Innovative lighting concepts can make a decisive contribution to safety in both urban and rural areas. After all, illuminated streets and squares ensure that pedestrians or cyclists have good visibility and - just as important - are seen by others. Of course, road traffic also requires illumination that is adapted to the local situation and the respective traffic volume in order to enable drivers to arrive safely after dark.

Trade visitors at InnoTrans can look forward to more world innovations than ever before. Exhibitors at the thirteenth edition of the leading trade fair for transport technology in Berlin will present around 250 world innovations. Guided tours, the InnoTrans website and the World Innovation Guide provide an overview.

The largest industry gathering for transport and logistics was conceptually redesigned from the ground up, making it the most advanced platform for buses, commercial vehicles, logistics and transport. Various formats have been developed as part of IAA EXPERIENCES, which will place greater focus on trade visitors being able to see, try out and interact at IAA TRANSPORTATION.

Marketplaces like AMB 2022 always act as a barometer of industry sentiment and this is because technical details and commercial topics, such as faltering supply chains and delivery deadlines, will be discussed at the event in Stuttgart on 13–17 September 2022. The German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) provides a preliminary look at the market conditions and atmosphere.

At Automechanika, trade visitors can not only look forward to a wide range of new products and innovations from more than 2,800 exhibiting companies from some 70 countries, but also a supporting programme covering a wide variety of fields. Olaf Mußhoff, Director of Automechanika Frankfurt, explained: “Knowledge transfer and dialogue are extremely important in times of radical change. That is why we have decided to make this a focal point of this year’s trade fair with a whole series of presentations, panel discussions, trainings, live demonstrations and other events. From A like assistance systems to Z like zero emissions, Automechanika offers something for everyone.”

Defects often occur in the production of electrode foils for lithium-ion batteries due to nonhomogeneous coatings. Fraunhofer IPM and Fraunhofer ISIT, together with partners from the fields of industry and research, have developed an optical inline measurement system that determines the material composition of electrode foils quantitatively and with depth resolution – directly in the production line. The goal here is to manufacture electrodes for Li-ion batteries more cost-effectively and with a higher level of quality.

The metalworking industry will meet in Stuttgart from 13 to 17 September 2022 at AMB 2022, where business partners from all over Europe will gather once again. A very good reason to get to know the trade partners of more than 100 exhibitors from the VDMA “Precision Tools” and “Measuring and Testing Technology” trade associations.

In addition to the transformation towards a climate-neutral chemical industry and the perennial topic of digitalisation, the current global political situation also poses massive challenges for the process industry. Which technologies can be used to achieve defossilisation? How to secure and enhance regional and global supply chain networks? And what hurdles must be overcome in the digitalisation of the industry? ACHEMA 2022 offers answers and solutions to these and many more questions.

Forming presses are widely used as key elements of industrial production processes. From automotive technology to refrigerators, almost every product we encounter contains formed parts. The purchasing costs of these machines can reach double-digit millions, and it takes a great deal of time to set up and adjust precisely as needed. Given such a high level of investment, buyers expect machinery of this kind to keep running efficiently for a long time without any loss in quality. At the Hannover Messe, the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Internet Technologies CCIT will demonstrate how cognitive transformation of industrial processes can improve the efficiency of forming machines (Hall 5, Booth A06). The technology that serves as the basis for the exhibit is smartNOTCH – a cognitive T-slot.
