MSOE’s Fluid Power Industrial Consortium on Tap for Milwaukee

Feb. 23, 2018
Get the skinny on this can’t-miss technical seminar.

Time is running out to register for the Milwaukee School of Engineering's Fluid Power Industrial Consortium (FPIC). The half-day technical seminar will focus on devices that perform self-diagnostics and troubleshooting and integrate easily with “plug-and-play” functionality. It is scheduled to be held Friday, March 2, 2018 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Milwaukee. (Click here to make a reservation at a discounted rate for the event.) For the first time, non-consortium members are invited to register for the seminar and experience first-hand the benefits of becoming an FPIC member.

Technical sessions include:

Smart Sensors in Fluid Power: A Systems-Solutions Approach

Presented by Roger Grace, sensor industry marketing expert, Roger Grace Associates

Pressure and Temperature Sensing are Combined into a Single Package Using Smart Packaging, Calibration and Testing

Presented by Gary Winzeler, VP sales & marketing, DunAn Sensing

IO-Link: A New Way to Communicate with Smart Sensors

Presented by Yuen Li, product marketing manager, Industrial Networks, IFM Efector
