Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

MVTec, Siemens Expand Technological Cooperation
June 12, 2025 | MVTecEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
MVTec Software GmbH and Siemens are expanding their technological cooperation in the field of industrial automation. To reinforce their increasingly close collaboration, Siemens joined the MVTec Technology Partner Program in May 2025.
As a result of the collaboration, users who rely on Siemens hardware products and MVTec software products for their machine vision applications benefit from increased performance and seamless interaction between software and hardware. Current highlights of the cooperation include Siemens industrial PCs (IPCs), which can handle even the most demanding machine vision applications with MVTec HALCON, such as deep learning applications.
"We are delighted to welcome Siemens, a heavyweight in the automation industry, to our technology partner program. With Siemens, we are expanding our partner program portfolio with an important component, namely powerful IPCs,“ explains Roman Moie, Product Owner at MVTec.
Peter Berger, Product Portfolio Manager at Siemens, adds: “Our customers have been using MVTec software for a long time. With this partnership, we want to put the perfect interaction of these solutions with our robust Simatic industrial PCs on an even broader footing."
MVTec is a leading global manufacturer of software for machine vision. The company offers the powerful standard software HALCON, the no-code software MERLIC, and the Deep Learning Tool for labeling image data. The Industrial Computing division of Siemens specializes on robust industrial PCs (SIMATIC IPCs). For special applications, the focus is on highly scalable box-, panel‑, and rack PCs.
Deep learning with high hardware and software requirements
Industrial PCs are often a crucial component for demanding machine vision applications. With the SIMATIC IPC BX-35A and BX-39A, Siemens provides its customers with industrial imaging devices that can perform all tasks such as anomaly detection, shape-based matching, object recognition, quality control, and optical character recognition (OCR).
Among others, The NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX module, which is integrated into the SIMATIC IPC BX-35A, ensures perfect interaction with MVTec HALCON. The module acts as an AI accelerator, enabling deep learning inferences to be executed significantly faster. HALCON offers a whole range of deep learning methods for different tasks. As users can now use these methods more easily and with fewer resources, they are able to automate challenging and completely new applications with machine vision that were not possible before.
The MVTec Technology Partner Program: Promoting common interfaces and components
Industry standards, uniform interfaces, as well as perfectly coordinated hardware and software products ensure that users can select exactly the components they need for their application. This makes it easy to create the optimal machine vision solution for each requirement. Promoting the interoperability and compatibility of components is the declared goal of the MVTec Technology Partner Program. The program is a joint initiative to promote strategic partnerships with innovative technology providers from various industries.
"We have a long-standing partnership with Siemens. Our current collaboration focuses primarily on our MVTec HALCON software. We are also driving forward other joint projects with MERLIC. These include a plug-in for the Siemens SIMATIC PLC as well as MERLIC's inclusion in the Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem," concludes Roman Moie.
Testimonial
"We’re proud to call I-Connect007 a trusted partner. Their innovative approach and industry insight made our podcast collaboration a success by connecting us with the right audience and delivering real results."
