Roberto Gatti is CEO of Delvitech, a Swiss company that
has launched a new generation of AOI utilizing an AI
neural network. As Roberto explains, their approach was
not to bring another AOI machine to the market; instead,
they focused on bringing a new technology to an AOI
system.

A gold rush represents
an opportunistic, get-rich-
quick scheme. With just
one or very few poten-
tial winners in each case,
most participants are left
disappointed with their share, especially when com-
pared to how much effort they put in. These scenarios
are usually not thought through very well, even by the
winners. When it comes to sustainability in manufactur-
ing, I've seen a gold rush of sorts to find solutions, but
the pieces are disjointed and not uniform. Sustainabil-
ity needs to be a forever thing—not a race to find gold,
but rather a race to work together.
