This growth was due in part to the large increase in automation throughout the manufacturing industry, an increase in metal additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry and a new focus on employee training, health and safety for welding processes. North American Industry saw the highest number of robots delivered in 2017, with twenty-seven thousand delivered in the first nine months, according to Machine Design magazine. The largest installations of robots came from the automotive components and metals manufacturing markets with food and consumer goods close behind. The machine vision market also saw a growth rate of 14% in 2017 with 14% of those being vision systems. The Xiris XVC family of [weld cameras](https://www.xiris.com/weld-monitoring-cameras/) have become critical tools in advancing weld automation processes across the board, particularly in the growing markets mentioned above. The Xiris weld cameras become the eyes of the robot and enable operators to safely see the weld process from start to finish. In order to keep up with this growth, Xiris is also expanding. We have added a number of new employees in all areas of the company. We now have a Sales Manager in Dusseldorf to address increased demand in Europe. We have also increased staff at our head office in Burlington in all areas of the business including software/hardware design and development, production and product support. With these added resources we feel well positioned to meet growing demands and look forward to continued growth and success in 2018 and the coming years. Thank you to all our great customers and partners for a great 2017! ![Xiris personnel.jpg](https://blog.xiris.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%202018/Xiris%20personnel.jpg?width=320&name=Xiris%20personnel.jpg)   ### Recent Posts ### You may also like: [![](https://blog.xiris.com/hubfs/Open%20Graph%20-%20Blogs-1.png) ## How HDR Weld Pool Camera Technology Reduces Arc Glare {% module_block module... ](https://blog.xiris.com/blog/how-hdr-weld-pool-camera-technology-reduces-arc-glare) [![Do Undercut Welds Need to Be Redone?
