Maintec 2022, an event for anyone responsible for maintenance engineering, is back from 8-9 June at Birmingham’s NEC.

Taking place as part of Manufacturing & Engineering Week 2022 alongside three other key engineering events – Manufacturing Expo, Engineering Expo and Design Expo, this is a must-attend event for anyone in the sector who is looking to source the latest maintenance technologies to secure the efficiency and reliability of their business for the future.

Maintec has been a leading event in the maintenance engineering calendar for over 40 years, showcasing the very best in innovation within the sector and sharing practical solutions to common maintenance engineering dilemmas.

Sponsored by ABB Motion, Nanoprecise and SafetyKleen, Maintec 2022 will feature a wide range of maintenance-focused products and services from over 100 exhibitors, making it the idea place to source equipment and solutions for any engineering business. A comprehensive CPD accredited conference and workshop programme will see industry leaders imparting knowledge and advice that will benefit maintenance engineers in their role.

Enjoy a full line-up of informative talks from some of the most respected figures in the maintenance engineering sector. Hear their perspectives on a range of current issues facing the sector and learn about real life case studies that show their solutions in action. Seminar topics include:

• The current state of the maintenance industry after COVID-19
• Making savings on compressed air
• Smart asset management
• Understanding the supply chain

In addition, there will be a live, interactive hacking session where top experts in cyber security will demonstrate some of the risks posed by hackers to maintenance engineering.

“Many manufacturers are only at the beginning of their cyber-security journey and are looking to gain a better understanding of the current threats and source the products and services to increase cyber resilience,” said Jos Diamond, event manager for Manufacturing and Engineering Week organisers, Nineteen Group. “The live hacking session will help to highlight some of the threats posed, including potential areas of vulnerability, and will explain the best ways to counter them using the latest techniques and technologies.”

Rapid advances in maintenance technologies, and the changes wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, are transforming the possibilities for maintenance in industrial plants. To help you keep up, and explain what’s possible, Maintec will feature a comprehensive range of workshops covering a broad range of topics aimed at helping you build a robust maintenance engineering strategy for the future. Examples of topics covered over the two days include How to Avoid Predictive Maintenance Project Failure, Autonomous Maintenance Integrated in Ultimo EAM, Bio-Remediating Parts Washers and Vibration Analysis 4.0.

Over 100 exhibitors will be in attendance at Maintec 2022, showcasing their latest products, services and solutions to help keep workplaces running efficiently and smoothly. Exhibitors include Smaks Ltd, Nanoprecise Sci Corp, Petro-Canada Lubricants, Boccard UK and Boneham.

An innovation zone will bring together a range of companies offering ground-breaking solutions to help tackle some of the key issues facing UK manufacturing businesses and help them to transform their production and maintenance. Sponsored by Arrow, a global provider of technology products, services and solutions, the Innovation Zone will showcase live demonstrations of the UK’s most cutting-edge products, helping visitors discover the latest technologies that are shaping the future of British industry.

Highlights include an AI car and the world’s first VTOL bi-plane, displayed by Coventry University’s Formula Student and UAS Challenge Teams, in association with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, plus an Aston Martin Formula 1 racing car simulator which uses cloud ERP from software vendor IFS.

With the involvement of global leaders in manufacturing and engineering, Maintec 2022 is a great place to connect with like-minded maintenance engineering professionals. Key opportunities for networking will include a drinks reception on day one of the event with all delegates invited to attend.

A key ingredient in the creation of both Maintec and Manufacturing & Engineering Week has been the involvement of an Advisory Board of UK experts, bringing together experience from across industry, trade associations, professional bodies, government and academia to help shape a programme of radically new events.
