CeMAT

CeMAT 2016 – The focus will be automation and digitalization TRADE FAIR CEMAT 2016 The lead theme for CeMAT 2016 is “Smart Supply Chain Solutions”. That means, the foremost trade show for intralogistics and supply chain management – which runs from 31 May to 3 June in Hanover, Germany – will highlight the pivotal role of logistics in today’s increasingly digitized and integrated industrial value chains. C eMAT is where many of the solutions that will shape the future of intralogistics are first presented to a worldwide audience. In this year the focus will be automation and digitalization. “The impact of Industry 4.0 technologies on logistics will be the overarching theme at the upcoming CeMAT. Soon, all parts containers, racks, materials handling and transport systems and even the materials themselves will be intelligent. This will greatly increase the flexibility of logistics processes and companies’ ability to control and monitor them. Competitiveness in the logistics industry ultimately comes down to speed, precision, flexibility and availability. Digitalization will boost logistics companies’ performance across all of these critical success factors,” said Dr. Andreas Gruchow (Image 01), member of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe, during the CeMAT Preview in Hanover. Solid growth projected for intralogistics technology The intralogistics industry is on a steady growth trajectory. Last year, manufacturers of intralogistics solutions in Germany alone produced 20.1 billion euros worth of equipment – up three percent on the previous year. Germany’s VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association forecasts similar growth for the current year. “These sorts of growth figures are underpinned by the positive development of Europe’s Common Market. The positive performance of some target industries around the world has also been instrumental in keeping manufacturers’ order books full. E-commerce and the automotive industry are key examples of this,” explained the association’s President, Sascha Schmel (Image 02). f+h Intralogistics 2/2016
