About the UK Motion Control Alliance

The UK Motion Control Alliance is currently an alliance between the BFPA, the BFPDA and BCAS. The Alliance has been conceived to provide greater strength and significant benefits for members of these organisations; including cross fertilisation of training initiatives, more influence over regulation, broader technical support and enhanced business networking opportunities. The Alliance will provide its members with a stronger, more consolidated voice in their respective industries, and the MCI Awards Programme serves to underpin these key objectives.
