Rockwell Automation Provides Manufacturing Perspectives Preview


MANUFACTURING PERSPECTIVES PREVIEW!
Manufacturing Perspectives 2008 - Tuesday, Nov. 18

Each year, prior to the opening of the Automation Fair® event, industry experts gather at this global media forum to discuss their perspectives on the key issues in manufacturing. This year, speakers will explore how manufacturing convergence - the merging of separate functions and systems through technology, people and processes - can help companies achieve higher levels of business performance, turn resources into assets and discover innovative new opportunities for competitiveness.

Industry experts also will discuss sustainable production and solutions for the global shortage of technical talent. To date, confirmed speakers include Keith Nosbusch, chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation, and Dr. Sam Pitroda, chair of India's National Knowledge Commission who reports to the Prime Minister. Also speaking in various panel discussions are business leaders from Cisco, Microsoft, Delmia and The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).

The full Manufacturing Perspectives 2008 agenda will soon be located on the online press room. Check back frequently for confirmed speaker updates.

Following Manufacturing Perspectives, the Automation Fair® event will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 19, and Thursday, Nov. 20, at Gaylord Opryland Complex, providing an opportunity to meet with Rockwell Automation experts, partners and customers and learn more about the latest developments in advanced automation products, engineering services and integrated control and information architecture.
