Good morning! Our focus on maintenance continues today with a look at the evolution from "run it till it breaks" to the current predictive model, which can significantly cut costs and downtime. In many cases, your equipment is already generating the necessary data; all you need to do is learn how to harness it. 

We're also highlighting new products from AEC and Pellenc ST, and news on robot orders from the Association for Advancing Automation and a ribbon-cutting at Windmoeller & Hoelscher.
