Changes in store for NMW 2014
National Manufacturing Week (NMW) is being held at the Sydney Showground from 13-15 May 2014. With a revised floorplan giving more space to sectors and technologies that are driving industry growth, the event will incorporate 15 product zones and an open-access ‘Solutions Theatre’ for Health & Safety. There will be six new product zones focusing on the drivers of manufacturing innovation including: digital and additive manufacturing sectors, and machine tools - which will have everything from CNC machining centres to laser equipment on active display.
As well as the Ausplas exhibition and opportunities to connect directly with research providers at an R&D Hub, there will also be an engineering services product zone supported by Engineers Australia. The Automation & Robotics area will include total solutions and collaborative robotics, while Clean Tech (the former Sustainable Manufacturing Zone) will present a broader range of sustainable manufacturing technologies.
