This week, Yverdon-les-Bains will host the 4th MECATRONIC Connection edition. The convention will bring together 150 international companies in the form of B to B meetings, conferences and visits of sites. The Mechatronics, as the combination of electronics, mechanics, automatism and embedded software, is actually a fast-growing market and concerns more and more industries in their technological evolution.

Thanks to a specialized industry in products with high added value and concentration of businesses and technology centers highly trained, Yverdon-les-Bains and the Canton de Vaud are considered as the clearing house in the field of mechatronics, ideally situated on the borders of France, Italy, Austria and Germany.

Tabrasco connects this melting pot of technologies with the world of international sports governance, another core area in the region. The current development of the World Archery Heart Monitor is a perfect example of mechatronics serving sports.

The Tabrasco case will be presented at the MECATRONIC Connection Conference, on Tuesday afternoon (29 November 2011, 3.30 pm).
