Welcome!
Why the Canadian
Manufacturing Technology Show is a historic event
 By
Mike Edwards, Editor, DPN
medwards@clbmedia.ca
How's Canada's manufacturing health? A good indication might
just be the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show in Toronto
this October 19-22 at the Direct Energy Centre (www.cmts.ca).
While generalized trade shows have declined in recent years, those that
narrow their focus to hit an industry sweet spot can still thrive. In
the case of CMTS, the show organizer Society of Manufacturing
Engineers (www.sme.org)
is optimistic, trumpeting that "manufacturing still matters."
“Manufacturing is essential to restoring a stagnant economy,” said Mark
Tomlinson, executive director and general manager of the SME. “Not only
is this sector providing good-paying jobs, but it’s also helping to
develop the innovations that will keep Canada globally competitive.”
“That’s not to say the industry is without its challenges,” adds
Tomlinson. With manufacturing sales hitting record lows across almost
all sectors and in all provinces, show organizers are sending out a
strong message that Canadian manufacturers need to rethink business
strategies and embrace diversification in order to survive.
“Businesses have to adapt, whether that means collaborating with other
companies to create larger corporations capable of tackling tough
markets, or transitioning traditional manufacturing processes to take
advantage of emerging trends in the energy, aerospace and medical
industries,” he said, emphasizing that CMTS 2009 conference sessions
will provide participants with valuable insight into these
opportunities.
Included at CMTS is Automation
Rendez-Vous 2009 (October 20-21), a technical two-day conference
showcasing industrial process improvement technologies, partnership best
practices and emerging technologies.
The Automation Rendez-Vous keynote
will be by Dick Morley, a consultant with R. Morley Inc. and father of
the programmable logic controller (PLC).
