SENSORS & INSTRUMENTATION SHOW PREVIEW Sensors & Instrumentation 2018
Sensors & Instrumentation returns to Hall 1 of the NEC Birmingham on 25 and 26 September 2018. Visitors can register online to get their free badge, allowing them to skip the queues and get straight into the action. Sensors & Instrumentation is also operating a one-ticket policy with co-located events What’s New In Electronics (Live), PPMA Show and TCT Show, meaning visitors will have access to all the events with just one badge
Covering a vast array of machinery, ranging from the latest valves and flow meters to airbrators and vessels designed to optimise control, the FLC Zone is targeted at anyone involved in this essential field.
ENGINEERING WORKSHOP A dedicated Engineering Workshop will give trainees and apprentices the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest technology, learn from the experts and experience practical demonstrations from companies. Jason Edwards, Trescal, will be hosting the
THE BEST TECHNOLOGY A vast range of products and technology will be on display at the event from over 80 market- leading suppliers including Binder, Bronkhorst, Charcroft Electronics, Dewesoft, Huba Control, Innovec Controls, Labfacility, TechniMeasure and many more. Churchill Controls, a company that will be
exhibiting at this year’s event, will be launching its new communications expansion module called Mega_Bridge, Shawcity will be showcasing City Technology’s latest seven-year- life oxygen sensors and five-year-life carbon monoxide sensors, and Mantracourt Electronics will make its debut at the show. As well as providing a one-stop shop for all
test, measurement and control requirements, Sensors & Instrumentation 2018 will give visitors the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge via two new feature areas: the Flow Level Control Zone and the Engineering Workshops.
FLOW LEVEL CONTROL ZONE The Flow Level Control Zone (FLC Zone) is a new feature area for the 2018 event. Providing a platform for the latest technologies in the flow, level and control sector, this niche area will showcase a range of products and solutions.
‘Laser Tracker and Portable CMM Arm’ workshop. Trescal’s engineers can provide the expertise and support for data acquisition of large products including assemblies, fixtures, products and test fixtures. Capturing precise measurements, utilising portable and non- contact metrology equipment and demonstrating metrological traceability to national standards. Attendees to this workshop can learn about turn-key metrology engineering, non-contact measurement, metrological traceability, reverse engineering, jig assembly and recertification, and general inspection. Ian Seaton and Stuart Randall, Third
Dimension, will host workshops on ‘Non-contact Laser Measurement in Modern Metrology’. Metrology, once seen as a wasteful extravagance is now becoming seen as integral to increasing quality, decreasing production time and reducing costs. Modern production is always demanding faster, easier to use methods of measuring, traditional contact methods are time consuming and prone to operator bias. Looking at specific applications from automobile manufacture and aerostructure construction to wind turbine fabrication, the workshop will explore the advantages of this handheld laser measurement technology and describe how the same handheld applications can be migrated to robot-based solutions doing away with operator bias entirely.
SEMINAR PROGRAMME The ever popular CPD accredited seminar programme will see a host of prominent industry figures: Alison Mitchell, of Sensor City, will present a seminar on ‘The development of sensor technology,’ The Internet of Things (IoT) is the buzzword of the 21st century and offering masses of opportunity to SMEs and enterprises alike, innovative businesses need to embrace IoT to reap the benefits and reduce the risk of getting left behind. Myriad Group’s Neil Hamilton returns to the event this year to
provide real world insight into what is driving companies to connect their products to IoT platforms and to share his experience of how companies are doing this the smart way based on mistakes learned by the early pioneers. Andrew Peaty, the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), will give an overview of the Defence and Security Accelerator, including how people from industry and academia can get involved. Also, Dr Jiri Polak, of Innovative Sensor Technology (IST), will discuss ESA space sensors. These sensors, also known as HIREL sensors, were subjected to very harsh and demanding tests to guarantee 100 per cent operation. Dr Polak will explain how IST has invested a lot of resources and know-how in the development of these sensors and into testing to achieve ESA qualification.
INNOVATION SHOWCASE The ever popular Innovation Showcase, sponsored by Bronkhorst, is returning for a fourth year running. Located at a key destination point within the hall, exhibitors will be able to display their products and technologies, providing visitors with a snapshot of what they can expect to see as they explore the aisles of the show.
FORMULA 1 SIMULATOR Sponsored by Rheintacho UK, the Formula 1 simulation car gives you the opportunity to compete with your colleagues for the fastest lap time. The simulator attracts many visitors and it provides a fantastic opportunity for networking.
