The industrial automation industry is constantly changing and expanding. CBT has numerous resources readily available for our customers to assist in the selection and application of automation products. We like to call these individuals, hi-tech specialists, as they are in-tune with the robust hi-tech automation products.

The MPI Group recently released its Internet of Things study, designed to evaluate the readiness of U.S. manufacturers to incorporate smart devices and embedded intelligence within their plants and processes. The study took a close look at executives' plans to improve business performance via the Internet of Things and for developing and selling products with embedded intelligence. It provides a glimpse at how manufacturers hope to leverage the Internet of Things and the challenges they face to get there.

The Industrial Internet of Things has enabled smart devices and machinery to send data to operators, maintenance workers, production personnel, and management. To optimize production, devices and machinery need to be connected correctly and securely. our Connected Enterprise Seminar will introduce you to the principals behind smart manufacturing and will uncover the tools you need to get started on your journey to the future.

Safety standards and regulations have dramatically evolved over the past several years. Do you understand the new requirements? Have you implemented new processes at your facility?

Last year I said that 2015 was a very busy year, and we had many wonderful accomplishments. Well, 2016 blew 2015 away! On March 31st we expanded CBT further North up the 1-75 corridor with our new location in Sidney, Ohio after our purchase of FDL Automation. The acquisition and our commitment to the best customer support have taken our workforce to 207 wonderful employees. Our sales teams now cover about 115 miles up I-75 spanning several additional cities, townships, and counties. In addition to the acquisition, we also completed the construction of our new headquarters building in Columbia Township. Our move from 737 West Sixth was accomplished on the weekend of July 23rd and 24th. It would not have been possible without the selfless efforts of the entire CBT team. 

Jim Stahl would like to extend his warmest holiday wishes and sincerest thank you's to our Customers, Suppliers, Associates and Friends of CBT.

2015 has been a big year for CBT, and I am very happy to share some wonderful news that transpired over the summer. On June 26, we announced that we had purchased the old Kmart property on Ridge Road in Columbia Township (just past the Norwood lateral, about nine miles from our Sixth Street location). We are building a new, 100,000 square foot facility to house our Cincinnati headquarters. We were quickly outgrowing our old facilities on West Sixth Street, so we began the search two years ago for a new location that would support our expanding product and service offerings for the next several decades.
