Although many companies participate in multiple categories, we assigned them to the single category in which they have the most important presence. (We made an exception for a handful companies that are major players in multiple categories by listing them in each category).
Where is AI in all this? As is the case with “mobile” solutions, which are represented throughout every stage of the imaging workflow, so is AI. Hence, we didn’t list it as separate category.
Some companies have since been acquired but if their brand survived, we still list them in their respective category. While that is not a prerequisite for inclusion in this chart.
All companies listed here also attended Visual 1st in recent years.
This is a 1.0 version of a living document: let us know if we missed anything! Also, we’ll add companies that will attend Visual 1st 2020 after Oct. 14-15.
All company and product names, logos, trademarks and registered trademarks shown here are property of their respective owners and are shown for identification purposes only.
