Infocast Presents the Automation, Robotics & Supply Chain Summit Next Month in Pittsburgh
Where Automation, Robotics & Supply Chain Experts Assemble with System Integrators and End-Users
Woodland Hills, CA June 17, 2013
Infocast is delighted to announce its Automation, Robotics & the Supply Chain Summit, next month in Pittsburgh from the 16-17 at the Fairmont Pittsburgh. With 8 real-world case studies and a faculty comprised of system integrators, robotics and automation technology providers, plus the companies utilizing those technologies today, this ground-breaking summit will demonstrate how to plan, operate and justify the costs of an automated supply chain and materials handling operation. Two dual-track workshops precede the summit; Constructing a Roadmap for Successful Automation and Building Your Automated Supply Chain Team, and survey the economics of automating your materials handling operation.
The market for supply chain and distribution services is in upheaval, driven by increasing consumer demand for next-day and same-day deliveries and an expanding variety of product offerings. By embracing advanced automated supply chain solutions and robotics, distributors and suppliers can expect to experience lower operational costs, greater throughput and ultimately higher revenues. But only those operators who are well versed in the financial risks and rewards, technical considerations, and long-term trends will prosper as the market for their services continues to evolve and grow. Infocast's Automation, Robotics & the Supply Chain Summit will be the place to learn about automating your materials handling operation, network with leaders in the field, share experiences with peers and develop the strategies needed to strike deals in an increasingly complex market.
The power-packed program includes experts from Anheuser-Busch, Corkill Insurance Agency, Daifuku Webb, Egemin Automation, enVista Corporation, FOX IV Technologies, Integrated Systems Design (ISD), Fanuc Robotics, Grenzebach Corporation, JBT Corporation, Miebach Consulting, MMPEX Systems, Retrotech, Safety Compliance Services, Sapient Automation, SAS Automation, Seegrid, SICK, St. Onge Company, Trommer & Associates, Vanderlande Industries, Westfalia Technologies, Wirtz Beverage Illinois, Yaskawa Motoman with SupplyChainBrain and Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine as Media Partners.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
