<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
