Join us for the MVTec Innovation Day – a dedicated event for the machine vision community. Experience a full day with insights, including deep-dive technical presentations, one-on-one meetings with MVTec experts, live demos, and a poster session. Connect with more than 250 professionals, exchange ideas, and explore how MVTec’s newest capabilities can advance your machine vision projects and drive real results. The event will take place near Munich.
All presentations will be held in English and include a Q&A session.
9 – 10 AM | Arrival |
| 10 – 10:25 AM | Welcome Dr. Olaf Munkelt |
| 10:30 – 10:50 AM | Research that Matters: MVTec’s Contribution to Industrial Innovation Lars Heckler Tight research–industry collaboration unlocks real progress in machine vision. Our in-house research department feeds insights directly into products, letting us react faster to customer needs. Illustrated by our new anomaly detection dataset "MVTec AD 2", join to learn what it takes to drive and steer innovation. Find out how MVTec contributes to bridging the gap between academia and industry as a technology leader. |
| 10:50 – 11:25 AM | Reliable Pick & Place with High Part Variance Enabled by Machine Vision Discover how a LumiScan VGR and HALCON-powered pick-and-place system, enhanced by advanced AI, reliably handles high part variance while remaining easy to train and use, maximizing precision, availability, and relief from repetitive manual work. |
| 11:25 – 12:10 AM | Score Visualization: Advancing Shape-Based Matching in HALCON Jonas Helms & Neelkant Kashyap Rule-based algorithms remain essential for robust machine vision. But innovation never stops. In this live demo, we’ll jump into HALCON to showcase the new feature “Score Visualization,” which pinpoints strong and weak parts in your model and helps simplify optimization while reducing online processing time. |
| 12:15 – 01:45 PM | Lunch & Networking |
| 01:45 – 02:30 PM | Accelerating Machine Vision: The power of OPC UA and standardized HALCON Development Workflow Stephanie Reichl & Cord Stechmann – Robert Bosch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH
How we use a lightweight integration for interaction through OPC UA with a PLC and standardization for HALCON procedures to accelerate machine vision development and deployment with HDevelop.
Andreas Heindl & Dr. Stefan Rahmann – Machine Vision Makers
How we integrated a GUI extension package to unify image processing, application logic and user interface directly within HDevelop. |
| 02:30 – 03:15 PM | Deploy Fast, Update Smarter Dirk Adler & Christian Parr In dynamic production environments, traditional deep learning models often struggle to adapt to new data without losing prior knowledge- a challenge called catastrophic forgetting. Learn how HALCON’s Continual Learning enables fast, incremental updates without full retraining or access to old data. Reduce maintenance, support edge deployment, and keep AI systems robust. |
| 03:15 – 04:25 PM | Coffee break + poster session |
| 04:25 – 04:55 PM | MERLIC is More Than Machine Vision |
| 04:55 – 05:40 PM | Fireside Chat with Dr. Olaf Munkelt |
| from 05:40 PM | Dinner & networking |
Connect directly with MVTec’s product managers and product owners for a one-on-one discussion. Whether you have specific questions or want to explore new ideas, this is a great opportunity to make valuable connections. We offer 20min Slots.
