SAIMC: Tshwane branch

March 2018 SAIMC

The plan for the year is to focus on technical evenings, site visits (Aerosud is a possibility but still to be confirmed), publishing technical papers, hosting training and speaking at events. Of course this does not mean that there won’t be social events, the branch is firmly committed to these as well.

The new committee members are as follows:

1. Jurie Weidemann (Afrilek): Chair.

2. Petrus Klopper (Ai2SA): Secretary & Technology.

3. Nico Marneweck (Endress & Hauser): CPD & Higher Educational & Training Institutions.

4. Pregs Naidoo (Afrilek): Sales & Standards.

5. Archie Pitso (Levivi): Treasurer.

6. Mark Taylor (Dessoft): Marketing.

7. Muhammad Babamia (Ai2SA): Student Affairs.

Feedback on recent developments

Council: The main matter to report back on is that we have a strategic planning session scheduled for 9 March, ahead of the national AGM. The second point of note is that an Internet of Things portfolio has been discussed with the exact scope still to be defined. More information about leadership succession will also be shared at the AGM.

FIRST Robotics SA: It is understood that the MoU has been signed and the next step is to make payment to FRSA as per agreement. It is hoped that respective parties will continue to promote the programme. It will also be appreciated should any members wish to get involved in their private or professional capacities.

Events: So far there is interest from the following companies to present at the technical evenings: IFM, Metso, WIKA, Beckhoff, VEGA, Yokogawa, Swagelok and Proconics. Topics still to be finalised as well as the timing.

Witbank: Nothing to report other than that we are investigating the feasibility of starting the branch this year.
