Altra Systems Technical Manager Armando DiFrancesco participated in a special panel discussion on Batch Manufacturing – one of more than 120 forums, technical sessions and workshops for PSUG members at Rockwell AutomationFair.

“Rockwell AutomationFair is a global showcase for leaders in distribution,  systems  integration,  machine  building,  and complementary  technologies,” DiFrancesco explained.
