2016 RBR50 Nominations Now Open

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL COMPANIES IN THE GLOBAL ROBOTICS INDUSTRY

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Dec. 15, 2015 -- The worldwide robotics market is more competitive than ever. New companies are popping up all the time. Which are the best in the world? Who should you keep on your business radar? The fifth annual RBR50 is searching the globe for the top 50 robotics companies to follow in 2016. Nominations are being accepted now through January 31, 2016.


The Robotics Business Review (RBR) editorial team selects the RBR50 from nominees around the world based on factors such as innovation, groundbreaking application, commercial success and commercial potential with an eye towards representing many different levels and facets of the robotics industry ecosystem. Big and small, private and public, these are the companies to watch as they push the future of robotics ahead!

The benefits of making it onto the RBR50 are many. Members are tracked throughout the year and RBR monitors how the marketplace views their progress, what analysts, partners or customers are reporting, and how their technology is seen by fellow roboticists and others in the high-tech and business communities. This creates a one-stop shop for reporting on their partnerships, product pipelines and business growth to keep readers informed on where each company stands in the market and why. "We organized this program to help our audience identify key companies developing robots, and highlight those who may be innovators flying under the radar," says Casey Nobile, Robotics Trends Media Manager.

To nominate your own company for the RBR50, please visit www.RoboticsBusinessReview.com. To simply nominate a company you think should make the list, please email RBR Senior Editor Eugene Demaitre with the company name, URL and any company contact information you can share. Entries must be received by the January 31 deadline. Nominations will weigh heavily in the development of the final top 50 list, which will be announced February 22, 2016.

uEye XC AUTOMATICALLY PERFECT IMAGES

Combining the ease of use of a webcam with the performance and reliability of an industrial camera? The uEye XC autofocus camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems proves that this is possible. Its high-resolution imaging, simple setup and adaptability make it an invaluable tool for improving quality control and streamlining workflows in industrial settings - especially for cases where users would normally employ a webcam. The uEye XC autofocus camera features a 13 MP onsemi sensor and supports two different protocols: USB3 Vision, which enables programmability and customization, and UVC (USB Video Class). The UVC functionality enables a single cable connection for easy setup and commissioning, while delivering high-resolution images and video. This makes the uEye XC camera an ideal option for applications that require quick setup and need to manage variable object distances. Additional features such as digital zoom, automatic white balance and color correction ensure precise detail capture, which is essential for quality control.
