To keep track of our customers, and to keep our business on track, we categorize our customers into three market segments...and we’re not talking about Animal Corner, Home Improvement and Dating & Lifestyle!

Factory Automation customers install Cognex products on their production lines to ensure that the products they manufacture are made without error. The factory automation market also includes customers who use Cognex products outside of the assembly process, such as in logistics automation for package sorting and distribution.

Semiconductor and Electronics Capital Equipment (“SEMI”) customers integrate Cognex products into machines that they make and then sell to their customers for either semiconductor fabrication or printed circuit board assembly.

Surface Inspection customers make materials at high speeds in a continuous fashion, such as metals, paper, nonwovens, plastics and glass. Cognex products capture defect images across multiple inspection angles to deliver unprecedented surface detection, monitoring, gauging, reporting and classification accuracy in real time.
