Just returned from Bulk/Power 2001, and, from a controls standpoint: boring, dull, last-century. Vendors were proud to show that their controls were 'cheap', 'inexpensive', etc. Last year, plenty of MMI show-offs, this year: nothing. Also noticable by their absence were the large engineering companies. Somebody want to draw come conclusions for this industry? Jeff P.S. FINALLY! I've seen the almost perfect marketing application for Devi$eNET. A rather large 'stretch wrap' machine, Moolers, I think, with sensors and solenoids all over the machine, all in within a short distance, etc. NOPE! WHY: TOO EXPENSIVE. (At least it's not just me.)
