Robots at the vanguard

The robotics industry has been booming in recent years, and this trend is set to continue in 2016 – both in the global marketplace and at Hannover Messe. The show is featuring many of the key players.

Robots are invading hall 17 at Hannover Messe 2016
This year’s official partner country, the United States of America, is also stepping up to make robots and autonomous systems a major highlight at the world’s most important trade fair for industrial technology. Hannover Messe’s strong focus on Industry 4.0 is also ensuring increased interest in the robotic systems instrumental in achieving the fourth industrial revolution.
“Their enormous flexibility makes robots a critical element of the Industry 4.0 automation equation,” says Arno Reich, who heads Hannover Messe’s Industrial Automation team and is thus also responsible for the fair’s robotics exhibits. “The boom in robotics exhibits we have been witnessing is closely linked with Hannover Messe’s increasing prominence as one of the world’s foremost Industry 4.0 platforms.”

Unlike other industrial technology trade fairs, Hannover Messe showcases robotics systems in the wider context of fully integrated factory automation solutions as featured at Industrial Automation. These solutions encompass a wide range of technologies from industrial robots, assembly lines, handling systems and industrial image processing systems through to mobile robots.

Wide range of applications and setups

At Hannover Messe, visitors are not just presented with standalone robotics systems; they are also given the opportunity to learn about the specific industrial applications these systems can be used for. And the fair features all types of robots, from the classic stationary industrial robots that get used on assembly lines to mobile robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It even covers industrial service robots, which are becoming increasingly essential in today’s integrated automation solutions.

Interesting live demonstrations

The Robotics, Automation & Vision Application Park for robot manufacturers, system vendors and image processing in Hall 17 likewise offers live demonstrations of the latest mobile robots and autonomous systems.

Robotics Award and Industrial Automation Forum

A rich program of events is providing lots of added value. One highlight is the presentation of the Robotics Award at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 26 April. Another is the Industrial Automation Forum, which will put the spotlight on human-robot collaboration on both Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning.
