solutions that offer ever higher levels of productivity, and also ensuring greater user safety. As a result, our Machine building, frameworks & safety section this month covers all these areas. Not only do we unveil the latest products – including a machine-guarding system that combines advanced wireless technology with 100% interior visibility – but we take a look at why embracing intelligent systems, and collaboration with partners and suppliers, is essential. We find out why machine builders across the world are actively promoting ways in which their machines enable greater sustainability for manufacturers, and the barriers faced; and we explore fundamental principles for designing inherently safe machines, focusing on control systems, hardware design, and effective risk minimisation techniques. Meanwhile, if you’re thinking about attending an exhibition in the next month we’ve included two
previews for you. The first is HANNOVER MESSE which takes place in Nuremberg at the end of this month and will showcase AI technologies. At the second –
MachineBuilding.North in Manchester at the beginning of April – UK suppliers of machine building and factory automation products and services will be displaying their solutions and technologies to those visiting. In other news, Design Solutions magazine is now available as an App on your mobile device!
