ROBOTICS AWARD 2018: And the winner is …

The ultimate winner of this world-renowned ROBOTICS AWARD 2018 will remain secret until the second day of Hannover Messe – the world's leading trade fair for industrial technology. The big moment will come at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 24 April.

The winners of last year’s ROBOTICS AWARD. The awards ceremony 2018 will take place at the Automation Forum in Hall 14.
An automation company from Stuttgart, the Fraunhofer IFAM institute and a Wuppertal-based company have been selected as the final three contestants for the ROBOTICS AWARD 2018.

This is the eighth time that Hannover Messe and the Robotation Academy are teaming up to award this prize for applied robot solutions. Bernd Althusmann, Minister of Economic Affairs, Employment, Transport and Digitalization for the German state of Lower Saxony, is serving as the official patron of the ROBOTICS AWARD, which carries a prize purse of €10,000. The awards ceremony will take place at the Automation Forum in Hall 14.

Companies and institutions from Germany and abroad were invited to submit their solutions, with the object consisting of products, projects or technological innovations which have made an innovative contribution to robot-based solutions in the field of industrial automation, mobile robots or autonomous systems. The jury's assessment of all of these systems resulted in the selection of the following three solutions that have been nominated for the prize to be presented at Hannover Messe:

1) A Stuttgart-based automation provider made the final cut on the basis of its programming platform which allows users to intuitively program and flexibly operate industrial robots from a wide range of manufacturers. A cloud and graphics-based interface can be used from anywhere.

2) The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research (IFAM) impressed the jury with its system for milling large components that can be used to upgrade standard industrial robots to become mobile CNC milling robots.

3) A Wuppertal-based company specializing in grinding and polishing technology, won over the jury with its process chain of robot cells used as a polishing system for pots and pans. A total of 33 highly interactive, networked robot systems are capable of executing fully automated workpiece and tool changes. Intelligent cell interaction and distribution of the individual production steps make the systems enormously flexible, particularly for efficiently producing small batch sizes.
