We’d like to start by saying a big thank you to the organisers of Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026 for delivering another excellent event. As always, it was well attended and provided a great environment for meaningful conversations. Just as importantly, thank you to everyone who took the time to visit the CIM Software stand, speak with our team, and share insights into your manufacturing operations. Your engagement made the event thoroughly enjoyable for us.
It was a real pleasure to meet with both existing CIM Software customers and new faces across the manufacturing sector. Catching up with customers to hear how Cim50 and Cim200 are supporting their day-to-day operations, while also discussing future requirements, is always a highlight for us. These conversations help shape how we continue to develop and support our software, and Southern Manufacturing provided the perfect setting for them.
Interactive Barcode Scanning Challenge
One of the busiest parts of our stand was our interactive barcode scanning game, which gave visitors a hands-on feel for the speed and simplicity of barcode-driven manufacturing processes. It was great to see so many people getting involved and enjoying a bit of friendly competition across the show.
Congratulations to Elliot, our overall winner, who took first place and will be receiving a LEGO Ferrari F1 car as his prize. Our second- and third-place competitors also performed brilliantly and will be receiving prizes of their own. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the game such a success.
Live Software Demonstrations
Throughout the event, our team delivered live demonstrations of Cim50 and Cim200, showcasing how CIM Software supports manufacturers with production control, stock management, traceability, and real-time visibility across the shop floor. These demos sparked some excellent discussions around efficiency, scalability, and how manufacturers can better connect their operations with accounting and wider business systems.
Looking Ahead to Smart Manufacturing Week 2026
The momentum doesn’t stop here. We’re already looking forward to our next event, Smart Manufacturing Week in June 2026, where we’ll be continuing the conversation around connected manufacturing, cloud technology, and digital transformation. We’re excited to build on the interest shown at Southern Manufacturing and to share more about where CIM Software and manufacturing technology are heading next…Cim360.cloud!
