We are proud of the awards and recognition that we have received for the work that we have done in virtual instrumentation and machine vision. We received our very first award in the NIWeek Best Applications Contest in 1999 at the annual conference on Virtual Instrumentation held at Austin, Texas by National Instruments. In the next six years, we became the company with the most number of awards won at the contest.
Entries to this premier worldwide virtual instrumentation applications contest are typically received from over 22 countries and judged by a panel of over 100 members consisting of experts from National Instruments along with a distinguished panel of industry experts and magazine editors. Soliton has set a record by winning the global contest 3 times in five years (2000, 2001, and 2004). Including the category awards, Soliton has won 22 awards so far at the NIWeek Best Applications Contest, making us the company with the best record by far.
In 2004, Soliton was the only company from Asia selected by leading imaging industry publication Advanced Imaging Magazine, USA, for the 'Imaging Solution of the Year' award in 2004. This award is given to companies whose solutions they feel merit special industry attention for their practical handling of digital imaging and image processing challenges.
A total of nine institutions from around the world were selected for this honor, including Adobe, Honeywell, and Los Alamos National Labs. Soliton's Adaptive Brake Assembly Inspection system, a breakthrough development in machine vision, was selected for this honor.
