Welcome to the September digital issue of Factory Equipment!
Now that the summer is well and truly over, the industry’s show season is in full swing! There are a number of events taking place across the next few months that will bring a range of sectors to life.
First up is the PPMA Show – highlighting the best in process and packaging machinery for food and bev, pharma and personal care markets. Then, Advanced Engineering 2017 brings together engineers and factory equipment specialists to look at the future of industrial manufacturing, with connected machines and integrated supply chains playing key roles. As well as this, Robotics & Automation 2017 gives visitors the chance to browse the latest automation and machine vision solutions to get ahead in the global market.
Elsewhere in this issue, we take a look at the growing amount of automated systems in manufacturing and the use of robotics to, for example, move large, heavy and awkward components – freeing up employees to work in other skilled areas where they may be required more.
Our Materials Handling & Logistics supplement is back this month, too, with information about lift truck visibility and the use of cameras and telematics for improved safety in factories, production plants and ports.
