NEWPORT NEWS, VA., Feb. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon Virginia, Inc. (CVI) is attending the PLASTEC West Expo, held from Feb. 7 – 9, in booth #3901 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

This year, CVI will highlight recently announced collaborations, developments and advancements including forward-thinking technologies and services designed to help customers achieve their business goals. The following are just a few collaborations, products and services being highlighted at the show:

  • ClearDetect™ COVID-19 Antigen Home Test Kits – With a continuing need for at-home testing kits across the nation, CVI has been engaged by Maxim Biomedical to handle the assembling of ClearDetect™ COVID-19 Antigen Home Test Kits.  In 2022, CVI assembled more than 4 million kits in less than 3 months, which is a testament to CVI’s ability to meet ambitious lead times.   Click here to view the full news release.

The booth will also feature Canon’s “Vision Edition-U.” Canon’s “Vision Edition–U” image processing software supports automation on production floors, designed to work with third-party collaborative robots, including those manufactured by Universal Robots. Canon is the first Japanese company to obtain Universal Robots’ certified product platform, “UR+.” In combination with a Canon brand network camera, for example, and linked with a collaborative robot manufactured by Universal Robot, this software would serve as the robot’s ‘eyes’, and take pictures and process images of the area close to the robot up to the periphery of designated workplace areas, depending on the intended needs.

Since its inception, Canon Virginia has excelled as the Americas’ manufacturing center for Canon brand products. Today, that excellence is available to customers outside the Canon family. Canon Virginia is uniquely qualified to deliver individually tailored solutions that exceed companies’ most rigorous quality standards and ambitious lead times for a variety of products in a variety of industries.
