Coiltech 2025: Key Insights from the Show Floor

Wednesday, July 16, 2025 - Jamie Runevitch

Coiltech 2025 offered a clear glimpse into the future of manufacturing, with engineers and innovators focused on cleaner, more efficient heating technologies. From basic questions about induction to advanced conversations about automation and sustainability, CEIA was at the center of it all.

We recently wrapped up Coiltech, and this year’s event sparked meaningful conversations with engineers, manufacturers, and innovators from across the globe. Here’s a look at the biggest questions and takeaways that came out of our time on the show floor.

1. The Top Questions Visitors Asked

Some questions came up again and again:

• How does induction work? 
• What materials can be heated by induction?
• How do you pronounce “CEIA”? (For the record, it’s “CHAY-uh.”)

These simple yet important questions opened the door to deeper conversations about how our induction heating systems are utilized to enhance precision, efficiency, and repeatability across a wide range of industries.

2. Trends That Stood Out

One of the standout themes this year was the push for modernization. Many attendees were looking to upgrade outdated heating methods with cleaner, more innovative alternatives. This generated significant interest in energy-efficient solutions, automation, and systems that can integrate seamlessly into advanced manufacturing environments.

3. Industries That Showed Interest

We had strong engagement from several core industries, including:

• Brazing
• Annealing
• Soldering

There was also growing interest from companies in highly technical sectors that are rethinking traditional processes.

4. Conversations About Energy and Regulations

 More than a few conversations centered on replacing older, energy-intensive processes, such as torch brazing and oven annealing.

Companies are looking to meet stricter energy regulations while reducing operational costs, and CEIA’s induction systems are a smart step in that direction.

5. Growth in Emerging Markets

We saw a notable rise in new inquiries from the EV, aerospace, and robotics sectors. These industries are prioritizing energy efficiency and sustainability, and many are adopting induction heating for advanced applications in clean and precise environments.

6. What Engineers and R&D Teams Want Next

Looking ahead, engineers and R&D teams made it clear that their priorities include:

• Advanced system capabilities
• Enhanced process control
• Integrated data collection and quality assurance tools
• Intuitive interfaces for easier operation

Whether it’s improving feedback monitoring during heating cycles or incorporating touchscreen controls for simplified use, CEIA’s systems are engineered to meet the future of manufacturing head-on.

Conclusion

Coiltech gave us more than just booth traffic; it provided us with insight into where the industry is headed. With growing interest in energy efficiency, digital integration, and new application areas, CEIA remains committed to supporting manufacturers with innovative and reliable solutions.
