Get ready: here is what you will learn at FoodManufacturing.Live and MachineBuilding.Live this October

Alongside the exhibition floor, a full CPD-accredited workshop programme is taking shape fast, with confirmed speakers from Pilz Automation Technology, Lenze, B&R, SKF, Beckhoff and SolutionsPT already locked in to bring you the very latest technologies, practical ideas and expert guidance.

Expect practical, no-nonsense sessions on the topics engineers are actually grappling with: preparing for the incoming Machinery Regulation, integrating robotics directly into machine platforms, keeping food-safe machinery reliable while cutting downtime, moving to cabinet-free automation, and building a secure-by-design HMI for the connected machine builder.

Hands-on IO-Link training is confirmed to return, hot on the heels of sold-out sessions at MachineBuilding.North and MachineBuilding.South. Delivered by Tim Beech CEng MIET, Managing Director of TGN Project Services, on behalf of PIUK, the two-hour sessions put delegates directly in front of live training rigs and real hardware, covering IO-Link integration, device parameterisation and PROFINET implementation.

Workshops regularly sell out, so we'd recommend registering now and booking your sessions early to avoid missing out.
