When I was growing up, my grandparents had a house on the Mississippi river and on summer weekends the entire family would head down to the river to go boating. Their car garage was actually not meant for cars because it housed jet skis, a pontoon boat, and an old dinghy. All of them constantly required some form of maintenance on the days we wanted to put them in the water, so the first few hours of the day were spent wrenching on motors and props. It was a lot of work to have a ton of fun and those were the best days of summer. When we finally got everything up and running, my grandpa would proudly proclaim, "It's all going in!"

Next week in Chicago, it's all going in at Automation Fair. We've been doing a lot of work and we're going to have a ton of fun! Let this just serve as a teaser because there's a lot we can't talk about until we're live and in person next week, but we have some VERY exciting new innovations. If you saw our booth last year, you're not going to want to miss out on what we've got in store this year! Stop by booth #327 for the first-ever look at new electrical safety and predictive maintenance solutions that we can't wait to show you.
