Schneider Electric at PPMA2000
Schneider Electric is showing and demonstrating a huge range of innovative products, principally from its well known Modicon and Telemecanique brands at this year's PPMA exhibition
A large-format full-colour animated display, designed around the concept of The Transparent Packaging Line - an extension of the highly successful Transparent Factory concept - is a major focus on the Schneider Electric stand at this year's Processing and Packaging Machinery Exhibition Offering spectacular 3D fly-throughs of a typical packaging system, the display not only illustrates the benefits of using equipment from the brands of Schneider Electric, but also demonstrates how the latest open communications technology provides innovative data collection and control functions which are vital if optimum performance is to be achieved in modern packaging plants
