SMC is to host a dynamic technology show at its Auckland offices to showcase the company’s latest automation technologies. The event, to be held on 26 February, is to be a platform for education and engagement around SMC’s technologies.
Peter Wilson, Auckland branch manager, said the event would highlight the company’s industrial internet of things (IIoT) technologies as 2020 is expected to be a big year for automation.
“An increasing number of companies are now incorporating IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies into their systems and processes,” he said.
“Pressing issues such as climate change and government regulations around health and safety require companies to continuously evolve. The need for smarter, safer, quieter products with a small environmental footprint is now critical.”
Wilson said showcasing solutions in this type of structured environment would bring benefits to SMC’s customers.
“This event gives us the opportunity to connect with our customers, demonstrate our products and to answer any questions in an engaged environment,” he said.
Wilson said that adoption rates of IIoT technologies in New Zealand have been slow but increasing.
“I am particularly excited about our new range of wireless controlled manifolds,” he said.
“These have seen great success in the robotics industry thanks to improved reliability and weight reductions on robot heads.”
The technology show will include workshops on the range of online tools offered by SMC.
