MONTREAL, Quebec, June 21 -- Coreco Imaging, a provider of machine vision products, announced that it has been awarded its largest contract to date by one of Europe's leading OEM suppliers of machine vision inspection systems. This significant three-year contract, valued at $3 million, is for Coreco Imaging's PC-Series machine vision frame grabbers and software. The first deliveries are scheduled to begin this month.
