Demand follows factory automation cycles in electronics, autos, and e-commerce rather than data center spending, which separates it from the infrastructure trade. Supercycle scores its exposure as solidly meaningful, driven by AI vision adoption on the factory floor.","faq":[{"q":"What does Cognex do?","a":"Cognex sells machine vision systems, cameras, sensors, and deep learning software, that manufacturers and logistics operators use to inspect products, guide robots, and read codes."},{"q":"How is Cognex exposed to AI?","a":"Directly through its products.
