The ifm Truck is touring the UK!

This June 2024, our unique, bright orange ifm truck is cruising across the UK, and it could be coming to a venue near you! This is a golden opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of innovation, as we make stops at both exhibitions and host exclusive events just for you.

Where You Can Find Us:

We're hitting the road at both Automation UK Exhibition in Coventry and the Hillhead Exhibition near Buxton. But that's not all – we're also hosting our very own special events at the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry.

Simply drop by to explore our truck on the dates listed below where our team of expert engineers will be happy to guide you through and provide hands-on demos of our cutting-edge innovations. Plus, don’t miss out on our FREE seminars conducted in the comfort of our trailer’s upper level - but remember, space is limited so be sure to register to secure your spot.

If your team is keen on a private seminar experience, please reach out to us at marketing.gb@ifm.com, and we'll do our utmost to accommodate your group.

Smart sensors and simple connectivity
Possibly the greatest leap forward in the reduction of costs in automation projects for some time. A short introduction into why you should consider moving over to smart IO-Link sensors in combination with rugged IP rated field mount industrial ethernet modules and PSU’s. Reduce panel size, reduce PLC costs, and get more useful process data from the same sensor.

13:00

We tried that, spent a fortune and no one onsite now understands the equipment!
Sounds familiar? You may already be saying it in your head as you read this… ifm will give a short introduction into determining, in real time, the status of your pumps, motors and gearboxes.
Most users only really need to know there has been a change in state it’s never been simpler with ifm’s range of vibration sensors that can easily be retro fitted to existing plant and provide 24/7 monitoring without touching the OEM machine, drilling a hole, or employing a team of experts.

15:00

Connecting You With Your Mobile Machine
In this short introduction we take a look at how ifm electronic is at forefront of digital transformation, offering a comprehensive range of hardware and software tools that can help you harness your machine data and keep you connected to your mobile machines at all times.

12:00

Not every automation project needs a PLC, HMI and a panel, does it?
ifm would like to introduce you to our extensive range of PLC capable HMIs and IP67 controllers that don’t need a panel, don’t require an ongoing software licence, and have onboard connectivity to most, if not all the main industrial ethernet protocols.
Perfect for small standalone machines or processes, addons to existing plant or if you simply want an HMI that will work in the harshest environments. Developed and proven on mobile plant and equipment – optimised for the industrial world.

14:00

Making Safety Simple For Mobile Machines
With the new machinery directive coming into effect in January 2027, we take a look at some of the main changes to the current regulation and how ifm can help you keep it simple, with safety certified  hardware and software solutions.
