At the risk of disagreeing with my good friend Phil, I can't remember a show where more new machines were introduced. Yes, many were based on previous platforms, and yes, Cogiscan's RFID feeder was highly interesting, but there were some other breakthroughs, too. One was Viscom's combination AOI/AXI. Vitronics added a software program to its 6745 selective machine that is superb both in design and use. I also saw a couple of really slick dispensers.
 
The problem is, some of the existing machines are already so good we do get a bit jaded and forget how impressive the engineering really is.
