All, There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society / CNEC Product Safety Engineering Society meeting next Wednesday, September 23rd, at the Holiday Inn, Boxborough MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. Matt Cusson, Siemens Application Engineer at Dittman & Greer, and Don Reid, General Manager at Spirol International Corporation, will present this month’s topic concerning the application of safety interlocks and switches and MSS products demonstration and discussion. If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as advanced notice or membership in NPSS or IEEE PSES is not required.
Matt Cusson is one of the Siemens Application Engineers on staff at Dittman & Greer and is also the SICK Optics factory-trained product specialist. He brings several years of prior experience in the safety products industry to his experience in assisting with a variety of automation and safety-related projects. Don Reid was Executive Vice President of Hendricks Engineering Inc in Indianapolis, IN prior to moving to CT to accept employment with Spirol International Corporation as General Manager of the Automation Products Division. Don has for the past 9 years been the Outside Sales Engineer covering E. CT, RI, and the Boston Metro area for Dittman & Greer, Inc. The presentation will include Siemen's "Safety the Movie", MSS products demonstration and discussion, plus the application of safety interlocks and switches. Time permitting, other demonstrations would include additional safety-related products, including personnel safety, security, and sensor intelligence. If you or anyone you know would like to give a product safety technical presentation, please contact Steve Brody by email at [email protected]. A technical presentation should be 45 to 60 minutes in duration and be related to product safety. Although the presentation may reference your company and it’s services, the presentation must not be simply company advertising. We would also appreciate any slides or handout materials be made available for posting on the NPSS web site. Releasing presentation materials for posting is desired but not a requirement to make a presentation.
