I have now taken over from Neil Mead as editor of Automation magazine – I know I have some big shoes to fill following Neil’s departure but I’m relishing the challenge and I’m very excited about taking on one of Connecting Industry’s flagship titles.

I’d also like to wish Neil all the best in the future and thank him for all his help and advice during the handover.

In this, my first full issue of Automation, we take a look at the latest from the world of machine vision, PLCs & industrial PCs, machine building, materials handling & logistics and medical equipment.
