FEATURE EXHIBITION PREVIEW Sensors show returns to the NEC Over 80 exhibitors showcasing their latest solutions, an Engineering Workshop that
will enable visitors to get a hands-on experience, a comprehensive seminar programme, and an Innovation Showcase. These are just some of the attractions at the Sensors & Instrumentation show which takes place on 25-26 September at the NEC, Birmingham
T
his year, the Sensors & Instrumentation show will be taking
place in Hall 1 of the NEC from 25-26 September. The event is free to attend – simply visit the website to register. There will be over 80 exhibitors this
year including Binder, Bronkhorst, Charcroft Electronics, Dewesoft, Huba Control, Innovec Controls, Labfacility, TechniMeasure and Tcalibration. A wide variety of products will therefore
be on show. Churchill Controls, for example, will be launching Mega_Bridge, a new communications expansion module. This adds flexible and fully featured internet protocol (IP) connectivity to the well-established Mega_Link family of telemetry and control units. Shawcity will be showcasing City
Technology’s latest seven-year-life oxygen sensors and five-year-life carbon monoxide sensors, as well as introducing a new hydrogen sulfide sensor with a 15-month operating life. Mantracourt Electronics, the designer and manufacturer of instrumentation used with load cells, strain gauges, pressure sensors, torque transducers, flow sensors and temperature sensors, will be making its debut at the show. Visitors will be able to see the company’s latest product releases including its fast USB strain converter which delivers high speed, high resolution, data via USB into its powerful software; and its wireless telemetry system, which provides sensor manufacturers and integrators the complete flexibility to build their own sensor modules around it.
ATTRACTIONS 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. This will cover a vast array of
machinery ranging from the latest valves and flow meters to airbrators and vessels designed to optimise control. There will also be an Engineering
Workshop which will give trainees and apprentices the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest technology,

learn from the experts and experience practical demonstrations. Here, Jason Edwards from Trescal will be hosting the ‘Laser Tracker and Portable CMM Arm’ workshop; and Ian Seaton and Stuart Randall from Third Dimension will host workshops on ‘Non-contact Laser Measurement in Modern Metrology’. The Innovation Showcase, sponsored
by Bronkhorst, is returning for a fourth year running. Here, 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. There will also be a Formula 1 simulator.
Sponsored by Rheintacho UK, this gives visitors the opportunity to compete with colleagues for the fastest lap time.
SEMINAR PROGRAMME The ever popular CPD accredited seminar programme will see a host of prominent industry figures present on contemporary topics and issues, including: • Alison Mitchell - Sensor City: ‘The development of sensor technology’. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the buzzword of the 21st century. 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. From smart devices and 3D printing to AI and machine learning, the manufacturing industry has been transformed as we become increasingly engrossed in the digital world, or the ‘fourth industrial revolution.’ One big problem for emerging SMEs, however, is the lack of skills, technology, and high-end facilities needed to develop their innovative concepts into viable, market-ready solutions. Alison will address this in her seminar.
• Neil Hamilton –Myriad Group: Real world insight into what is driving
companies to connect their products to IoT platforms. He will also share his experience of how companies are doing this the smart way based on the mistakes learned by the early pioneers.
• Andrew Peaty – Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA): An overview of the Defence and Security Accelerator, including how people from industry and academia can get involved.
• Dr Jiri Polak – Innovative Sensor Technology (IST AG): ESA space sensors. IST AG is the only approved supplier of ESA-qualified thin film platinum temperature sensors for space applications. These sensors, also known as HIREL sensors, were subjected to very harsh and demanding tests to guarantee 100% operation. Dr Polak will explain how, over the past three years, IST AG has invested a lot of resources and know-how in the development of these sensors and into testing to achieve ESA qualification.
