NFPA Joint Conference Rolling into Rosemont, Ill.

Sept. 11, 2013
We provide detailed coverage of the Fluid Power Systems Conference, featuring design workshops to communicate the importance of energy efficiency and reliability, hands-on maintenance instruction, roundtable discussions, and networking events
Rogers

The 2013 Fluid Power Systems Conference, scheduled for November 19 to 21 at the Doubletree Hotel, Rosemont, Ill., will kick off with a keynote address by Gary W. Rogers, president and CEO of FEV Inc. Rogers, a commercial vehicle powertrain expert, has titled his presentation, “Reducing Energy Expenses Utilizing Hybrid Waste Trucks, Transit Buses, and Delivery Vehicles.”

Rogers currently sits on the National Academy of Sciences’ (NAS) Board on Energy and Environmental Systems and on the Medium and Heavy-duty Truck CO2 and Fuel Economy Phase 2 committee for the NAS. He will discuss the state of development of hydraulic hybrid systems with respect to commercial vehicles including factors such as efficiency, commonality of infrastructure and total cost of ownership. The technology will be compared to hybrid electric and CNG-fuelled alternatives.

Now in its third year, the conference will feature design workshops to communicate the importance of energy efficiency and reliability, hands-on maintenance instruction, roundtable discussions, and networking events, including an Innovations Showcase.

Hosted by the International Fluid Power Society (IFPS), the FPDA Motion and Control Network (FPDA), and the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) this conference, now in its third year, will host more than 150 professionals responsible for specifying, designing and/or maintaining hydraulic and pneumatic systems in industrial settings or mobile applications.

The two-day educational conference will focus on:

  • Design workshops to communicate why energy efficiency and reliability are increasingly a concern of machine builders and the role of fluid power in increasing machine efficiency and reliability and balancing cost issues for hydraulic and pneumatic systems;
  • Hands-on instruction into practical maintenance techniques from fluid power component manufacturers, distributors, and system integrators;
  • Facilitated roundtable discussions, where peers can share specific challenges associated with their industry and applications, learn about fluid power standards, best practices in building efficient and reliable fluid power systems, and the future of fluid power;
  • Networking events, including the Innovations Showcase, to help participating engineers and technicians engage with technology providers from fluid power manufacturing and distribution companies to learn the newest, cutting edge developments in energy efficient and reliable developments in hydraulics and pneumatics.
Fluid Power Systems Conference schedule of events:  Tuesday, November 19, 2013 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm The Welcome Reception and Fluid Power Systems Conference Innovation Showcase offers FPSC attendees a unique opportunity not only to network during the reception but to peruse through a showcase filled with state of the art fluid power product designed specifically to make fluid power as efficient as possible.
