<strong>MDA</strong> North America <strong>2016</strong><br />
Motion, Drive & Automation North America <strong>2016</strong> offers the latest<br />
technologies and solutions in power transmission, motion control<br />
and fluid technology. Since its debut in 2014, this event brings the<br />
together a diverse and comprehensive group of motion, drive and<br />
automation companies. It offers a unique display of technologies<br />
and solutions to meet even the most precise manufacturing needs.<br />
As companies respond to new market realities, the customer<br />
demand for proficient and stable products is higher than ever.<br />
Manufacturers know its critical to invest in exploring new solutions<br />
and discovering innovations. <strong>MDA</strong> North America provides the ideal<br />
platform for manufacturing industry professionals from around the<br />
world to consult with colleagues and experts about the future of industrial<br />
manufacturing technology. Visitors represent a range of<br />
manufacturing companies, from SMEs to large enterprises. Professionals<br />
from almost every aspect of manufacturing attend the events,<br />
including corporate managers, sales and marketing personnel, purchasing<br />
and manufacturing/production managers, designers and<br />
engineers.<br />
The product category at <strong>MDA</strong> North America includes: Drives<br />
and mechanical transmission systems likes linear motion systems,<br />
Gears, Electric motors and frequency inverters, chain transmissions,<br />
belt transmissions, couplings and brakes, fasteners, springs<br />
and bearings. It also includes wide range of products and systems<br />
for example oil and water hydraulics, pneumatics, engineering software<br />
services and solutions for support and maintenance services.<br />
Visitors including decision makers from all sorts of manufacturing<br />
industries attend <strong>MDA</strong> North America to explore and research<br />
new and emerging technology, access business networks and<br />
opportunities, learn about innovations and trends, discover new<br />
machinery and equipment to increase productivity and efficiency.<br />
assembly and handling systems, new technologies in electric power<br />
transmission and motion control systems, production logistics and<br />
material handling systems. This show also has on display products<br />
for process control and automation, measurement and monitoring<br />
systems and intelligent energy solutions for integrating the entire<br />
energy chain. Thinking of smart and intelligent automation technologies,<br />
one obviously has to rope in the latest industrial software<br />
and IT solutions. IA North America presents software and IT solutions<br />
for every stage of industrial process chain – from Wireless<br />
M2M, smart factory KL, cyber physical systems and control systems,<br />
IPCs, sensor technology and image processing software, connection<br />
and interface technology and most importantly concepts and<br />
applications for “internet of things” and Industry 4.0.<br />
The bottom line of what we saw in Hannover and what we shall<br />
see in Chicago is that: “the factory is going digital; the IT, the internet<br />
and the manufacturing industry are converging”. What was earlier a<br />
vision is now shaping into a reality.”<br />

Industrial Automation North America <strong>2016</strong><br />
For quite some time now, Germany along with other leading industrialized<br />
nations in the world is talking about “factory of the future”,<br />
“intelligent factory” or “Industry 4.0”. In the coming years, there is<br />
going to be a drastic change in the way a factory operates, with<br />
increasing transformations in the operating flows and digitalization<br />
in the entire value chain. The statistics for investments made by<br />
companies, small and large in automation suggests a fundamental<br />
reshaping of the production landscape that could eventually have<br />
implications for most aspects of manufacturing activity. Digital<br />
integration is becoming a key aspect of modern manufacturing, and<br />
this trend is set to continue at a rapid pace.<br />
Aiming to strike a chord on these lines among exhibitors and<br />
attendees from industries, businesses and governments, IA North<br />
America gives high emphasis on the digitalization of manufacturing<br />
systems and processes. In Chicago, visitors from the manufacturing<br />
industries can understand the concepts of “smart factory” and<br />
gradually transform their existing production facility into “intelligent<br />
factories”, in which data is seamlessly exchanged between<br />
machines and products to ensure optimal results and peak efficiency.<br />
IA North America showcases the best in process, factory and<br />
building automation with products and solutions for production<br />
automation, process and energy automation, industrial software, IT<br />
and precision manufacturing. The product category at IA North<br />
America consists of robotics and systems integration, automated<br />
Motion, Drive & Automation North America returns as a co-located<br />
event with IMTS <strong>2016</strong> and presents the latest technologies and<br />
solutions in power transmission, motion control and fluid technology
