The Best Sights from the Rockwell Automation Fair 2018

Dec. 5, 2018
The Rockwell Automation Fair highlighted deep levels of technology integration, continuing the trend of combining different technologies to form new advancements.

The Rockwell Automation Fair 2018 was held this year in Philadelphia, PA, and hosted over 150 exhibitors and offered more than 400 hours of educational opportunities. The last Automation Fair to be held in Philadelphia was in 2012 when ideas like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Smart Manufacturing were in its infancy. This year’s Automation Fair hosted several key technology integrations which are allowing motion products to be embedded with IIoT innovation. See how technology integration is the next wave of technology advancement.
