NFPA members are encouraged to register for an upcoming workshop on “Automation for Fluid Power & Off-Road Vehicles,” being held October 2-3, 2024 on the campus of the University of Minnesota and hosted by the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP).
The event will begin with a hosted welcome dinner on Wednesday, October 2, with a full day workshop featuring special invited guest speakers and industry panel presentations by Toro, Danfoss and John Deere on Thursday, October 3. Speaker presentations will be followed by discussion breakout sessions and a final reporting session culminating in a white paper. An agenda is attached with additional schedule and event details and may also be found on www.ccefp.org/summits.
The CCEFP is a university-industry coalition that is working to change the way that fluid power is researched, applied and taught. To achieve this mission, the Center focuses its research in areas that will solve existing industry challenges or create new opportunities for fluid power or both. The CCEFP’s education and outreach program is designed to transfer this knowledge to diverse audiences including students of all ages, users of fluid power and the general public.
