  • Cover story: Machine Safety Roundtable
    We gathered eight machine safety experts to discuss the trends and challenges associated with machine safety - everything from standards and implementation issues to the legal ramifications of non-compliance. The second annual machine safety roundtable, sponsored by Festo Inc., will provide insight to machine builders, integrators and manufacturers looking to stay safe while maintaining productivity.

  • Feature: Machine Safety
    How are leading manufacturers creating a safer work environment and optimizing productivity? Aberdeen Group, in association with Manufacturing AUTOMATION, conducted a survey to benchmark how best-in-class manufacturers effectively manage and improve safety from a people, process and technology perspective. In this article, an analyst from Aberdeen Group will share the results of the survey.
