Imaginary Access For An Imaginary Day!

MOTOR & DRIVE SYSTEMS 2022 CONFERENCE FEBRUARY 8 – 9

MOTOR & DRIVE SYSTEMS 2022 CONFERENCE

I would love to be able to fly, I would love to be able to understand how to fly like a bird, I would like to fly as fast as a rocket, as fast as photon. But more than any of that, I would love to be able to attend the Motor & Drive Systems 2022 Conference in Orlando Florida, oh my robot, I wish I could be there to take in all of the valuable information that will be freely available to anyone that attends. Anything that has to do with motor design, application and trends will be on full display at MDS 2022. If you are an avid fan of robotics, or you work in the any particular field that uses drives and electronics powered by a motor – you will want to attend.

Personally, if I wasn’t too busy to attend, I would already be enjoying the sand and the views in Orlando. But alas, my work keeps using my time more fully than I sometimes wish to be free. He, he. What I am on the look out for though is an individual that would like to attend. If you are a journalist and have a great mind for reporting details of a technical event that covers so many areas – we need you attend and provide us with information about products, inventions and trends along with information regarding leaders of every company attending (all readily available information for any attendee).

Attendees will enjoy not only the beautiful city of Orlando Florida, but you should also be apprised of a couple of other details; Motor & Drive Systems provide a great forum where attendees will gain insight into the latest technical advancements that will pact design, integration and efficiency of motor, drive systems and motion control for automation, robotics, manufacturing and industrial as well as utilities and automotive applications.

For myself personally, the Robotics part really jumps out at me for some reason. Anyhow, the reason I needed to bring this information to you folks is that if you are a programmer that will at any point be working in Robotics or any type automation device ( camera motorized tripods, camera lenses, drone motors, axles, servos etc. Any type of motor, or drive systems that are powered by robotics, electronics, wires, switches, computers or what have you will be covered at this conference. If for example you are developing something similar to what are currently working on : micro – robotics; it might be of great interest to know what types of components or materials to build any such components are currently being developed by other companies. It could save you a lot of time. Yes? Yes. And if you are working on a Robotic Arm – It might interest you to know what materials are available to you depending on the strength target for your Mechanical Device, will it be lightweight, heavyweight? Will it be strong? Is it malleable? You get the point. You will be able to gain insight into how the entire industry comes together to form a supply chain for so many different industries crucial to the technological advancements for all involved. Critical I say!

Attendees will gain the opportunity to join the leaders of automotive manufacturing, that will introduce you to the latest in design materials that will provide you with an economic edge within your system projects and provide you with the ability to build them better, faster and stronger. Leaders in engineering will also attend and you will be able to pick their brains and gain insight into how integrating the newest technologies in appliance motor and drive systems will result in a much higher quality product for your target consumer.

Motor Design Specialist will also be present to introduce you to magnetic materials manufacturing techniques that are changing everything from motor components to testing and applications.

You will even gain insight into how new designs and materials will serve you more efficiently allowing you to save greatly on costs.

Folks, ladies and gentlemen; if you want to know the what, how, who and why – I will tell you.

The what is The Conference Program for Motor & Drive Systems 2022, the how is you fly to Orlando Florida and attend. The who is/are the person/persons you will meet at the Conference that will have so much insight for you within their specific area of expertise. I mean these guys are the technical people that you want to be talking to because they are the guys on the ground floor working on the newest technologies covered at this event. So you gotta go to know – you know? And the why? Well in all honesty, I think only you can answer that one.

I mean guys, we are talking about subjects that most of us wouldn’t even think about otherwise. Trust me. I mean, here you will hear about different markets for differing industries. Topics like how do we improve the energy that goes into any of these motor & drive systems offering assistance in lowering the effect that electrical devices and components have on the climate on a global scale (very important stuff).

They will offer insights into specific improvements in Dynamic Motor drives, High Resolution Magnetic Sensors – I mean guys High Res Magnetic Sensors? My mouth is watering.

Other things like measuring power losses in electrical devices and how it is being improved.

Temperature Readings that effect motor and drive performance at high velocity and what can be done to counteract the stresses due to rotational forces. Need I say more?

In addition to this great news – you might also be interested in becoming a keynote speaker at the event and there is in fact a call for speakers so if you are interested – just go the site and sign up.

If you are a Robotocist, a Machinist, an Engineer or an Architect – and oh a Journalist. Please go to this event and tell us all about it so we can publish it here on IA – you will be given full credit for your work if it s acceptable and we will cover your flight and travel costs.
