First Sercos Conference in Italy proved to be a success
Sercos International e.V. held its first Sercos Conference in Bergamo, Italy on March 2nd, 2016 in co-operation with Bosch Rexroth, Hilscher, HMS and Schneider Electric.
There were 65 participants, including users and providers from the machine & plant engineering sector, as well as equipment & automation manufacturers. The attendees were particularly enthused by the level of detail and by the opportunities given for personal exchange and networking.
Peter Lutz, Managing Director of Sercos International, reported on the status of the Sercos® technology and its roadmap. This presentation was followed by an in-depth explanation on how Sercos functions, held by HMS. Presentations from Hilscher and Bosch Rexroth on real-time Ethernet in practice and safety in automation concluded the morning.
The rest of the day was devoted entirely to break-out sessions and networking, covering various topics and trends such as Industry 4.0, Sercos tools, how to develop a Sercos-capable product and more. These presentations were held by the above companies and Schneider Electric.
An accompanying exhibition rounded off the services offered to visitors. Automata, Bosch Rexroth, Conductix Wampfler, Hilscher, HMS, Laumas, Schneider Electric, Servotecnica and Smitec used this opportunity to present their Sercos-related products and solutions.
“This event received such a positive response,” says Ilona Arnold, Marketing Manager at Sercos International. “Not only the mix of topics, but also the openness and time to discuss solutions made the Sercos Conference an informative and varied event for all participants.”
