Title: Digital integration into motion systems
Date: March 2026, TBD
Abstract:
Manufacturing is undergoing a fundamental transformation as motion control systems evolve from standalone mechanical solutions to integrated digital ecosystems. This roundtable brings together Design World editors to explore how engineers are successfully bridging the gap between traditional motion control and modern digital infrastructure. The discussion covers real-world implementation strategies, common integration challenges, and emerging opportunities for data-driven motion optimization. Editors will share insights from their coverage of successful digital transformation projects, examining both the technical hurdles and business benefits companies are experiencing as they modernize their motion systems.
