As part of the June issue of Automation magazine we have included our first industry supplement of the year as we take a closer look at the vital role of machine safety.
As well as highlighting some of the latest products available on the market, Paul Laidler of TÜV SÜD Product Service explains the dangers in the sometimes casual attitudes some organisations have with regards to safety guards and protective devices.
Back to the main June issue, our industry focus this month turns the spotlight on the automotive supply chain, highlighting the use of global platforms and cloud-based B2B in this sector, some insightful case studies featuring some the industry’s most well known names such as Jaguar, Mercedes and Volkswagen, plus a look at how manufacturers can stay competitive with strategic business processes.
Our cover story this month ties in neatly with our drives & controls feature and our automotive focus as SEW Eurodrive discuss the installation of a bespoke new drive system on a production line at a first tier supplier of car seating and interiors to the 4×4 SUV market.
