Cognex Receives Recognition from Automation World


NATICK, MA - January 12, 2012 - Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems, announces that it was voted as a "First Team" supplier of machine vision in Automation World magazine's Leadership In Automation 2011 program.

Votes came from a combination of online participation in the publication's Leadership In Automation (LIA) profile section on AutomationWorld.com, and a year-long e-mail poll with unaided recall.

"The AW Leadership In Automation program recognizes your hard work serving and listening to your customers, commends your investment in research and development, and reinforces what your brand means to the marketplace," said Jim Chrzan, Publisher.

The January 2012 issue of Automation World will feature Cognex's achievement.
