Online Learning Opportunities In Automation

June 5, 2012
Remember way back to the beginning of the century when online trade shows were all the rage?

Somehow they never really caught on. But Advantech Automation is bravely going to buck the trend and try one of its own. It's scheduled for June 19. I'll be out of the country at the Achema trade fair, but that's no excuse anymore--what with the Internet being everywhere. Sounds interesting. I'll be watching just to see if it starts a new trend.

On the other hand, I'll be moderating a more traditional Webcast Thursday with Frank Platt of SAP who will be discussing how some of SAP's new products can help you gain more efficiency in batch manufacturing plants. Come shoot me some questions.
