The AS-interface UK Trade Association is to hold a mini-trade fair dedicated to AS-interface networking technology in March 2002, featuring themed applications demonstrators, company mini-booths and a seminar designed to introduce the length and breadth of latest AS-i solutions Said AS-i UK Chairman Geoff Hodgkinson: "Members at our recent AGM expressed their frustration at the demise of so many UK automation shows

They badly want to demonstrate the breathtaking new scope available from latest AS-i development in process and factory applications and concluded that a dedicated event was needed.

So, ASi-tech 2002 was born.

There was a chorus of support for one venue - the Hannover International Hotel at Hinckley Island - where UK fieldbus events began in 1997 and so we are delighted to invite the industry to join us there on March 5th and 6th next year to see all the latest AS-i networking developments in action." Market surveys now being undertaken quarterly by AS-i members in UK indicate that 2000 AS-i networks were installed here last year, having a market value in excess of ?2million.

Worldwide over 2.5 million AS-i devices are installed.

"AS-i in UK has passed from 'try-out' to full maturity," said Hodgkinson, "and yet, like so much about automation in UK, there is still reluctance to invest in new technologies.

We want to show how easy AS-i networks are to engineer, install and use, also that the power and capabilities of AS-i have been massively extended into areas such as machine safety systems and process control.

It is now so much more than an 'intelligent wiring system' and we aim to demonstrate that at 'ASi-tech 2002'." ASi-tech 2002 will feature all AS-i UK member companies and be completely free to visitors.

Member companies can participate in ASi-tech 2002 free of charge.

Companies with an interest in AS-i products are invited to join the UK Association and take part in ASi-tech 2002.
