| Company History | |
| Don Braggins set up his independent consultancy specialising in industrial applications of image processing in January 1983 in the early days of the vision industry. Prior to that he was Product Marketing Manager for Image Analysis products at Cambridge Instruments. He is a graduate of Clare College, Cambridge, a Chartered Engineer, and a Fellow of S.P.I.E., the International Society for Optical Engineering and an Associate Fellow of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society. In 2003 he was elected to the five-member Executive Committee of the European Machine Vision Association. | |
| Products & Services | |
| MVS is an independent consultancy providing information and advice to clients on a direct fee basis. No income is derived, directly or by way of commission, from sales of equipment or software to clients. Activities include market research, strategic marketing consultancy and identification of potential business partners, drafting specifications for end users and OEM users of vision, and acting as an expert witness. | |
| Company Specialisations | |
| Don Braggins compiled the Frost & Sullivan European Industrial Vision market reports published between 1987 and 1995 and subsequently for the annual Automated Imaging Association market report, and hence has an unrivalled knowledge of vision expertise available throughout Europe. He is an Associate Editor of Sensor Review and Optical Engineering and a contributer to many other magazines and journals. | |
| Industrial Sectors Supplied | |
| Clients have varied from multinationals in the automotive, packaging and photographic industries to very small start-up operations, from venture capital providers to machinery and computer manufacturers, and geographically have ranged from Sweden to Italy and from the United States to Taiwan. Don Braggins has worked as a Reviewer on several projects for the Commission of the European Community. | |
| Typical Applications | |
| Typical tasks include the development of marketing strategies, including selection of candidate organisations, for vision and imaging suppliers wishing to expand markets geographically or technically. Advice to end users and OEM clients is usually for 'difficult' tasks for which no off-the-shelf solution can be obtained from a UKIVA members. The UKIVA is administered by MVS on behalf of its members. |
