Conference Delivers Valuable Insights and Inspiration

On November 17, 2022, at the Coventry Doubletree by Hilton and ahead of the Association’s gala awards dinner held later that evening, the AEMT staged its Annual Conference, during which practical information, innovative ideas and valuable inspiration were shared with an engaged audience made up of companies who manufacture, distribute, install, service, maintain and repair industrial machinery technology such as electric motors, drives, pumps, fans, gearboxes, generators, transformers, switchgear and ancillary equipment.

Delegates were treated to a series of presentations and discussions on a range of topical issues, including how the correct use of data from connected motors can deliver better service decisions; how advances in additive manufacturing and 3D scanning have enabled repairs that were not possible using conventional methods; and how these new technologies are helping to advance the design of electric motors.

The topic of how SMEs can access the type of external support for technical innovation, process improvement and business development, which seems readily available to larger organisations, was also addressed, as was the process by which small businesses can gain greater success in their PR and social media endeavours.

The challenge of retaining and recruiting staff was also tackled with talks on how to inspire the engineers of tomorrow, how ex-military personnel can fill the engineering vacancies of today, and what HR practices can be undertaken to protect and retain staff during the cost-of-living crisis.

Between the presentation sessions, delegates were able to visit the range of display partners showcasing new technologies and solutions from across the sector, offering a fantastic opportunity to discuss the latest trends and developments and network with industry peers.

Copies of all the presentations delivered at the conference, including PDF downloads, can be found on the event’s dedicated website, and anyone interested in submitting a paper for consideration for the 2023 AEMT conference should contact andrew@touchwavemedia.co.uk
