Following the success of the inaugural Motor Driven Systems Conference held last November, the organisers and the five trade associations involved – including Gambica, Beama and BCAS – have decided to hold a follow-up event in Solihull on 7 and 8 November, 2012.

The programme will again stress the importance of adopting a systems approach to motor-driven apparatus to optimise energy efficiency. This year there will be a greater emphasis on case studies – real-life examples of how industry and commerce are saving money through efficient motor-driven systems.

The conference steering committee is calling for abstracts of papers on four key topics: regulatory affairs; systems engineering; product technology; and case studies. For more details, visit the conference Web site.
