Mark your diary. On Wednesday 14th October, MachineBuilding.Live and FoodManufacturing.Live land side by side at the NAEC, Stoneleigh Park, for one jam-packed day of industrial automation insight. The event is free to attend for machine builders, systems integrators and manufacturing professionals.
Alongside the exhibition floor, a full CPD-accredited workshop programme is taking shape fast, with confirmed speakers from Pilz Automation Technology, Lenze, B&R, SKF, Beckhoff and SolutionsPT are already locked in to bring the latest technologies, practical ideas and expert guidance direct to the machine building community.
Expect practical, no-nonsense sessions on the topics engineers are actually grappling with: preparing for the incoming Machinery Regulation, integrating robotics directly into machine platforms, moving to cabinet-free automation, building a secure-by-design HMI for the connected machine builder and reducing unplanned downtime through smarter diagnostics and condition monitoring
Hands-on IO-Link training returns. Fresh off sold-out sessions at MachineBuilding.North and MachineBuilding.South, Tim Beech CEng MIET (Managing Director, TGN Project Services) delivers two-hour sessions on behalf of PIUK - putting delegates directly in front of live training rigs and real hardware to cover IO-Link integration, device parameterisation and PROFINET implementation.
Workshops regularly sell out, so we'd recommend registering now and booking your sessions early to avoid missing out.
Register your free VIP pass to guarantee entry to both events.
