EXHIBITION PREVIEW


ENERGY A KEY FOCUS AT SOUTHERN MANUFACTURING & ELECTRONICS 2023


Returning to the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre this


February, visitors to Southern


Manufacturing & Electronics will find solutions to the use and conservation of energy…


R


unning from 7-9 February, Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2023 will once


again be held at the £35 million 20,000 square metre Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, home to the show since 2008. A large proportion of exhibitors have supported


the show since the beginning, with many regular participants are already signed up for 2023. So, the exhibitor list covers nearly every aspect of engineering – including mechanical, electronic, electromechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components; high-technology machine tools and production systems including those in the field of additive manufacturing; business and engineering software; workshop equipment; and a wide variety of subcontracting and consultancy services covering both of the show’s main disciplines. Having mechanical engineering and electronics


under one roof is an efficient way to address multiple sourcing requirements. Furthermore, there is no separation between the areas, allowing people to visit the different engineering disciplines unhindered. Technology Trails, which group together firms with expertise in similar areas, guide visitors around the event.


ENERGY EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS The manufacturing industry is beset not only by the damage caused by Covid-19 but by more recent challenges such as the impact of Brexit, supply chain disruption, soaring energy costs, skills shortages, and most recently the prospect of higher taxation. Solutions are emerging strongly as themes from exhibitors at next year’s show. The use and


conservation of energy is also a familiar theme. Advanced Chemical Etching, for example, will focus on how its expertise can help in the race for electrification and hydrogen fuel cell systems – so important in the development of energy management in existing and future electric


Relec Electronics will exhibit its range of AC/DC power supplies, display modules and electronic power supplies

vehicles. The scope of its activities spans safety critical components for aircraft and F1 cars, meshes and electronic connectors, battery interconnectors, fuel cell bi-polar plates and heat exchangers. Another exhibitor, Top Hex, has over 20 years’


experience designing and manufacturing custom electronic controls and displays for process machinery, laboratories, retail environments and consumer applications worldwide, energy saving being a prime goal. DMS Technologies specialises in the design and manufacture of battery systems for a wide range of applications, including in extreme temperatures and rugged environments, and will be displaying a new range of standard LiFePO4 batteries designed to reduce or eliminate the expense of testing in conventional lithium- ion battery applications. Jauch Quartz UK will be promoting its battery power supplies that it has been producing for mobile applications since 1974 at its headquarters in Villingen- Schwenningen, Germany and in its UK HQ in Frimley. Easby Electronics, a leading UK supplier and distributor of electronic components, will present a vast


range of products including custom batteries, power supplies,


semiconductors, displays, passive components, opto electronics, IoT devices and EV charging cables and accessories. Delta Impact is another a supplier of electric vehicle charging cables,


sockets and accessories as well as electronic components and PCBs. In addition, CamdenBoss, a manufacturer


of high quality custom fabricated enclosures in plastic and metal, includes bespoke EV charging enclosures in its product range. Relec Electronics, meanwhile, will exhibit


its range of AC/DC power supplies, display modules and electronic power supplies aimed at diverse applications including those in the rail instrumentation and medical sectors. Another exhibitor, Phoenix Dynamics, designs and manufactures high-performance cable assemblies including wire and cable harnesses, battery cables, power leads, RF cables, fibre-optic assemblies, and electro-mechanical assemblies such as control panels and distribution boxes. It, too, is heavily involved in supplying the specialist automotive and energy industries. LED lighting is key to reducing energy


consumption, and numerous exhibitors will stress their contributions to the technology. Cembre offers a range of LED products such as flashlights, lamps and portable spotlights; while Coilcraft produces high performance wire-wound inductors and transformers for LED lighting. Peli Products (UK) also offers LED lighting, and RJS Electronics’ range of switches are available with LED illumination and custom options.


REGISTER NOW Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2023, and the co-located AutoAero, a specialist theme within the exhibition devoted to aerospace and automotive engineering, opens from 7-9 February. There is a free bus service between Farnborough’s train stations directly to the show, but parking and admission to the exhibitions are free of charge.
