McLean, Va.--Showcasing the most innovative technological developments for the manufacturing industry, IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 will present the Emerging Technology Center (ETC) in partnership with the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
The ETC made its debut at IMTS 2004 and is the place where the manufacturing community gathers to view the future of manufacturing technology. The theme for the 2010 ETC is “Knowledge-Based” — applying knowledge-based management across the full spectrum including technology, manufacturing, people, and business. Past innovations featured in the ETC include nanotechnology, now commonly used throughout the industry, as well as the 2008 debut of MTConnect®, a series of open standards that address manufacturing systems interoperability on the shop floor.
