This special product section is an online extra companion to ''Vision Systems: Eyes in the Factory,'' cover story in the August 2002 issue of Control Engineering. Several companies have recently released new vision products. Here are brief descriptions of some of the major offerings.

Control Engineering Machine Control eNewsletter for August 2002

In this issue: Machine control in Control Engineering RS Logix 5000 Business Ethics Sensor news More news about vision Cool machine control products Control Engineering Buyer's Guide Control Engineering plans October webcasts on manufacturing productivity Machine control in Control Engineering In the last two months in Control Engineering , I have covered some important topics for machine control. The July cover story was about embedded control. This article was somewhat of a general survey of the technologies, platforms, and product categories that we will be covering as part of the explosion of products in this category. Software pioneered by the PC-based control companies when combined with the continued evolution of hardware driven by ever smaller yet more powerful silicon has sparked new products that enable a distributed machine-control architecture. In August, I covered the current state of machine vision.

I like to be organized, and I prefer to have my thoughts organized as well. Way back in 1978 when I picked up a Timex/Sinclair computer and a book on BASIC, I tried to find ways to organize the code.

Do they seem so complex that only a consultant or integrator can apply them? How is a manufacturer's support after the sale? Infoworld editor in chief, Michael Vizard, in his June 3 column online at https://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/02/06/03/020603opnoise.xml says, 'Ask yourself one simple question: was this software written in a way that increases my job security and gets me home at a reasonable hour, or was it written in a way to enrich consultants at the expense of my organization?' Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against integrators and consultants in general. After all, I was one once. Still, it is a valid question. I have the opportunity to talk technical people at most of the industrial software suppliers and see their latest efforts.
