Air-Tech 2018 Air-Tech is the main UK event for compressed air systems and related equipment. In addition to the show’s already well-established focus on compressors, dryers, vacuum pumps and allied equipment, Air-Tech 2018, staged in association with the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS), will feature a special exhibition section dedicated to combined air compressor/generators; an area that is gaining major traction within markets such as construction and agriculture. Air power is the second most widely used source of motive energy in the world, preceded only by electricity. Air power is also an enormous pan-European growth market. With this in mind, Air-Tech 2018 is dedicated to displaying equipment and services that represent the full array of solution offerings in this all-important marketplace. www.airtech-expo.com

Drives & Controls 2018 Since it was first held, more than two decades ago, the Drives & Controls Show has established itself as the leading UK event for motion engineering, power transmission and automation – the only exhibition dedicated to this vital sector of engineering and manufacturing. Every two years, over 350 of the leading suppliers of technologies such as variable speed drives, motors, robotics, sensors, machine vision, programmable controllers, pneumatics, mechanical power transmission equipment (including gearboxes, chains, belts, bearings, brakes, clutches and couplings) and test & measurement products, gather in Birmingham at the cluster of events that includes Drives & Controls to exhibit and demonstrate their latest developments. The show also attracts companies offering services such as machine safety engineering, training, repairs and maintenance. In 2018 a new show will be launched alongside Drives & Controls called Smart Industry Expo and featuring Industry 4.0. 2016 saw the launch of the Live Robotic Demo Area which proved highly successful and is set to double in size for 2018. The number of exhibitors grew substantially in 2016 and we are expecting a further increase in exhibitors and visitors in 2018.www.drives-expo.com

Fluid Power & Systems 2018 Fluid Power & Systems 2018 is the only exhibition in the UK that is 100 per cent focused on a comprehensive range of hydraulic and pneumatic equipment for the industrial and mobile markets, together with products that facilitate better electro-mechanical system design and application for improved process automation, control and monitoring. Fully supported by the British Fluid Power Association (BFPA) and Hydraulics & Pneumatics magazine, Fluid Power & Systems comprises the UK's largest gathering of world-class companies displaying and demonstrating the latest in mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment. Whatever your industrial or mobile sector – whether engineering, construction, offshore/marine, oil & gas, agriculture/farming, automotive, aerospace or one of a wide range of manufacturing disciplines – Fluid Power & Systems 2018 offers a convenient one-stop shop for all your fluid power and system requirements.www.fluidpowersystems-expo.com

Plant & Asset Management 2018 Plant & Asset Management Exhibition is dedicated to all aspects of the management and maintenance of physical assets. The exhibition provides an ideal opportunity for maintenance professionals to see first-hand the latest products and services all at one event. On offer will be everything from Smart Maintenance, condition monitoring systems, facilities management solutions and maintenance management software, together with training, contract maintenance and consultancy services. Visitors to the event will include chief, plant, works, maintenance, mechanical, electrical, production engineers and managers, plus professionals responsible for their company’s health & safety, training, logistics, facilities management, operations and factory management. Running concurrently with the exhibition will be a series of technical seminars covering a diverse range of topics that will be of interest and value to plant, maintenance and asset management professionals.www.maintenanceuk-expo.com

THE SHOW

Welcome to...Smart Industry Expo 2018Industry 4.0 and The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), presents huge opportunities for British manufacturing over the next

decade, and the inaugural Smart Industry Expo 2018 will leave visitors in no doubt that the 'smartening' process of industry

and manufacturing is going to change the face of global industry forever.

The idea relies on sophisticated software and data exchange. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and

cloud computing to optimise production. However in the UK there is an enormous vacuum, and many companies need

guidance in order to be prepare for this transformation.

Smart Industry Expo 2018 is the ideal opportunity for visitors seeking to learn about components to prepare for this

smart era as well as being able to discuss a wide range of issues from components to Predictive Maintenance 4.0,

Logistics 4.0, and smart grid technologies.

Other areas covered include: components for IT-based automation solutions that will bring fundamental change to all in-

factory processes, IT security, as well as smart technologies that manage and coordinate power, gas and heat networks so

that capacity can be balanced and optimally deployed across the entire energy system – integrated energy, plus much more.

The event will cover all sectors of industry from industrial automation and energy to predictive maintenance, supply, power

transmission & control and R&D.

Running alongside will be a comprehensive three-day seminar programme where key industry leaders will explore the various

strategies and opportunities that can help UK manufacturers transform to a smart era. Topics covered will range from: smart

components, automation components and artificial intelligence, to cloud computing, cyber security, Logistics 4.0, Predictive

Maintenance 4.0, real time monitoring & controls, sensor technology and software, plus much more.

Leading associations who are actively involved in promoting smart technologies and strategies will also be supporting the

2018 inaugural event, and participating in the seminar programme.

Co-located show offers unique opportunitiesSmart Industry Expo 2018 is co-located with DFA Media’s

highly successful and well-established events including:

Drives & Controls, Air-Tech, Fluid Power & Systems,

Plant & Asset Management. Visitors will also have the opportunity

to explore MACH 2018 and What’s New in Electronics,

which take place alongside DFA’s co-location of events.
