UK's largest
connected manufacturing exhibition full
Advanced
Engineering 2017 today (12 July 2017) announced that its brand
new Connected Manufacturing zone is full. The Connected Manufacturing
zone has already attracted leading names from the industry including
Siemens, Dassault Systèmes and Manufacturing Technologies
Association, who will be looking to meet and do business with
other industry individuals.
Also new for this year are: an expanded zone for start-ups sponsored
by Magna International; and a brand new co-locating show, Lab
Innovations, for laboratory manufacturers and suppliers.
Advanced Engineering 2017 are pleased to also announce a competition
to all exhibitors with prizes for those who bring the most visitors
to the 2017 show through registering using their trackable link.
The two exhibitors who bring the most visitors will win a free
6sqm stand in the 2018 show and a free full-page advert in the
2018 show guide.
Visitors will see cutting edge technology and service providers,
everything that is needed in today's connected manufacturing
industry, including: 3D printing; analytics; automation &
IT; autonomous vehicles; laser systems; cloud computing; predictive
maintenance; energy efficiency; robotics; human-machine interfaces…and
many more.
Industrial production is a key driver for innovation, productivity,
growth and job creation; with many of the industries catching
on to the importance of connected manufacturing, the new show
zone will help key players catalyse the business and technology
opportunities that exist between innovators, customers and suppliers.
Alison Willis, industrial divisional director at Easyfairs, said:
"This year, we have introduced the Connected Manufacturing
zone and it is the place to be to see the latest technological
developments surrounding industry 4.0. These are revolutionising
a raft of markets, from planes, trains and automobiles, through
to oil & gas; benefitting millions of people worldwide who
consume these products - which means practically everyone on
the planet!
"And this year with the introduction of the new zone, we
will welcome thousands of visitors and exhibitors whose businesses
are in connected manufacturing. Come along and see for yourself
the fantastic industry we have."
John Kirven, Proposition Consultant at Canon, added: "Canon
is proud to work with Easyfairs and exhibit at the Connected
Manufacturing Exhibition on November. We see a great opportunity
to connect with like-minded manufacturers who believe that innovation
can help achieve the benefits, and resolve the challenges that
4iR brings. The high quality of organisations visiting and exhibiting
will give Canon the best opportunity to meet with, and guide
the delivery of 4iR."
Stephen Ratcliffe, Head of Marketing UK & Eire, Rockwell
Automation UK, also added: "It is becoming increasingly
clear that today we are at an inflection point in how industrial
automation and information technology affects manufacturing;
the revolution widely known as Industry 4.0. Increasing productivity
is fundamentally based upon getting the most from the people,
data and machines of a manufacturing enterprise. Now, and ever
more so in the future, this requires companies to be better connected."
Organised by Easyfairs, the Connected Manufacturing Show, which
is one of five zones of Advanced Engineering 2017, takes place
on the 1-2 November at the NEC Birmingham. It is the UK's largest
annual gathering of advanced engineering professionals. It connects
the entire supply chain of the UK's advanced engineering industry
with R&D, design, test, production and procurement from large
and small companies, through to top tier industry players in
a two-day free to attend exhibition and high-level conference.
Now in its 9th year, the Advanced Engineering Show has record
breaking visitor numbers, bringing together over 700 firms, as
well as thousands of engineers, procurement managers and senior
decision makers from large and small companies - all looking
to source, specify and invest in the most up-to-date products
and explore the latest industry innovations.
Advanced Engineering 2017 includes four other co-located zones
under one roof: Aero Engineering, Composites Engineering, Automotive
Engineering and Performance Metals Engineering.
