I have colleague who manages a mature machine vision software suite with machine learning capabilities and he also has camera and embedded design support so he can (and has) created custom machine vision systems in the past mostly for military applications.

He would like to move into the manufacturing automation field, but has the problem of not knowing where to start.

Ideally he would like to find an "open architecture" manufacturing line system that he could essentially plug his system into easily so he could sell to customers that use that kind of line equipment.

Any suggestions of good areas, automation products or companies to look at for positioning a technology like this?
 
He doesn't speak Japanese.

Well then talk to the guys in all these named and more companies in Detroit.
A visit to IMTS comming soon might be a start.
Given your area and his interest did he go to the AIA/vison show in Boston?
Military machine vision and floor automation are a bit different. He will need a good grounding in PLCs, automation and robots.
