Technology Exposed 2012 is the UK’s
premier showcase for custom installers
and resellers. Now in its third year, it
is a fantastic opportunity to see the
latest innovations from the biggest
brands across the print, imaging,
barcode, scanning, audio visual, audio,
consumer electronics and security
markets.
Because there is no trade pricing on
show, you can bring your customers along
so that they, too, can see the future of
different technologies.
Print resellers can look forward to
some exciting product launches, notably
Samsung’s new range of A4 and A3 colour
MFPs, and a number of new solutions, as
Midwich Business Manager Jonathon Francis
explains:
“For this year’s show, the Midwich print
division has worked harder than ever with
manufacturers to bring solutions to the
forefront of the show. Not only will we be
showcasing the latest print hardware, but
we will be demonstrating new software
solutions including PaperCut’s cost-cutting
print accounting and management software
and Scanshare’s latest solution to convert
paper documents into searchable, digital
files.
“There will also be lots of innovative
mobile print solutions at the show that will
allow you to see mobile print and mobile
scanning via some new and exciting apps.”
The focus on solutions reflects one of the
major themes of Technology Exposed 2012,
which this year features three specially
designed solutions areas where visitors can
see different technologies working together
in ‘real-life’ scenarios.
These include zones for:
Healthcare
, which brings together
prescription and label printing; barcode and
scanning technology; video conferencing for
diagnostics; digital signage and displays; as
well as access control and security;
Leisure
, which includes a pub scene
with EPOS till solutions from Casio, audio
products and projection solutions; an
outdoor leisure area with waterproof screen;
and a cinema foyer integrating large format
displays fed by media players. A range of
security equipment will also be incorporated
including ZyXEL switching and a range of
Bosch cameras.
Command and Control
. The size and
scale of this display is not to be missed! A
fully working command and control room
featuring a broad selection of integrated
technologies: furniture from Intech; a 180
degree curved projection screen from
AV Stumfl; the Panasonic edge blended
and warped projection solution; Bosch’s
Praesideo digital public address and
emergency sound system; Dexon’s video wall
processor plus a range of security products
from Samsung, Bosch, Flir, Dedicated Micros
and Panasonic.
UK first showings
In addition, there will be a range of new
hardware products including Samsung’s
new MFPs and hybrid displays; Panasonic’s
interactive solutions and first ever lampless
projector; Atlona’s Linkcast wireless HD
distribution solution; Evoko’s touch-screen
room booking system; the new Dexon 4000
series video wall controller; the Avaya Flare
Experience communication application; and
B-Tech’s new ‘pop-out’ videowall mounting
solution.

“From the outset, interest in Technology
Exposed was unprecedented,” explains
Stephen Fenby, managing director of the
Midwich group. “The diverse range of
vendors and the interest of the visitors who
attend prove that our industry needs this
event. In addition to a substantial sales
team, we will have directors, business
management, credit, marketing and IT
teams on site to answer customer questions.
Customers can also discover how we can
help their businesses grow with our services
such as credit facilities, data feeds, customer
credit intelligence and marketing support.
“This year we would particularly
encourage our customers to bring along
their end-users in order to see products
and solutions first hand. For resellers and
their customers, no other show in the UK
brings together so many manufacturers and
technologies under one roof.”
