Siemens Exiderdome Kicks-Off Multi-City Tour

With gas prices reaching record highs and a shaky economy, industry insiders say innovations in manufacturing are more critical then ever before. In fact, they believe manufacturing and automation can often help keep costs down while giving the economy a needed boost.

Three stories high and assembled from 55 containers, the Exiderdome is stocked top to bottom with the latest in manufacturing technology. Also called "the World of Automation", the 220 ton display opened at Chicago's Navy Pier and contains hi-tech multimedia shows and demonstrations on everything from micro automation, to sensors, to human machine interface.

Chicago is the first stop on the Exiderdome's nine city, ten month, U.S. tour. From there, the learning laboratory will be broken down and reassembled at each stop, wrapping up in Houston in May of next year.
