This week, at Machine Building Live, our Application Engineering Manager, Josh Roberts, presented Selecting the Optimal Field-Level Machine Control Architecture. This presentation gave an insight into Selecting the appropriate field-level control architecture for your machine and how it can significantly influence the performance and build / commissioning time, which in turn has a significant impact on the total machine cost. Thank you to everyone who attended! #machinebuildinglive #festo
