Gear up for industrial technology exhibition

OVER 100 exhibitors are lining up a diverse range of products and services geared around optimising productivity and assisting with future-proofing businesses for continued sustainability.

“As industrial technology rapidly evolves to keep pace with Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and the ongoing drive towards digitalisation, we find that there is an increasing need to provide organisations with information on technology trends. Together with the thousands of industrial technology products and services on display at KITE, the free-to-attend SAIMechE Seminar Theatre provides vital information to organisations seeking ways to increase their automation, upgrade their legacy systems, and plan for a more sustainable future,” said Charlene Hefer, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions — a division of Montgomery Group.

There are 11  topics covered in the SAIMechE Seminar Theatre, running daily.
