Did You Miss the CES Show? See a Report on the Best Tech for MCAA Members

January 30, 2017

The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is probably the biggest gathering of new technology on the planet each year. For the last 50 years, attendees have gathered to see the latest gadgets and technology intended for consumer use. With the explosion of technology coming to the market in the last decade, we are seeing more technology that blurs the line between consumer and commercial use.

This year, the MCAA Technology Committee sent Britton Langdon, an MCAA member from Modern Piping in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to attend the show. After walking the 2.5 million square foot exhibit, visiting as many of the 38,000 exhibitors from 150 countries as he could, Britton prepared a report of the newest technology at CES that could be used by MCAA contractors.

The report gives the pros and cons of the most applicable technology from the exhibit. It includes the latest in augmented reality, drones, cameras, sensors, mapping devices and scanners.
