Hot topics, top speakers Siemens, Pratt & Whitney, HS2, Rolls-Royce to speak at Subcon 2014


Siemens, Pratt & Whitney, HS2, Rolls-Royce to speak at Subcon

Top executives from some of the world’s leading companies – including Rolls-Royce, Siemens and Pratt & Whitney – will be giving keynote presentations at this year’s Subcon exhibition.

Following on from its very successful launch at last year’s show, this year’s conference, which is free to attend and organised by The Engineer, takes a close look at the hot topics, big ideas and disruptive trends that are driving the engineering and manufacturing agenda.
 
These include Industry 4.0, energy storage, advanced manufacturing techniques for jet engines, and the UK’s most ambitious, game-changing, and possibly most controversial infrastructure project, the HS2 high-speed rail line.

 

 


 
Subcon, which runs from 3 to 5 June at the NEC, Birmingham, is the UK’s national subcontracting, advanced manufacturing and technology exhibition.  It covers every aspect of outsourced manufacturing services and technology from design and prototyping, machining, moulding, 3D printing, fabrication, composites, electronic assembly and finishing to software, testing, inspection and metrology.
 
This year’s event is set to be the biggest yet, with over 300 subcontractors exhibiting and a stronger than ever participation by UK exhibitors.
 
The latest speaker to be confirmed at the conference is Dr Alan Epstein, Pratt & Whitney’s Vice-President, Technology & Environment, who will be flying in from the US to speak on new technologies for today’s cutting-edge jet engines.
 
Other keynotes include: Siemens’ Divisional Director for Industrial Automation, Brian Holliday, explaining the what, why and how of Industry 4.0; David Clarke, Chief Executive of the Energy Technologies Institute, looking at the options, challenges and prize of energy storage; Stephen Barr, Head of the Manufacturing Advisory Service on Reshore UK, and the Technical Director of HS2 Ltd, Andrew McNaughton.
 
To finish on a particularly high note, the final keynote speaker is Hamid Mughal, Head of Global Manufacturing at Rolls-Royce.
 
Alongside the keynotes, ‘show and tell sessions’ focus on inspiring projects, including the design of a new lifeboat, the application of high technology to performance sport and the recreation of a lost iconic aeroplane, the Bugatti 100p. More details will be released in the next few weeks.
