What industries are represented?

Many industries are represented at the Expo. Some areas of manufacturing where you’ll find product demos and display include:

  • Ergonomics
  • Robotics
  • Assembly
  • Industry 4.0
  • Material handling
  • Health and safety
  • Fluid and hydraulics
  • Worker guidance
  • Manipulators
  • Wearable technology

There is no shortage of innovative products and solutions that you will find at the event this year. Whatever your area of manufacturing happens to be, you will likely find great new products and inspiration from the IHAT Expo. Demonstrations and talks are scheduled for traditional areas of manufacturing such as material handling and assembly, along with areas that have emerging technologies including robotics and wearable technology. One of the most exciting and innovative areas in manufacturing today is robotics. Robots are increasingly used in manufacturing to expedite and automate tasks. They are also used to reduce the margin of error in product creation, which in turn helps customers and partners build trust in a company. By using robots to complete work traditionally performed by humans, companies allow humans to work in more productive areas within the manufacturing space. Assembly, shipping, and welding are some areas in manufacturing where robots play a starring role.

You can learn more about workplace compliance and safety through the health and safety component of the Expo, which is also an area that the experts at C Tek can tell you more about. Health and safety have always been a critical part of manufacturing, but business owners also now need to take into account special considerations due to COVID-19, which has introduced new challenges and compliance mandates that facility operators must remain aware of. In addition to the topics above, you can also find out more about compliance and maintaining a positive and productive workplace environment through Worker Guidance.
