We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Automation Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Special machines build simplified from
Misumi, which we summarised at the time by saying "At the UK's Machine Building Show, a company is introducing a system of standard shapes, used within industry standard machines, to simplify special machine construction".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Choosing robots for surface finishing applications from
KUKA Automation + Robotics: "Robotics manufacturer is to present its latest research on choosing the best robotic system for surface finishing at a workshop scheduled during September".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Ethernet Direct
- take a look at Ethernet support in India with new locations
which says: "Four support locations in India have been announced to serve the growing Industrial Ethernet market by Ethernet Direct".
Take a look also at the news release from CAD Society, Award for improving CAD communications,
as well as Kuka Robitics appoints new President from KUKA Automation + Robotics,
and Experienced automation executive heads KUKA from KUKA Automation + Robotics.
