AFRICA AUTOMATION FAIR 2017 Show Preview 1

It is with great excitement that we invite you to

register and attend this year’s biennial premier automa-

tion, control and information technology networking

event in Africa. Following the successful staging and

record-breaking exhibitor numbers as well as visitor

numbers at Africa Automation Fair 2015, the 2017

event will proudly open its doors again from Tuesday to

Thursday 6-8 June 2017 at the Ticketpro Dome in North

Riding, Johannesburg.

Now owned and organised by Reed Exhibitions – an

industry leader and globally the largest exhibition and

venue management company with a passion for deliver-

ing high-profile, customer-focused events in established

and emerging markets, generating billions in business

revenue. Trendsetters in the industry, Reed Exhibitions

is a company committed to creating market places for

business to help them grow and establish their presence

through trade exhibitions and conferences in growing

and developing markets, and pride themselves on their

commitment to corporate social investment and black

economic empowerment.

Africa Automation Fair 2017 has, as always, worked

closely with the IIG, SAIMC and Technews Publishing

to plan and execute a focused networking platform for

the automation and control industry, but will now also

benefit from all the resources, skills and expertise that

come with an organisation such as Reed Exhibitions,

implementing a number of new value-added initiatives

such as Match-Making, the Hosted Buyer Program,

the Reed Exhibitions International Sales Group, their

Focused Conference and Content Experts and not least

of all – more exposure to and support from relevant

government bodies across the African Continent.

In 2015, Africa Automation Fair increased its visitor

numbers by 74% compared to that of 2013! In 2017 it

will significantly increase this number again by having

focused on vital aspects in its carefully planned and

powerful marketing strategy, including targeting more

senior buyers from South Africa and the rest of Africa,

ensuring extended visitor dwell time at the trade fair,

providing more educational and training content, and

drawing even more exhibitors showcasing the topmost

industrial control and automation technologies.

The scope of attending Africa Automation

Fair 2017 has evolved with the inclusion of the

connected Industries Conference where discussions

around The Fourth Industrial Revolution will take place

FAIR 2017PREVIEW is produced by

Technews Publishing, publisher of

at the Blue Wing Conference Centre on 6 and 7 June

2017, adjacent to the Ticketpro Dome – an exciting

outcome of the digital revolution that is changing the

way we live and work. Many organisations already focus

on how to benefit from it, but extracting maximum value

requires a big data approach. AAF 2017 will be the plat-

form where industrial automation and this digital revolu-

tion converge; and where operations technology and

information technology blend together to become more

intelligent. Delegates and visitors can also look forward

to visiting any of the three Automation Theatres at Africa

Automation Fair to benefit from over 100 cutting-edge

presentations on emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution

Technologies throughout the day, and stand a chance to

win a three-day all-expenses paid trip to Cape Town for

two people. In addition, we have incorporated a new and

exciting, dedicated pavilion showcasing Pollution and

Waste Technology – please be sure to pay this area a visit

to get an update on the latest environmental solutions

available for your manufacturing processes.

With so much to offer all under one roof over three

focused days, your company cannot afford not to par-

ticipate at Africa Automation Fair 2017. We look forward

to welcoming you to the largest, most comprehensive

showcase of industrial control technologies of its kind in

the Southern Hemisphere.

Due to the overwhelming interest we received from exhibitors we have not been able to include all the informa-tion in the printed version of the Preview due to space constraints. We have ensured that all the exhibitors who sent submissions appear at least once in the printed version, and the remaining information is hosted in a full online set of PDFs that can be viewed at: http://instrumentation.co.za/aafpreview2017

Yokogawa’s new TDLS8000 tunable diode laser spectrometer houses all of the industry’s lead-ing features in one robust device. It allows true, interference-free analysis under changing pressure, temperature and background. The platform design is for in situ measurements, which negates the need for sample extraction and conditioning. The non-contacting sensor allows for a variety of process types, including corrosive, abrasive and condensing. The first generation platform has been proven in many applications for the measurement of O2, CO, CH4, NH3, H2O and many more NIR absorbing gases. This second generation platform has improved reliability and ease of installation and maintenance, while still meeting or exceeding designed applica-tion demands. Visit Stands C29-C32 and D43 and D46 to find out more about the many features of
