MTA2017 – Asia’s premier manufacturing technology industry event returning from 4 to 7 April at the Singapore Expo, will kick off a host of new features – The Optics & Photonics Innovation Hub, The Semiconductor Innovation Centre, and a 3D Printing Seminar at the 3D Printing @ MTA feature area.
The new feature areas will highlight advanced technologies for high-value manufacturing. In each specialised zone, trade attendees will be exposed to the latest cutting-edge products and services in the field of optics and photonics, advanced semiconductor manufacturing and additive manufacturing technologies and solutions. A key spotlight of MTA, the Capabilities Hub has consistently drawn high levels of interest from high-value sectors such as MedTech, Complex Equipment, Oil & Gas and Medical Technology. Organised in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech), the showcase will provide local parts and components manufacturers with an intrinsic platform to show their competencies, and bridge the gap between professionals from across diverse industry sectors.
Held alongside MTA2017 once again, MetrologyAsia2017 is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge metrology and inspection equipment and spotlighting companies specialising in high-end test and measurement apparatuses and systems. Attendees will learn about the latest in metrology solutions from the top technology providers around the world.
“As manufacturing continues to evolve and value creation has become an integral component of the change process, many traditional manufacturing businesses in the Asian region need to become agile and embrace change. The new features, along with the recurring Capabilities Hub, are designed to serve industry players who are looking to leverage on technology and innovation to maintain their market leadership and stay ahead of the change curve,” says Mr. William Lim, Project Director of Machinery Events at Singapore Exhibition Services, organiser of MTA2017.
Lim adds, “More importantly, the newfound knowledge and skillsets will ensure that companies and their workforce will be well-positioned for growth opportunities in the new manufacturing era.”
With knowledge sharing being a vital element, the conferences at MTA2017 are specially formulated to enhance industry professionals’ insights in new manufacturing concepts. The Smart Manufacturing Asia conference will have industry thought leaders and experts delving into pertinent topics and offering practical tips in digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0, robotics and industrial automation.
The Precision Engineering Centre of Innovation (PE COI) Annual Conference and the International Conference on Optical and Photonic Engineering (icOPEN), both having seen highly successful editions, will return to debate on latest trends and issues facing the precision engineering industry.
