At Stand 702, Siemens Digital Industries is exhibiting its digital automation solutions, marking its inaugural time as an exhibitor at the UK’s largest dedicated exhibition for robotics and automated technologies.
Paul Billingsley, sales manager, Siemens, said about the company’s first time at the show: “We couldn’t say anything better, we couldn’t big it up enough. It was so good yesterday, we were all quite surprised as it’s the first time we have had a stand here.
“We have attended before but not exhibited. It’s all about the quality of the leads, not the amount. We just had all the right people coming to see us. It’s a target vertical for us and it really couldn’t have gone any better.”
Siemens have been displaying its solutions for digital automation and transformation.
On the stand (pictured to the left) is an RFID reader and a conveyor belt gate (CB gate).
As attendees are learning, the RFID system is capable of scanning all of the items packaged in a box as they move along the conveyor, with Siemens providing live demonstrations of how the tech works.
As these items pass through, the RFID system reads how many and what type of item is in the box.
Billingsley explained that this can help “cut down on costs in logistics warehouses”, with other solutions on show demonstrating the “analytics that can be pulled off of it for utilisation in terms whatever you’re working on or where you’re working from”.
He added that this “basically drags that data out so it can be into whichever system you’re using” to provide a real-time locating service, also known as track and trace, to track goods around the factory, throughout every process.
