Error proofing, quality control and flexibility are essential on today’s assembly lines. As a result, manufacturers are increasingly investing in state-of-the-art fastening tools. Today’s tools allow engineers to adjust fastening speed to match various applications and control more aspects of the tightening process, including key parameters such as torque and angle. The ASSEMBLY Show features numerous suppliers of fastening tools and accessories. This tour provides a look at five leading vendors.

This tour will introduce you to six software suppliers that are leading the digital transformation of assembly lines. We’ll cover the gamut of software technology, from error-proofing workstations to analyzing the performance of assembly lines or entire plants. Whether you’re looking for ERP software or digital work instructions, you’ll find it at The ASSEMBLY Show.

TOUR 3: Automated Assembly Systems
