Innovation seems be one of those buzz words that has lost some of its original meaning due to overuse. To innovate, or to create something new, is popular among marketers to demonstrate that your company is staying on trend, furthering technology, or growing new ideas to stand out from competitors. But, did you also know that innovation can be listening to others and understanding where the industry is moving as a whole? The AGMA Fall Technical Meeting (FTM) is the truest form of innovation for gear designers, manufacturers, and suppliers, and lucky you, it is happening in just a few of weeks.
Papers that have gone through a double-blind peer review will be presented to attendees and then published in SCOPUS, a digitized library of articles, journals, and research documents. What does that even mean? Well, it shows that for the gear industry, the FTM is the only conference globally that allows the research to go through rigorous quality checks without bias. And, as far as getting published in SCOPUS, it means the work done by the authors will continue to live on in one of the most prestigious libraries for research and you guessed it … innovation.
About the FTM content and SCOPUS
The content is carefully curated and ultimately selected by the independent Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board (CSAB), an international group of scientists and researchers with journal editor experience, who represent the major scientific disciplines.
Year round, the board members are responsible for reviewing all new titles that are suggested to Scopus, in addition to reviewing and ensuring that the quality of existing content is maintained.
This year’s presentations include everything from e-drives and metrology to case studies of manufacturing and high-ratio planetary gearboxes for next-generation robotics. Attendees will hear about research in the beginning stages all the way to tried-and-true methods that will help shape future technology in gearing. The sessions include:
• Session 1: Efficiency, Lubrication, Noise, and Vibration | October 17, 1-5 p.m.
• Session 2: Inspection and Analysis | October 18, 8 a.m.-noon.
• Session 3: Manufacturing | October 18, 1-5p.m.
• Session 4: Application, Design, and Rating | October 19, 8 a.m.-noon.
• Session 5: Testing and Failure | October 19, 1-5 p.m.
It isn’t enough to speak about innovation confined within the walls of your plant. To truly understand what is being done to further your industry, one must go to conferences like the FTM and hear it firsthand in the presentations, talk about it during the networking events, and create relationships with your peers that might lead to partnerships for the companies. We see our members survive (some of them more than 100 years old) because they learn every chance they get, and that is true innovation.
Join us October 17–19 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, Illinois, the hotel deadline is September 22.
