Rockwell’s Automation Fair 2015 kicked off today in Chicago, and as usual, it sets the standard for the industry.

Unique in it’s position for facilitating complete solutions, Rockwell uses the Fair to show what’s new and next, while also setting the topics of conversation for the coming year. Seminars and meetings cover topics such as;

• Converging Operations with IT as more and more production becomes computer controlled
• The “Internet of Things” and how to use it to your advantage
• A kick-off diner last night that had over 300 attendees and was focused on Latin America

The Journal has excellent, real-time coverage on it’s Facebook page, and you can follow Nook’s coverage as well by clicking here.

If you’re in Chicago, enjoy the show. If not; make plans to attend next year in Atlanta.
