Maintec reinforces role as UK maintenance hub

MAINTEC HAS cemented its position as the go-to event for maintenance professionals across the UK and internationally, bringing together engineers, maintenance managers, reliability experts, asset owners and technology innovators under one roof. The focus for the 2026 edition of the exhibition is on practical solutions that drive uptime, extend equipment lifecycles, reduce downtime and boost operational efficiency - making it highly relevant for industrial sectors from manufacturing and transport to facilities and infrastructure.

Showcasing the latest maintenance solutions

Exhibitors will be showcasing the latest technologies and services in predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, reliability engineering, enterprise asset management (EAM), computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS), AI-driven diagnostics, industrial IoT solutions and more. Attendees can connect with suppliers ranging from established global brands to innovative start-ups, all focused on improving maintenance outcomes and industrial performance.

Many of these will be offering live demonstrations of software and hardware solutions that help maintenance teams solve real-world challenges. This includes asset performance optimisation platforms, condition monitoring tools, automated workflow systems and predictive analytics, all designed to reduce unplanned stoppages and improve asset health.

Theatre sessions will allow industry leaders to share insights on emerging trends, best practices and case studies on maintenance strategy, digital transformation and reliability culture. These sessions are invaluable for professionals looking to stay at the forefront of modern maintenance engineering.

Expert sessions explore maintenance challenges

• Service Geeni - How to Protect Your Warehouse Automation Investment: This 20-minute session will share practical lessons from real-world automated warehouse environments, including the maintenance mistakes automation owners often don’t see, why small issues compound into repeat failures and downtime, and what needs to change to protect long-term automation performance.
• Klüber Lubrication GB - The Future of Lubrication: Condition‑Based and Automated: This session will examine how advancements in sensor technology and automated lubrication systems enable real-time condition-based lubrication which enhances asset reliability, supports predictive maintenance, lowers spend and strengths overall lubrication programme effectiveness.
• Touchstone - Bringing disconnected asset data into a modern, ready-to-use platform: Many organisations struggle with fragmented asset data spread across multiple CMMS/CAFM systems and spreadsheets, undermining data reliability and operational efficiency. The session will show proven strategies for migrating to a unified platform with minimal operational disruption; best practices for establishing a single source of truth for asset information; and explain how HxGN EAM enables data-driven maintenance decisions that improve safety and long-term asset performance.
• Murata Electronics Europe - Wireless Machine Condition Monitoring: High Frequency Edge Diagnostics for Early Faults: This session explores how high‑frequency, edge‑based diagnostics enable earlier fault detection without continuous data streaming. Drawing on real deployments, the session will share how feature‑based diagnostics using Murata’s wireless sensors deliver actionable insights across both high‑speed and true low‑RPM machines without adding operational complexity.
