North Coast Technical develops a mobile vision system to educate customers and enhance awareness of deep learning, code reading, and image analysis technologies

To say the last year was strange is an understatement; virtually every facet of society felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in sweeping changes to health, social lives, and business. Everyone—from individuals to manufacturing operations to governments—sought new ways to adapt.
“We took the pandemic as an opportunity to generate more awareness of the machine vision tools and technologies we offer,” says Dave Sexton, president at North Coast Technical, Inc. “Building a demo system was a great way to help educate our customers, and generate awareness of newer technologies offered from Matrox® Imaging, one of our principle suppliers. We successfully increased the number of customer evaluations, during a period where many were scrambling to adapt.”
