But the long-term goal of the show is to promote the use of advanced technology.
It is only by employing the most cutting edge technology that the UK manufacturing industry can regain its competitive advantage.
Ultimately, this is the only real way we can escape the recession." The Drives and Controls Exhibition will be held from June 3 to 5 in hall nine at the NEC in Birmingham.
The biggest industrial show of its type in the UK, it will cover a floor area of 10,000m2.
