Automation specialist SMC Corporation is using its stand, number E140, at AUSPACK 2019 to showcase its range of energy-saving solutions.

SMC’s focus on delivering cost savings through energy savings is on display at the exhibition, the company says. According to Tony Randall, head of OEM and key accounts for SMC ANZ’s global account group, the company aims to help guide customers through the process of achieving their energy objectives.

“Your approach to energy savings should be holistic,” he said. “Real savings don’t come from replacing one component and based on this, you need a qualified team to walk this journey with you – from start to finish.”

Among the SMC energy-saving solutions on display at the stand will be the automatic leak detection system (ALDS); the AR regulator series; the SY valve manifold series; the AS-R pressure valve and A-SQ flow valve; the VMG blow gun series; and the ZK2 vacuum ejector series.

“We are excited to meet with visitors to the show and to discuss the potential that exists,” said Randall. “Thanks to our comprehensive product range, we have no doubt that we can match any requirement.”
