It will consist of three parts: 1.
Themed Applications: Five applications sectors will be featured in working demonstration systems focussed on the following: • PC integration and higher level systems • Process Control and Intelligent Field Devices • Machine Building • Switch Gear and Electrical Distribution • Machine Safety The plan is to show AS-i systems in action and it is expected that at least one real machine will be shown.
This part of the event will be non-company specific.
2.
Company Mini-Booths: All AS-i UK members will have the opportunity to display their latest AS-i products and solutions in a special exhibition area separated from the Themed Applications area, where informal discussions can take place on a company-specific basis.
3.
Seminar: A 4 hour seminar will be held between 10 and 3, repeated on both days.
This will comprise 20-minute presentations on the background and uses of each of the above themed applications areas, with a keynote speech from an industry leader.
AS-i UK Chairman Geoff Hodgkinson said: "We want to provide high added value to help visitors justify the day spent at ASi-tech.
The seminar presentations will be factual and to the point without commercial influence.
AS-i is no longer just about machine building.
It spans process control to machine safety and our aim is to build awareness of this.
Visitors can expect not only to see a good cross section of vendors and their products but they should also get an excellent view of AS-i in action.
We hope to stimulate ideas for wider use of AS-i technology throughout industry." Any company with an interest in AS-i products can participate in AS-i-tech 2002 simply by joining the UK Association.
After that the event is cost-free, except that participants are expected to support the event in every way possible, including providing products for the demonstrations systems, giving presentations or workshops and co-operating in marketing.
