Assembly technology experience to be exchanged
November 6th and 7th sees the next meeting of Assembly-Net, a European funded project established in order to share and exchange the latest developments in assembly system technology.
This project looks from the sides of the customers, system intergrators and suppliers, to allow a common ground when defining automated assembly procedures and processes.
Associates from TQC and PMG will be presenting the website on the BARA Village Stand in Hall 5, practical demonstrations showing the work to date with be on show throughout the week.
The E-RACE project has 23 members from 4 European countries.
Research Partners include VTT Manufacturing Technology, Helsinki, Finland, Tampere University of Technology (TUT), The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH) and Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) Industrial Partners include Bespak, Desoutter Sales, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Riley Automation and System Devices , with 2 supporting partners, The British Automation and Robot Association and the Electronics-Enables Products Knowledge-Transfer Network (grew out of PRIME Faraday) helping with exposure of the project.
