More than 80 delegates from a wide variety of industries attended a seminar day at the Thames Barrier, London, hosted recently by Bosch Rexroth. The theme of the day was the planning and design of hydraulic systems.
“I thought it was a brilliant day, all the subjects were what I was interested in.”
“I was really impressed with the quality of the presentations.”
“It was a very enjoyable and informative day, excellent organisation.”
“The event was an excellent forum to network with fellow professional engineers.”
This is just some of the feedback from the delegates that attended the event, which took place in early September at the Thames Barrier in East London. The annual event was the fourth held by Bosch Rexroth and it has grown from around 40 people in 2002 to the present attendance of over 80 engineering professionals.
Steve Smith, specialist sales manager, hydraulics in civil engineering and special technology said “The annual hydraulics seminar has developed from its inception where it mainly consisted of Bosch Rexroth people presenting to customers. Now we have presentations from a mix of customers, suppliers and ourselves to make the experience far more objective.”
The format of the day consisted of seven half-hour seminars including information on power unit design, filtration systems and sensors – all the integral parts of hydraulic system design and planning.
Held in the conference facility at the Thames Barrier Information Centre the event was not all hard work as during an extended lunch break Bosch Rexroth arranged for delegates to be given a free tour of the barrier itself including the machinery rooms.
Rather than rest on its laurels Bosch Rexroth intends to develop the event still further next year and to perhaps focus on the service and maintenance of hydraulic systems. The event will again be held in early September but Steve Smith says that the company are looking at staging it in a Midlands venue in order to make it accessible from all over the country and to include a celebratory speaker from the world of motor racing.
Summing up his thoughts on the 2006 event Steve Smith said “I was staggered by the variety of customers that attended. Every industry sector from the MOD to steelworks to offshore was represented. The event is so valuable because it gives people the chance to exchange ideas, plus it gives us a real insight into life on the other side of the fence.”
