Industry gets a grip on robotics
With a single smooth movement and a firm grip on the future the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA) has amalgamated with the UK's leading industrial vision and robotics associations.
The UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA) and British Automation and Robotics Association have been incorporated into the PPMA. Explaining the logical thinking behind this move, PPMA chief executive Chris Buxton said: "Leading-edge technological advances are at the vanguard of processing and packaging developments, and this was the main driver behind the decision to amalgamate the associations."
PPMA director of automation and robotics Mike Wilson added: "It is particularly important in this current difficult environment that the automation message is spread to as many people in industry as possible."
