IHS GlobalSpec Industrial Automation & Robotic Systems Online Event Now Available On Demand


EAST GREENBUSH, N.Y. --(Business Wire)--

The April 10 Industrial Automation & Robotic Systems online event hosted by IHS (News - Alert) GlobalSpec drew more than 1,800 participants, with nearly all attendees reporting they are decision makers within their organizations. The free online event is now available on demand to give engineers and industrial professionals easy access to educational presentations and industry-leading supplier resources from the live-day event.

IHS GlobalSpec's Industrial Automation & Robotic Systems online event provided opportunities to explore the latest developments in motors, drives and controllers and to chat directly with suppliers about industrial robots, networking protocols and new product introductions. By attending this event, participants were also able to share ideas and business strategies with their colleagues, gain knowledge from industry experts during educational forums and learn about technology advances impacting their manufacturing operations.

Industrial professionals took advantage of these learning and networking opportunities from the convenience of their desktops, without having to budget for travel expenses or lose time away from the office.

"Event participants told us that they gained useful knowledge about important developments in their industries that can help them run their manufacturing operations more efficiently," said Donna Lewis, director of e-publishing and e-events for IHS GlobalSpec. "Once again attendance was terrific and delivered a highly desired and influential audience for our exhibitors."

Speakers and topics included:

  • Best Practices for Energy Optimization
    Industrial energy consumption already accounts for roughly half of the world's total delivered energy. Even so, global energy demands from this "largest end use sector" are projected to skyrocket in coming decades. This presentation showed how managing energy as a production resource can lead to best practices in the optimization of energy usage.
    Presented by Katherine Voss, president & executive director, ODVA, Inc.
