machine vision components category grew 28% to a new record high of $107 million during the first quarter. The growth in components was primarily driven by camera sales, which increased 44% to $65 million. Optics (16% to $12 million) and software (nine percent to $5 million) markets also experienced growth in the first quarter.

机器视觉销售总额包括部件和系统的销售。机器视觉组件类在第一季度增长了28%，达到创纪录的1.07亿美元。组件的增长主要由相机销售所带动，增长44％至6500万美元。光学(16%至1200万美元)和软件(9%至500万美元)市场也在第一季度出现增长。

The machine vision systems category increased 17% to $597 million in the first quarter of 2018. Within the systems category, sales of smart cameras climbed 26% to $109 million, while application specific machine vision (ASMV) systems grew 16% to $488 million.

2018年第一季度，机器视觉系统类别增长17％至5.97亿美元。在系统类别中，智能相机销售额攀升26％至1.09亿美元，而专用机器视觉（ASMV）系统增长16％至4.88亿美元。
 
“Our most recent poll of industry experts revealed that 45% of respondents expect the market to increase over the next two quarters, 42% predict stagnation, and 13% are bracing for a decline,” said Alex Shikany, Vice President – AIA. “We continue to see demand for vision systems that are smaller, intuitive, cost effective, and complimentary to a more connected automation system. It’s an exciting time to be in this field with the innovation we’re seeing at every turn.”

“我们最近一次的行业专家调查显示，45%的受访者预期未来两个季度市场将会成长，42%的受访者预测市场将停滞不前，13%的受访者预期市场将下滑，”AIA副总裁Alex Shikany表示。“我们继续看到对更小、更直观、更经济高效的视觉系统的需求，以及对更互联的自动化系统的补充。这是一个激动人心的时刻，在这个领域，我们随时可以看到创新。”
 
“Vision technology is being integrated in a growing number of automation applications today because the technology is enabling new ways to solve complex challenges.” said AIA President Jeff Burnstein. “Growing global trends such as autonomous vehicles, AI, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) rely heavily on vision and imaging, which bodes well for the future of this industry.”

“如今，视觉技术正被集成到越来越多的自动化应用中，因为这种技术正在为解决复杂的挑战提供新的方法。”AIA总裁Jeff Burnstein说。“自动驾驶汽车，人工智能和无人驾驶飞行器（UAVs）等全球发展趋势日益高度依赖视觉和成像，预示着这个行业未来前景无限。”
