Automation Today - 1-2012

Welcome to the very first electronic issue of 'Automation Today.'

Building on the success of our printed magazine, this electronic version enables you to ‘dig deeper’ on the particular features that are of specific interest to you.

For future issues, in addition to the links and additional background information, we will be showcasing videos and interactive content to really bring to life our industry-leading approach and technologies. We will still be using a general theme for the magazine, and in this issue we are presenting multiple articles that address the concept of total Cost of Ownership or TCO.

TCO is of vital importance to both machine builders and end users alike, as it helps to create a competitive edge by increasing profit margins through enhanced functionality and efficiency and the removal of unnecessary costs. These costs fall into many areas, such as capital costs, design costs, running costs, maintenance costs and even safety-related costs.

The beauty of the approach we can offer is that our integrated approach to safety, automation, process and motion will help you realise multiple cost savings through the use of a single, common, integrated and scalable platform.
