Classical technologies with huge potential – EMO symposium

On 21 September, at the EMO Hannover, the "Production for Tomorrow" symposium will be taking a look at numerous innovations in the fields of classical technologies. The VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) is in conjunction with the WGP (German Academic Society for Production Engineering) organising the symposium.

WGP’s researchers will at the “Production for Tomorrow” symposium be showcasing innovations in the field of classical metalworking.
The look at the future of production has changed considerably over recent years, a development substantially attributable to digitalisation and networking of machines and lines within the context of Industry 4.0. But the classical technologies, too, possess immense inherent potentials, as the numerous remarkable developments of recent years go to show. "For example: in terms of metrology, drive technology and also laser beam sources, the quality of machine tools is steadily rising," reports Eberhard Abele, President of the WGP. "So classical technologies will guarantee the reputation of German machines in regard to precision, availability, efficiency and productivity into the future as well."

The symposium begins with a keynote presentation from Professor Abele, who heads the Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) at Darmstadt University of Applied Science. He will be outlining the production technology of 2025 from the WGP’s viewpoint. Representatives of seven prestigious WGP institutes will then report on their results from government-sponsored research projects focusing primarily on machine design and ultra-efficient manufacturing technologies.

Startups@EMO Hannover

This years‘ EMO will once again feature a large Startup Area on Stand E34 in Hall 9, presented jointly by the organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) and the VDMA Startup Machine. "Startups bring a breath of fresh air to well-established industrial sectors because they often function as pioneers and trendsetters in their field of business," says Stephanie Simon, who is responsible for the project at the VDW. That's why established exhibitors are often more than interested in talking to young companies, she points out. "The EMO Startup Area currently features nearly 60 companies that are looking to break into the production technology market and appeal to its users," adds Juliane Salten of the VDMA. Their primarily aim is to raise their profile and set up networks with customers and investors. (more…)
