One-third of the visitors came from foreign countries. Managing Director Falk Senger: "Automatica has reached a new dimension. It showed the future of production with deep insights into the possibilities of digitalization, human-robot collaboration and professional service robotics.”
Automation and robotics make Industry 4.0 possible in the first place. Tremendous energy could be felt at the trade fair thanks to the topic. Dr. Norbert Stein, Chairperson of VDMA Robotics + Automation, explained: “The quality of visitors at Automatica increased once again, and they were able to meet top-rate technology experts at the booths. The high level on both sides is unique."
Platform for Automation and IT
Automation and IT are going to join forces in the future. IT2Industry provides a unique platform for this. Ilse Aigner, Bavarian State Minister for Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology, got an impression of the situation during a visit to the trade fair and said: “We want to be a leading supplier and leading market for Industry 4.0. To this end, an international marketplace is critical to ascertain the current state of developments and establish international contacts at regular intervals. Consequently, I very much welcome the fact that Messe München provides the platform IT2Industry at Automatica and makes digitalization a focal topic with it. As a result, Automatica has great importance for the establishment of Germany as the leading Industry 4.0 nation."
Service Robotics on the Move
Service robotics recorded a big increase at Automatica and provided an insight into the everyday life of tomorrow: the care car in a hospital or the inventory robot for department stores, service robots as driverless transport systems or assistants for people.
Workplace 4.0 – People as the Focal Point
New production methods – new work processes: Work 4.0 is a main topic at Automatica. Man and machine will work together in the team in the future. People are the focus with their emotional intelligence, and robots assist them. Dr. Horst Neumann, founder of the Institute for the History and Future of Work, explained: "Work in factories is becoming increasingly more demanding. As a result, workers need to become more qualified. We need to work on this. A trade fair such as Automatica can open people’s eyes in this process and thus make a contribution."
Trade Fair Becoming Increasingly Important for Exhibitors and Visitors
Full halls and a great atmosphere: 96 percent of the exhibitors and 98 percent of visitors evaluate the trade fair as excellent, very good or good. Sixty-eight percent of visitors believe that the trade fair will increase in importance in the future. Eighty percent of exhibitors plan to come back.
Supporting Young People
Automatica is covering the needs of new target groups with the new event format "Makeathon”. More than 140 participants, most of them students working in teams from the fields of computer science, robotics and mechatronics, developed functional hardware prototypes within 24 hours. The prototypes ranged from an automated shoe for senior citizens to a complete digital factory as a production line and all the way to the production of power bars that are adapted to the individual needs of consumers, e.g., weight or activity level. The next Automatica will take place In Munich from June 19 to 22, 2018.

Robot automatically identifies weeds
Those who want a rich harvest need to drive back weeds so that the crops can grow better. In organic agriculture, herbicides are ruled out as they are considered toxic chemicals, and unwanted plants must be laboriously weeded out. This time-consuming work can soon be taken care of by robots. (more…)
