H&P reports. Smart Manufacturing Week 2025 With a diverse range of exhibitions, including Smart Factory Expo, Design & Engineering Expo, Maintec, and Drives & Controls, Smart Manufacturing Week covers every facet of modern manufacturing and engineering. In addition, the Air-Tech and Fluid Power & Systems zones, integrated within Drives & Controls, will be of particular interest to Hydraulics & Pneumatics readers, showcasing developments in fluid power and automation technologies. Boasting more than 450 exhibitors and 200 speakers Smart Manufacturing Week offers an unmissable opportunity to explore the latest technology, network with industry leaders and gain insights into how these are revolutionising manufacturing processes worldwide. Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech Located within Drives & Controls, the Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech zones will showcase interesting new technologies, products and innovations. Exhibitors in these sectors are set to showcase products that enhance precision, reliability, and system flexibility. Technologies, such as compressors, high-precision sensors and hydraulic fittings will be featured prominently. These products are not just improving productivity but also helping to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards. Returning as a gold partner, Teseo will once again highlight its expertise in modular aluminium piping for compressed air and fluid power distribution. Last year, the Italian manufacturer impressed visitors with its precision-engineered systems, designed to improve efficiency and ergonomics across industrial applications. With a strong global presence and a reputation for highquality, certified solutions, Teseo remains a key name in smart fluid power infrastructure. The focus on sustainability, one of the five key pillars of Smart Manufacturing Week, is particularly evident as professionals in hydraulics and pneumatics seek solutions that minimise energy consumption and reduce environmental impact. With the growing push for greener manufacturing and engineering practices, Air-Tech and Fluid Power & Systems are playing a key role in helping businesses navigate this shift. These zones will present valuable insights into how new technologies are driving efficiency while reducing the impact of industrial processes. Other shows at Smart Manufacturing Week There are an abundance of other activities that also take place as part of Smart Manufacturing Week. Outside of the zones, the wider Drives & Controls show will have much to offer including a comprehensive showcase of the latest developments in automation, robotics, and motion control—technologies that are fundamental to the evolution of modern manufacturing and engineering. The Smart Factory Expo is a key feature of Smart Manufacturing Week 2025, providing visitors with the opportunity to discover the latest smart manufacturing technologies.
