Manufacturing tech show planned in Rosemont

Manufacturing technology is the focus of the Assembly Show 2017 taking place Oct. 24 - 26 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

An informative workshop track dedicated to Industry 4.0 is planned while Derek Harper, Faurecia North America's Vice President of Information Technology, is delivering a keynote session on the company's own transition into the modern age of manufacturing.

"The Assembly Show has been a great success, in five years we have grown in both attendees and exhibitors, allowing us to put on a bigger and better show dedicated to the manufacturing industry," said Tom Esposito, publisher of the Assembly magazine. "Manufacturing is the fourth largest segment in the U.S. economy and with exhibitors displaying their state-of-the-art equipment, expert speakers delivering timely educational sessions such as collaborative robotics and light weighting in the automobile industry, and colleagues throughout the industry exchanging advice and ideas, the Assembly Show will be offering many new ways to bring manufacturing back to America."

Innovative presentations on industry news will be delivered by the companies on the forefront of manufacturing advancements. Exhibitors at the show will display their solutions to the issues facing the industry. Several exhibitors will be displaying their collaborative robotics technology including a dual armed robot from EdgeWater Automation and there will be some new power tools on the show floor from companies such as APEX, which are reinventing products for better design and better worker productivity. Companies using these tools are now able to gather real time feedback from customers and do rapid prototyping to make the best products for assembly lines.

She show is sponsored by the Assembly, a monthly trade magazine read by 56,000 engineers and managers responsible for manufacturing and designing cars, computers, catheters, coffee makers.

The event is produced by BNP Media, a business-to-business media companies serving professionals across 50+ industries.
