[clue] [TECH] Forth and Dreamplug

[daryl kuchay]

Very interesting application. I was just let go from Mikron in Aurora. Swiss
industrial assembly system manufacturer who's customers are mostly medical
device manufacturers. There is a lot of money to be made in the vision
appliance market. Something that has an easy calibration interface and spits
out a positive on true and a few handshake bits for PLC integration and you
are on the way to the bank. Cognex could use some competition. Cheers!
