2010, April 27th - 29th the Cannex (www.spgevents.com/cxvegas/cannexvegas.html ) took place in Las Vegas USA. Cannex is an international exhibition that attracts exhibitors and visitors from around the globe who use the opportunity to establish contacts, explore new equipment and technologies, and boost their businesses.

Anyone who has an interest in the use and manufacture of metal containers will find at Cannex a wealth of innovation to explore and, most importantly, has unparalleled opportunities to meet and interact with the people who produce it.

According to statements given by exhibitors, the number of visitors, compared to previous years was relatively low – probably influenced by the current financial situation in the markets – however, the quality of the visitors with a strong presence of senior management was rated very positive.

The most interesting applications in machine vision have been process optimization features and the inspection of the decoration as well.
