Matelec 2014 opens its doors with energy efficiency as a pillar

Of the 28 al 31 October, Madrid Fair hosts the 17 Matelec edition, a room in which solutions and services aimed at the control and management of energy efficiency are being exhibited and revolves around five themes: electrical installation, Smart buildings and cities, automation, energy management, and lighting and lighting.

The International Exhibition of Solutions for the Electrical and Electronic Industry, Matelec 2014 has opened its doors at the Madrid Fair (IFEMA) and until friday 31 October will host this event that is celebrated under the motto 'The right place, at the right time' and that involves a reorientation to adapt to the needs of the exhibitor.

The show is committed to promoting the diverse profiles of professional visitors and an increasingly international geographical area of ​​influence., as well as its commercial orientation towards the reform and rehabilitation market, which opens new opportunities in the tertiary sector, residential and industrial, pivoting with distribution and installation companies.

In its seventeenth edition, Matelec welcomes a total of 550 companies with representation of 80 countries, which reflects its orientation towards international promotion to attract visitors from various origins and the promotion of the Spain brand and national companies.. The contest has the institutional support and support of the main professional groups..

The Show is an opportunity to learn about all the technology, solutions and systems for efficient energy control and management, also including on this occasion the hospitality industry, the residential environment, retail e industrial.

All new developments are aimed at achieving a more sustainable and efficient use of energy resources., Therefore, measurement systems are becoming more and more important., control and management of facilities and their performance. From products as basic as an LED bulb to the most sophisticated management platforms, the sector reaffirms its commitment to energy savings and efficiency.

“Matelec helps demand and supply meet in an integral way, live, between people, interacting commercially, technologically..., and provoke these relationships between professionals that do not exist through any other means or channels.. Since the prescription, going through distribution, installers and integrators, to professional end users, are called to enjoy Matelec, “the sectoral meeting point par excellence in the Iberian Peninsula and its entire area of ​​international influence”, comments Raúl Calleja, director of the Hall.

Five application areas

In Matelec 2014 Technological solutions and services are being exhibited for the efficient control and management of electrical energy around the five sectors that make up its structure.: Electrical Installation, Smart Buildings and Cities, Automation, Industrial Control and Electronics, Electrical Energy Management, and Lighting and Lighting (Lightec).

Solutions aimed at the automation and control of industrial processes, as well as other electronic devices, They make up a space where the visitor can find components for electronic modules, sensors, programmable automata, motion detectors, power and energy loggers, measurement and control instrumentation, remote control and remote control solutions, differential protection devices, power and energy analyzers, wireless connection solutions and gateways, rack cabinets, wall cabinets, wiring solutions, thermal imaging cameras…

The space dedicated to electrical energy management includes all the solutions and products related to generation, distribution and storage of electrical energy. Here you will find the equipment, systems and solutions that help to have quality energy at the points of consumption, characterized by their correct management and by promoting their maximum use.

Lightec is an environment that constitutes a fair in itself. Under this scenario, the latest advances in efficient lighting are being shown.. In this way, They are exhibiting the most innovative for urban lighting, roads and public spaces, architectural, industrial, commercial, decorative, as well as the tertiary and residential sector. This framework includes luminaires, reflectors and optics that take advantage of and optimize the power of the lamps, in addition to other types of solutions such as IP68 anti-condensation electrical connectors, regulators or dimmers, luminous flux stabilizers, proximity detectors, etc.

The telecommunications sector and companies that manufacture and integrate home automation systems, immotics and urbotics, inter alia, shows in this space its proposals regarding the digital home, It is also the meeting point for telecommunications operators, content servers, AA PP, prescribers, ICT companies, and system installers and integrators. The objective is to bring the possibilities and advantages offered by new technologies applied to this field to the end user..

It also brings together solutions for smart grids, as electronic counters and meters for remote management, measurement and testing equipment, multifunction panels, as well as the latest news from companies that focus their activity on the development of systems for the use of renewable resources.

The area of ​​technologies and components for electrical installation includes both traditional material (industrial and domestic switchgear, cables, mechanisms…) such as new solutions that facilitate the work of the electrical installer.

Workshops and seminars

In addition to this exhibition area, Matelec 2014 offers a program of conferences and activities aimed at training and updating professional knowledge.
