EDITORIAL Creating new value with Industry 4.0 Dear readers, At the end of April it will be time once again – the 70 th time – for the largest competitive exhibition in the world to open its gates: The Hannover Messe. And there’s still more: This is where the age of networked industry begins. Fully developed technologies for Industry 4.0 meet the market. The trade fair will be advancing this development still further with a record number of specific sample applications. More than 500 trailblazing solutions for Industry 4.0 have already been announced by exhibitors: Robots as easy to operate as a smart phone. Machines that learn from errors. And at the center: humans. The Hannover Messe 2017 will show where to create new added value as we enter the digital era in factories. And this concentrated diversity of so many innovative technologies can be experienced only in Hannover: Industry 4.0, Digital Twin, Machine Learning, Predictive Maintenance, Smart Materials, Networked and Collaborative Robots – to name just a few. Drive and fluid power technology professionals will certainly get their money’s worth this year, as the most important trade fair in the world for MDA (Motion, Drive & Automation) is on board again. The expected 1200 manufacturers of drive and fluid power technology will be emphasizing efficiency, intelligence and quality. Their services are crucial in matters of machine quality. Mechatronic modules or CPS modules (Cyber-Physical System) are a key element in the exhibitor presentations. They are important enablers for efficient and intelligent production processes. In this way manufacturers are achieving seamless networking with the control and manufacturing level, thereby making an important contribution to the factory of the future with intelligent, self-optimizing and independent production processes. And let us not forget this year’s partner country: Poland will be presenting itself to international industry professionals at the Hannover Messe as an attractive partner in many different industries. About 150 Polish companies are expected. As you can see, this year’s event will not only attract 6500 exhibitors with more than 200,000 visitors, it will open up fresh new perspectives, point out the complete potential of digitization for added value and win new markets – very much in keeping with the motto “Integrated Industry - Creating Value.” – We took a peak behind the curtains and technologies for you. So leaf through our latest issue and let yourself be inspired. See you in Hanover! Dirk Schaar Editorial Director MOTION, DRIVES & AUTOMATION Editors-in-chief: Dipl.-Ing.
