Hannover Messe 2015

The message behind "Integrated Industry – Join the Network!" is that the key challenges of the fourth industrial revolution – such as achieving universal standards for machine-to-machine communication, maintaining data security and finding new business models – can be mastered only through collective endeavor in networks.

The technological advances that can flow from networking will be made real and tangible at HANNOVER MESSE this coming April. Visitors to the fair will witness digitally networked production plants, ingenious new production processes, and next-generation industrial robots live in action. They will see collaborative robots with sensor systems so advanced that they can work right alongside their human counterparts without any safety barriers. And they will see IT-based automation solutions that will bring fundamental change to all in-factory organizational processes.

Smart grid technology has a vital twofold role to play in the energy transition. First of all, grids need to be intelligent if they are to be able to handle steadily growing in-feeds of renewably generated electricity in a way that is both efficient and commercially viable. And second, smart grid technology enables all energy networks – i.e. power, gas and heat networks – to ‘talk’ to one another so that capacity can be balanced and optimally deployed across the entire energy system. No country can achieve a truly sustainable, future-proof energy system unless it has in place IT-based networks that intelligently manage and integrate the entire energy supply chain, from generation and storage to transmission and right through to the end consumer.

Intelligent integration – from initial idea to final product

Modern automation systems form the core of this flagship fair. The term “industrial automation” may evoke images of hugely complex systems, but it actually refers to technologies that are designed to make industrial production processes simpler. Much simpler. At HANNOVER MESSE you will see how.

Innovation is certainly not in short supply in the industrial automation business. On the contrary, the flow of groundbreaking automation advances reaching the market is virtually endless. And it’s no coincidence that industrial automation technology lies at the heart of the integrated, digitally networked world of Industrie 4.0. The ongoing digital integration of the various parts of the production chain, from initial design idea to finished article, is continually opening up new opportunities for process optimization. Getting up to speed with all the latest solutions in the space of just a few days may seem like a daunting task, but the Industrial Automation show is specifically designed to help you do just that.

For instance, it includes oodles of live demonstrations, which are not only fascinating to watch but will also help you to quickly appreciate the many new things modern automation systems can achieve.

Fast-forward to the manufacturing world of the future

The digital integration of different manufacturing steps is a crucial aspect of tomorrow’s factories. But it’s just one of many. You can learn about them all and secure a decisive information edge at the Digital Factory fair. Digital Factory was specifically designed with busy industry professionals in mind. It is your fast lane to easily comprehensible information on everything you need to know to make your production processes more efficient and less resource intensive.
