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:
