ARC Advisory Group's Second China Forum to Focus on Achieving Business Excellence through IT and Automation Solutions
DEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, USA - April 19, 2011 - ARC Advisory Group will hold its second China Forum, "Achieving Business Excellence through IT and Automation Solutions" (www.arcweb.com/res/forumchina), May 18-19, 2011 at Hall 311, China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing in conjunction with the FA/PA (Factory Automation/Process Automation) Show. The Forum will include relevant, high-value sessions for both discrete and process manufacturers and other industry participants.
"Over the past three decades, China has achieved unprecedented growth especially in the manufacturing sector. As a result, China has become the second largest industrial nation in the world with its gross industrial out-put making up 50 percent of the country's gross national product," com-mented Andy Chatha, President and CEO, ARC Advisory Group, and a keynote speaker at the upcoming China Forum. "China, however, still faces many challenges, such as high energy consumption, high emissions, poor asset management, and inefficiency. These challenges now create a bottleneck for industrial growth. It's crucial for manufacturers in China to extend and improve their automation and IT solutions to meet these challenges."
To this end, ARC's second China Forum will focus on important topics like manufacturing IT, collaborative operations, energy management, advanced control, motion control, flexible manufacturing, and machine and process safety technologies and will feature leading experts in these fields.
Forum sponsors include respected companies such as ABB, HollySys, Ho-neywell, Siemens, B&R, Beckhoff, Endress+Hauser, HIMA, Pilz, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, and Stäubli.
Co-located with the FA/PA Automation Show (www.fa-pa.com.cn), the Forum is organized by ARC and supported by Gkong.com and Hannover Milano Fair. For more information about ARC's China Forum in Beijing, May 18-19, 2011, readers should visit www.arcweb.com/res/forumchina.
