Quick IMTS Take Away in 10 bullet points.
Published
Hi All,
IMTS is where I get a chance to see what advanced technologies are now ready to change how we need to look at equipment useful life and value across a variety of industries.
I thought I would pass along to my SME colleagues these two “take away” bullet lists that I sent out to my Lending and Finance clients who follow advance manufacturing equipment (see below).
You may find them somewhat useful (or at least amusing).
IMTS returns this September to Chicago and I’m going. If you’re going to be at IMTS, Let’s connect on the show floor.
If you can’t go, tell me what interests you and I’ll put it on my checkout list for review.
Going or Not Going, I hope to hear from you, reach out to me via connect!
