it seems that UK manufacturing is flourishing. To keep up with the latest news, visit our website – www.designsolutionsmag.co.uk – and follow and interact with us on LinkedIn, @Design Solutions Magazine. In fact this theme could also be seen if you attended Smart Manufacturing Week at the NEC earlier this month. For those who visited, I’m sure you’ll agree it was a really interesting event. The show was bustling, and it was great to see so many exhibitors that we feature in the pages of Design Solutions - EUCHNER, Lamonde, igus, SICK and Binder, to name just a few. According to the show organiser, the event welcomed over 13,000 attendees across two days. And speaking of EUCHNER, this issue marks the final article in its series on machine safety. Over


the last few issues, the company has provided a comprehensive series of insightful features that equip machine designers with a clearer understanding of what machine safety compliance means and how to achieve it. But, on page 22, we ask: ‘What should you do next?’ Also included this month, you can find out why a collaborative approach offers benefits for the design of modern automated systems (page 18); how energy chains manufactured from recycled materials are helping manufacturers meet sustainability demands (pg25); learn about the latest design solutions for the Rail industry (starting on page 35); and discover why planetary gearboxes are the unsung heroes in mechanics (page 44).
