Cognex Launches New Global Website

Special focus on machine vision case studies and learning resources for the manufacturing world

Natick, MA, April 8, 2008 — 
Visit www.cognex.com and see a totally new website designed to illustrate how manufacturers use vision to optimize product quality and drive down manufacturing costs.

Over 80 application case studies, selectable by industry and application, show how Cognex customers are benefiting from machine vision. Another new section of the site, called “Working with Cognex,” gives visitors options for learning more about vision technology through a wide range of seminars, training programs and tradeshows.

”As the global leader in machine vision, we have an important responsibility to promote the benefits of applying vision to the manufacturing world and to provide world-class online support to our customers” said Peter Neve, Vice President of Global Marketing at Cognex.  “The response to the new site has been overwhelmingly positive, especially to the increased use of video to explain our products and their applications”.

One of the most important features of the new website design is the simple, intuitive navigation system.  The single navigation bar and images and descriptions on main menu items make it easy to find the right information quickly. Details on Cognex products, including the exciting new products introduced since the start of 2008, and full information on the company history, investor data and employment opportunities are easily accessible.

The website is truly global, with more than 35 country sites supported in nine local languages.  This ensures that multi-national customers see the same information wherever they are in the world, while still being able to view information about local events and programs for their country.
