Putting on a display for services


New products exhibited at this year’s show by Midas Components include many TFT products such as letterbox style, mono products, optically bonded, IPS and all round view angles (ARVA) displays, as well as multi-touch capacitive and multi- touch resistive touchscreens, and various glass overlays. They complement the company’s


traditional VA technology LCDs, high-resolution graphic LCDs, RGB OLEDs, see-through OLED displays, mono alphanumeric LCDs, ultrasonic sensor ranges and EMC products. As well as design, manufacture,


and supply of display, sensor and EMC products, the company provides comprehensive technical assistance and designs. This is supported by a wide range of interface, interconnection, and driver board products, designed to work with a range of industry standard processors and controllers such as Raspberry-Pi, UC32, and Arduino. The UK-based engineering team

Foam alone creates a stand


To showcase its range, MSA Foams will exhibit in a stand made entirely from foam! Specialising in the design and manufacture of protective packaging for components or delicate equipment that requires safe transportation, the company, part of the Peli Group, uses the stand to showcase the various colours and foam densities available. The in-house design team


created the stand to demonstrate the product range, the design service and manufacturing capabilities. Separate panels interlock neatly using jigsaw tabs for the visible joints of the walls’ panels, showing the precision of the foam cutting and finish, in addition to strengthening the connection between the stand panels. To demonstrate the cutting


technology at the 31,000 sq ft facility, there is a complex water-jet cut map of the UK, showing the areas of the business development team and a laser engraved, precision-cut Aztec design. Even


scheduling to invoicing With over 25 years of sheet metal, engineering and fabrication experience, MIE Solutions has developed MIETrak Pro MRP (materials requirement planning) production control software. With hundreds of UK users, and thousands worldwide, it has become an industry- specific, complete MRP software solution that is affordable, easy to use, install and implement, says the company. Features and capabilities include


request for quotation, estimating, works order, purchasing, MRP, stock control, costing, production scheduling, planning and tracking software, reporting, shop floor data capture, delivery notes and


invoicing functionality. The support system guides


users as a business grows and develops, with access to a team for professional training and a support network, even after installation. The company continually


develops and enhances the software, learning from customers to continually adapting to the industry needs.
