The latest innovations in automation, control and instrumentation in food and beverage manufacturing

Do you want your food or beverage plant to take advantage of the latest innovations in automation, control and instrumentation? Do you know what these innovations are?

You can find the answer to these questions by attending the ACI Connect conference and expo, which is being held at Sydney Olympic Park on 12-13 August 2015.

One feature of the conference program will be Engineers Australia’s inaugural Future Tech Forum. Here, Engineers Australia technical experts will give presentations on emerging technology advances across the automation, control and instrumentation sector.

The Future Tech Forum will take place on day two of the event (13 August) and will feature sessions on Asset Management, Process Safety, Cyber Security, Big Data, M2M and Healthy Infrastructure. Engineers Australia Sydney General Manager Steve Finlay believes ACI Connect is an ideal platform for EA to present technical papers on the impact that technology is having on the engineering sector, with particular relevance to automation and control. “Engineers Australia is pleased to partner with ACI Connect at this important industry event and we trust that the Future Tech Forum will bring added value to all who attend the ACI Connect conference,” Finlay commented.

Westwick-Farrow Media MD Geoff Hird (organiser of ACI Connect) added, “We are excited to have Engineers Australia on the program as they are the pre-eminent end-user industry body and will bring credibility, experience and marketing impact to the second running of ACI Connect. With the recent dip in manufacturing and mining, it is also important at this time to focus on growth sectors like energy, infrastructure and water - all areas of opportunity for automation, control and instrumentation in NSW in the year ahead.”

The initial program for the Future Tech Forum is now available at www.ACIconnect.com.au. The event also features keynotes on IoT, niche manufacturing and asset management from IBM, Siemens and Aurecon, plus the industrial networks-focused Future Networks Forum on day one, and two days of tech minilab workshops presented by IDC Technologies.

ACI Connect is not only supported and endorsed by Engineers Australia, other leading bodies are also backing the event, including the Institute of Instrumentation, Control & Automation (IICA), IChemE, Profibus Australia, FieldComm Group, ODVA and EtherCat Technology Group.

Limited sponsor and exhibitor opportunities are still available and early-bird conference discounts are now open.
