As a result, the company stays relatively optimistic about the future market.

Looking forward to 2018, Machvision further pointed out that after two years of research and development investment, this year’s features will be big data and AI. Besides, there will be epoch-making breakthroughs and improvements in PCB and semiconductor testing, and expenses in customers and personnel costs will see significantly reduced.
