NFPA to Present “Digital Fluid Power – Advances & Controls in Hydraulics & Pneumatics” at AUTOMATE on May 8

NFPA members are encouraged to attend the AUTOMATE trade show, to be held May 6-9, 2024 in Chicago, IL.

As part of our efforts to provide an effective forum for our members to connect with key end markets in fluid power, NFPA will be organizing a panel discussion on “Digital Fluid Power” on the AUTOMATE conference schedule. The session will occur on Wednesday, May 8 at 8:00 AM Central Time.

Digital Fluid Power – Advances & Controls in Hydraulics & Pneumatics

Moderated by Dan Bagley, StrategicInk for NFPA, the National Fluid Power Association

Three outstanding panelists will discuss the latest fluid power technologies and how they interconnect with the digital industrial transformation taking place in the automation sector. Each of the panelists will share their experiences with a view towards how digitization and automation in fluid power technology is helping industrial systems develop new products and new capabilities. It will be a discussion that also engages the audience in how they can best integrate with advanced hydraulic and pneumatic technologies.

Panelists:

  • Chris Harwood – Sun Hydraulics
  • Adam Livesay – Elevāt
  • Dan Barrera – Bosch Rexroth
