Vision Engineering Group, UK-based designer and manufacturer of high-tech ergonomic optical and digital inspection, metrology systems, and bespoke engineering solutions, has announced its expansive showcase for the upcoming Smart Factory Expo. The event, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham from 3-4 June 2026, will serve as the premier platform for the Group to demonstrate its unified approach to manufacturing excellence.
Located at Stand F110, Vision Engineering will present a holistic suite of solutions designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern Industry 4.0 environments. By bringing together its cutting-edge Metrology systems, flagship Inspection range, and its innovative Technology Partnership division, the Group is offering a unique, end-to-end proposition. This combined offering empowers manufacturers to not only measure and inspect with unprecedented accuracy but also collaborate on custom-engineered solutions that drive operational efficiency, reduce waste, and accelerate time-to-market.
The Edge APEX
Next-Generation Metrology: Introducing Edge and LVC 400 At the forefront of the metrology display is the highly anticipated Edge metrology system. Designed to bridge the gap between complex analytical measurement and rapid, shop-floor quality control, Edge delivers rapid, highly accurate, and repeatable measurements in a compact footprint. It is built to seamlessly integrate into smart factory workflows, providing production teams with intuitive data capture and uncompromising precision.
Alongside Edge, Vision Engineering will showcase the LVC 400, a fully automated 3-axis video measurement system. Engineered for large components and high-throughput multi-part measurement, the LVC 400 is the ultimate solution for demanding manufacturing environments. Together, these systems demonstrate the Group’s commitment to providing scalable metrology solutions that ensure absolute compliance and elevate product quality across the entire production cycle.
Flagship Inspection Excellence: Ergonomics Meets Optical Brilliance Vision Engineering’s legacy of ergonomic brilliance continues to evolve with its flagship inspection range, all of which will be live on the stand. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Mantis PIXO, the latest iteration of the globally renowned eyepiece-less stereo microscope. Mantis PIXO redefines operator comfort, offering stunning 3D optical clarity that significantly reduces eye strain and fatigue during prolonged inspection or rework tasks.
The ProteQ VISO
The stand will also feature the award-winning Lynx EVO, an advanced ergonomic stereo microscope delivering exceptional 3D depth perception and high-resolution imaging, vital for intricate electronics and precision engineering tasks. For those seeking the pinnacle of digital capabilities, the new Evo Cam HALO will be demonstrated. This ultra-high-definition digital inspection system provides remarkable image quality, sophisticated image capture, and seamless data sharing for collaborative quality control. Rounding out the inspection showcase is the Proteq VISO, a compact and versatile digital 3D system designed to tackle the most challenging industrial inspection requirements with unparalleled clarity and ease of use, whilst enabling new collaboration opportunities through real time digital 3D image streaming.
Unlocking Innovation with the Technology Partnership Division Beyond off-the-shelf systems, Vision Engineering Group will be featuring its Technology Partnership division. Vision Engineering’s Technology Partnerships division offers certified UK contract manufacturing for businesses that need a reliable production partner. If you have a product to manufacture but lack the in-house capability to produce it to the standards your sector demands, the Technology Partnerships team can help. Working across medical, defence and industrial programmes, the division takes products from first prototype through to repeat production, with full documentation, traceability and quality controls. ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and JOSCAR registered.
Who Should Visit Stand F110? The combined scope of Vision Engineering Group’s offering makes Stand F110 an essential destination for a wide array of industry professionals. Quality Assurance and Quality Control Managers will find next-level solutions for reducing defect rates and ensuring compliance. Production Managers and Manufacturing Engineers can explore systems that optimize throughput and operator well-being. Furthermore, R&D Directors, Product Designers, and Innovators will discover a collaborative partner capable of turning complex conceptual ideas into engineered realities. Whether you operate in aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical device manufacturing, or precision engineering, the Group’s diverse portfolio holds the key to unlocking your next operational breakthrough.
An Invitation to Collaborate: Bring Your Own Samples Vision Engineering Group is extending a unique invitation to all Smart Factory Expo attendees. Rather than just viewing standard demonstrations, visitors are actively encouraged to bring their own challenging components, material samples, early-stage prototypes, and solution ideas directly to Stand F110.
“We believe the best way to understand the transformative power of our technology is to see it applied to your own products and solution ideas,” says Phillip Townend, Group Marketing Manager at Vision Engineering Group. “By bringing your specific quality control challenges or engineering concepts to our stand, our team of metrology experts, inspection specialists, and partnership engineers can provide real-time, hands-on evaluations. It is a unique opportunity to collaborate live, test our systems against your exact requirements, and discover precisely how Vision Engineering Group can support your journey toward smarter, more efficient manufacturing.”
