Test, measure and control

The free-to-attend show, organised by Datateam Business Media in partnership with Trident Exhibitions, combines the solid industry foundations cemented by previous shows Sensing Technology and Sensors and Systems creating a single, focused event.

The exhibition will showcase sensors, test and measurement equipment along with a variety of other types of instrumentation. Companies exhibiting will include: Dewetron; Infratec Infrared; Michell Instruments; Techni Measure; Optris; Rose Plastic; Kistler Instruments; National Instruments; Keller UK; PCB Piezotronics; Global Sensor Technology and FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology.

In addition to the exhibition there will be a range of seminars aimed at professionals from areas including: automation; calibration; cases and enclosures; condition monitoring; control systems; data acquisition; displays; environmental analysis; flow and level; gas detection; inspection and measurement; instrumentation, and thermal imaging. 

Andy Mangel, managing director at Bronkhorst, will be discussing the manufacturer’s new ultra flow coriolis meter, and papers are being submitted and discussed from National Instruments; Kistler Instruments; NPL; The Profibus Group and Techni Measure.

The National Physics Laboratory is endorsing the event. Pete Moores, business development manager, NPL Training, said: "The National Physical Laboratory is pleased to be exhibiting and presenting at Sensors & Instrumentation 2013. It is a great opportunity for us to meet and network with all the key players in this sector at one event. This year we will be providing a preview of our new Instrumentation and Sensors training course, so delegates can get a taster on the underpinning principles of measurement good practice, which can really make a difference within their workplaces, giving them the opportunity to generate a return on investment and improve measurement capability.” 

The Machine Building Show 

Located adjacent to Sensors & Instrumentation, The Machine Building Show 2013 is an automation showcase featuring products and systems for the machine builder and systems integrator. It also has a dedicated seminar programme and one of the speakers will be Steve Brambley, deputy director of GAMBICA, The Association for Instrumentation, Control, Automation & Laboratory Technology.

Brambley comments: "GAMBICA as a trade association is constantly looking for ways to collaborate with communities that use automation technology. The Machine Building Show is a fantastic opportunity to meet with stakeholders who design, build and operate machines, and to understand their needs. The many benefits of automation can be discussed and new ways to bring value can be raised. As a speaker at the event, my goal is that participants will go away having learned something new that will be useful in their work."
