Hannover Messe 2019: Driving industrial transformation

by

Make digital transformation tangible – that was what organizers of the Hannover Messe 2019 promised. And, as the five-day event comes to a close, they announced a positive result. 

Artificial intelligence in industry and robotics, the potential of the new 5G mobile communications standard for industrial applications, lightweight design, and the future of work in a time of increasing digitalization were this year’s most important topics at the world’s leading tradeshow for industrial technology.

“Hannover Messe 2019 showed that it is the world’s most important platform for all technologies related to industrial transformation,” said Dr Jochen Köckler, chairman of Deutsche Messe. “More than 215,000 visitors used Hannover Messe to invest in new technologies and prepare their businesses for the future.  [Read more…] about Hannover Messe 2019: Driving industrial transformation

Hannover Messe highlights smart factory technologies and artificial intelligence

by

The world’s leading industrial technology event, Hannover Messe, is this year highlighting smart factory technologies and artificial intelligence. 

The organizers of the show have decided on the theme of “Industrial Intelligence”, which probably encapsulates the trends perfectly.

However, its always going to be difficult to summarise what is going on such a large trade fair, let alone distill it into two words.  [Read more…] about Hannover Messe highlights smart factory technologies and artificial intelligence

Industry 4.0 meets artificial intelligence in Saxony

by

Authorities in the German region of Saxony-Anhalt are investing heavily in developing technologies in which Industry 4.0 meets artificial intelligence and will be showcasing them at this year’s Hannover Messe

“Integrated Industry – Industrial Intelligence”, the digital networking of man and machine in the age of artificial intelligence – this is the topic of the world’s largest industrial exhibition this year, the Hannover Messe.

From 1 to 5 April 2019, more than 6,500 exhibitors from 70 countries will present all the relevant technologies along the industrial added value chain and show how the industry is positioning itself in times of Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence, and what a highly automated material flow can contribute.  [Read more…] about Industry 4.0 meets artificial intelligence in Saxony

Hannover Messe to showcase Industry 4.0, AI and 5G this year

by

Hannover Messe this year aims to show visitors the path ahead to tomorrow’s factories with in-depth coverage of Industry 4.0 technologies, artificial intelligence, 5G, lightweight construction and the future of work.

Sporting a significantly enlarged conference program, it will also be a major dialogue hub for forward thinkers from industry and government.

The organising company of the world’s leading trade fair for industrial technology says the event is heading into its 2019 opening day in “very strong form”. Over five days, from 1 to 5 April, it will feature 6,500 companies from 75 nations.  [Read more…] about Hannover Messe to showcase Industry 4.0, AI and 5G this year

German Bionic to present its first robot exoskeleton for industrial IoT

by

Robotics specialist German Bionic is to present the first connected robot exoskeleton for use with the industrial internet of things, at the Hannover Messe industrial technology show.

The German Bionic IO cloud platform connects the third generation of the Cray X exoskeleton with all common enterprise solutions and networked manufacturing systems, enabling complete integration into “smart factory” and Industry 4.0 environments.

Besides cloud services such as wireless software updates – over the air – and predictive maintenance, German Bionic IO facilitates the continuous optimization of the intelligent control system through machine learning and lays the data-scientific foundation for the next development stages of bionics.  [Read more…] about German Bionic to present its first robot exoskeleton for industrial IoT

Hannover Messe conference to provide digital training for textile industry

by

Due to their great versatility, fiber-based materials make up an estimated 10 percent of all materials currently on the market.

But turning fiber-based materials into technical textiles is subject to high-quality standards and strong cost pressures.

Help is provided in the form of sensors, digital assistance systems, and connected production.  [Read more…] about Hannover Messe conference to provide digital training for textile industry

From collaborative robots to colleague robots: Harting to showcase ‘industrial intelligence with instinct’ at Hannover Messe

by

Previously responsible for the rough, collaborative robots – or “cobots” – will take on more and more activities in the future, side by side with humans, says Harting, one of the leading industrial automation companies in the world.

In cooperation with customers and partners, Harting will showcase various scenarios and technologies “with a fine hand” at the Hannover Messe event.

As part of one demonstration, a robotic cell in which a Kuka collaborative robot writes “For Luke from Papa” on a little yellow box.  [Read more…] about From collaborative robots to colleague robots: Harting to showcase ‘industrial intelligence with instinct’ at Hannover Messe

Collaborative robot maker Kassow Robots to make its Hannover Messe premiere

by

Collaborative robot manufacturer Kassow Robots will make its first appearance at the Hannover Messe event this year.

The technology trade fair takes place from 1 to 5 April 2019. It will be the first chance to visit the company’s own booth since Kassow’s market launch at Automatica in Munich last summer.

The Danish start-up will be attending Hannover Fair together with Project Automation & Engineering. The partner from Kranenburg, Germany, will showcase an automated banding application.  [Read more…] about Collaborative robot maker Kassow Robots to make its Hannover Messe premiere

Autonomous space robots to debut at Hannover Messe 2019

by

Today, robots in space are mostly either passive observers or controlled by humans from Earth. Soon they will have to operate independently and over long periods of time under extreme conditions.

In order to meet the high demands on the systems, the Robotics Innovation Centre of the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is developing innovative hardware and software concepts that it is testing on Earth as part of so-called analogue missions.

The scientists will be presenting their research as well as robotic space systems at the DFKI booth at the Hannover Messe from 01 to 05 April 2019.
