WoTS 2026 trade show gadget announced: build your own calibrated EMI meter

The exhibition gadget for the World of Industry, Technology & Science 2026 (WoTS) has been selected: visitors can build their own calibrated EMI meter this year. The smart meter was conceived by engineering firm EVAbits from Groningen and is only available during WoTS, from September 22 to 25 at Jaarbeurs Utrecht.

Traditionally, the gadget is one of the biggest crowd-pullers at WoTS. Interested parties collect the various parts at the stands of participating exhibitors. They then assemble the components themselves into a fully functional measuring instrument.

How does the EMI meter work?
For many developers, EMI measurement is an indispensable part of the design process. The gadget makes it possible to measure the strength of electromagnetic radiation that can disrupt electronic devices in an accessible way.

The meter is compact, robust, and ready to use immediately. We calibrate the gadget to a specific standard. The EMI meter quickly provides a good indication of whether the calibrated standard is met.

Limited edition
The WoTS gadget is designed specifically for the trade fair every year and produced only once. For 2026, the production run is limited to 1,500 units. Visitors wishing to acquire the EMI meter would therefore be well advised to collect parts on the exhibition floor in good time.

You can find more information about the gadget at the website of WoTS.
