Good morning! This week's Machinery Minutes podcast rounds up new equipment from Arburg and Wittmann, and a look at whether microgrids can help solve your energy worries.

Also on the equipment beat, ABB has a new controller and Motan has updated two models of its Gravicolor feeders. With the acquisition of Senix Corp., BinMaster is adding ultrasonic sensors to its lineup.

Our colleagues at IndustryWeek took a look at how the U.S. presidential choice may play out for manufacturers.

Finally, our survey on your equipment investment plans for 2025 is ending soon. Won't you give us a few minutes of your time to help us focus our coverage?
