Fluid Power Forum recently hosted an education program at PACK EXPO, the large trade show for the processing and packaging industry. Our event focused on Advanced Pneumatic Solutions for Packaging Machines. We know that pneumatics is a reliable and cost-effective technology for many core actuated functions on those machines. But it is becoming even more indispensable through its integration with smart sensors and network connectivity, and now it can provide new capabilities from reduced energy consumption to preventative and predictive maintenance. We had three great presenters from three pneumatic companies, each showcasing the latest technologies that are bringing these benefits to packaging and other industrial machine manufacturers. One of those presenters was Frank Langro, the Director of Product Market Management for Pneumatic Automation at Festo, and what follows is a recording of the presentation he gave at our PACK EXPO session. If you want to follow along with Frank's slides, we've put links in the show notes that will allow you to watch along with a video we've created, where we've done our best to sync up Frank's recording with his slides. Either is a good resource for you, but I'm sure you'll also find value in just listening to the recording. Frank's presentation was titled “Smart Pneumatics for Packaging Equipment."

IN A NUTSHELL AT PACK EXPO INTERNATIONAL 2022Post-COVID, tradeshows have been slowly lumbering back into the global event circuit this past year or so, most to highly receptive audiences. One of the biggest returnees, PACK EXPO International (Chicago, October 23-26), absent since 2018, promised to return larger than ever with a flurry of new looks, staging, and attendee outreach.Upon hitting the show floor, the jump-out realizations to grab onto at Pack Expo 2022 are two: More cobots doing more things better and more flexibly than ever; and then, upon closer inspection of those same cobots, the fact that integration of cobot systems is the next great advance in robotics.  If that's all you took away from the show, you would have, in a nutshell, seen the future of packaging and packing. PHILOSOPHY MEETS THE WORLD OF AI, ROBOTICS AND BIG DATA We'll visit the resumes of philosophy majors to see how they are uniquely qualified for the world of AI, robotics and big data. Yes, you heard right: philosophers.According to David Deutsch, arguably the founding father of quantum computing, is betting on it in his article that he titles: “Philosophy will be the key that unlocks artificial intelligence.”Yes, philosophy, that most ancient of human brain teasers. And if AI is to ever emulate the thinking capability of a human being, philosophy is the answer.For all those job-hunting philosophers, listen up. Jobs are looking for you. INTERNATIONAL INTERNET DAY: WRONG DATE, WRONG PEOPLE… Every October 29th International Internet Day is celebrated around the world, but did you know that it's the wrong date, the wrong people, and the wrong computers? Larry Roberts and Tom Marill did it first in February of 1966, three years earlier than 1969 event celebrated widely. And the reason why Larry and Tom did it is absolutely fascinating
