Reliability & maintenance on show

The show attracts thousands of engineering visitors from across multiple industries including; energy, manufacturing, automotive, hazardous environments, aerospace, utilities, oil & gas, food & drink, rail and ports & marine. This is the second edition of Maintec since its acquisition by Western Business Exhibitions, who in 2017, delivered the most successful event in the shows’ recent history delivering a 62% increase in visitor numbers and saw attendance of engineering teams from 15 of the UK’s top 20 manufacturing sites.

Many of the UK’s engineering associations and institutions have endorsed the new-look Maintec event and will be in attendance. Leading organisations including the British Compressed Air Society, the only UK technical trade association open to manufacturers, distributors and end users of compressors, vacuum pumps, pneumatic tools and allied products, who are joined by the Society of Operations Engineers, the professional engineering membership organisation promoting career development in road transport, plant engineering, or engineer surveying, and the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), the trade body for the UK’s safety industry.

Of particular interest in the Maintec Reliability Theatre will be the session on 'The role of artificial intelligence in future maintenance strategies', delivered by Daniel Dunn, hydraulic product specialist, Bosch Rexroth, in which he will look at how digitalisation is being applied across industrial sectors at a rapid pace, providing far greater visibility of the performance and condition of key operational assets.

Tim Else, event director, Maintec comments: “When we acquired Maintec in 2016, we made a promise to ensure Maintec remained pertinent to the UK’s maintenance and reliability engineers. We are incredibly proud of the quality of the 2018 programme and pleased to be able to host keynote speakers and leading engineering suppliers on the show floor. We know that they bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the show and make the event a must-attend for all UK maintenance, reliability and asset managers.”
