SME and IMTS Unveil Plans for IMTS 2010 Emerging Technology Center
McLean, Va. . . . Showcasing the most innovative technological developments for the manufacturing industry, IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 will present the Emerging Technology Center (ETC) in partnership with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
The ETC made its debut at IMTS 2004 and is the place where the manufacturing community gathers to view the future of manufacturing technology. The theme for the 2010 ETC is “Knowledge-Based” — applying knowledge-based management across the full spectrum including technology, manufacturing, people, and business. Past innovations featured in the ETC include nanotechnology, now commonly used throughout the industry, as well as the 2008 debut of MTConnect, a series of open standards that address manufacturing systems interoperability on the shop floor.
“We are very excited to have SME on board as a partner,” said Peter Eelman, Vice President-Exhibitions & Communications for IMTS. “SME is well-known as a primary resource for independent education and dissemination of technology. We look forward to again opening the window on future technology developments that will interest all of our visitors.”
Throughout IMTS 2010, the Emerging Technology Center will be located in the North Building lobby of McCormick Place.
