He appreciated Vision Technologies for partnering with NUTECH on the joint development and expressed confidence that the collaboration would set a benchmark for academia–industry cooperation in Pakistan's manufacturing sector.

The highlight was a demonstration of six AI-based football quality testing systems — developed in collaboration with Vision Technologies Corporation (Pvt) Ltd in accordance with FIFA Quality Standards by the R&D teams of NUTECH and Robionix Technologies Pvt.

The systems include automated printing fault detection for football panels, football rebound testing, circumference and sphericity measurement, balance testing, shooting-speed measurement for durability machines, and indirect material thickness measurement.

Both institutions agreed in principle to sign a formal MoU for long-term collaboration in AI-enabled manufacturing solutions and knowledge transfer, and will finalize draft clauses ahead of the next meeting.
