The Pacific Design & Manufacturing Show, which takes place every year in Anaheim, Calif., is a combined function playing host to numerous co-located events: the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M West), Automation Technology West, West PACK, Plastec West, and Electronics West. The six events bring together a varied group of designers and engineers to focus on the technology innovations for the upcoming year. This year’s focus on the advances on Smart Manufacturing is certainly a big draw with several automation and robotic experts on display.
