MTConnect is a set of open, royalty-free standards intended to foster
greater interoperability between controls, devices and software applications by
publishing data over networks using the Internet Protocol. Since its
introduction in 2008 MTConnect has become the standard for manufacturing
connectivity. The manufacturing technology community commonly uses MTConnect to
connect the shop floor to monitoring applications and to integrate the shop
floor with the entire manufacturing enterprise.
The conference promotes both the benefits and implementation of
MTConnect, as well as showcasing commercially available products that utilize
the standard. Attendees who could benefit from this important event include end

participants, equipment suppliers, students, educators,software developers, distributors,
ISVs, integrators, and consultants.
