INSTRUMENTATION SCOTLAND & OFFSHORE SYSTEMS JOINS DATATEAM EXHIBITION PORTFOLIO
Datateam Business Media has acquired the sole rights and all assets of the Instrumentation Scotland & Offshore Systems show from Trident Exhibitions. The event, which will be taking
place on 31st August and 1st September, specifically addresses manufacturing in Scotland. All existing agreements and contracts remain in place and will be honoured by Datateam. Located at the heart of the
offshore industry in Aberdeen, Instrumentation Scotland & Offshore Systems brings together the many companies who supply products and services specific to the offshore sector in addition to more traditional industries representing processing, power generation, paper, distilling, water and waste, and
marine engineering in north-east Scotland. A free seminar programme with contributions from notable industry experts will take place alongside the exhibition. This news follows the very successful Sensors & Instrumentation exhibition which took place at the NEC, Birmingham, in September and enjoyed an increase in both exhibitor and visitor numbers, with exhibitor re-bookings currently 75% up year-on-year. The same event team will now be working on the Instrumentation Scotland & Offshore Systems exhibition, including Helen Thewlis, former managing director of Trident. Kathryn Ambrose, publishing and event director, said: “This acquisition is taking place at what I
believe is a very exciting time for the buoyant sensors, instrumentation and offshore sectors. I want to thank all the exhibitors for their continued custom and ongoing support for this unique event. I am also delighted that Helen Thewlis, formally of Trident Exhibitions, will be joining us to provide continuity and ensure a smooth transition. Helen is highly regarded within the industry and brings with her a wealth of exhibition experience. I’m confident that with her help and the excellent team we have in place, the 2016 event will be extremely successful.” Helen Thewlis added: “I am
delighted that this exhibition has been acquired by Datateam and very

ENERGY SAVINGS ADVISOR APP LAUNCHED
Emerson Industrial Automation has introduced the Energy Savings Advisor mobile app. Intuitive, precise and interactive, this can be used to estimate and quickly assess the value of potential savings on a motorised application by implementing the company’s high-efficiency drive solutions, whether its fixed or variable speed ranges, using either induction or permanent magnet synchronous technology.
The app runs simulations and compares the
existing equipment according to different custom scenarios in order to obtain the most relevant analysis and meet a need for energy optimisation. The potential savings for the application concerned are immediately calculated and displayed in the form of a graphic overview. A complete report showing a breakdown of the simulation and results obtained can then be sent by e-mail.
