Good morning! Automate is next week, so it's a good time to look at your plant and think about where you could use a robot. Editor Ron Shinn (who'll be walking the show floor) writes that the U.S. has fallen behind in implementing automation. What do you think? For those who are ready to get started with cobots, check out our webinar today.
Our new Machinery Minutes podcast touches on the automation issue, as well as the statuses of smart industry and reshoring from two recent analyses.
We have news from RJG and a new printer from Sinterit, and from The Journal of Blow Molding, a look ahead to the division's annual conference.
Finally, if you missed any of our top stories of the past month, we give you a chance to catch up.
