EDITORIAL Networking begins in Hanover Dear Reader, Have you already packed your bag? If not then it is about time you did, as you really cannot afford to miss one of the highlights of the year for trade fairs in 2016: The HANNOVER MESSE trade fair. From the 25 to 29 April 2016 a show awaits you in Germany which really stands at the center of networked industry. For 5 days more than 5,000 exhibitors will exhibit their technologies for modern factories and energy systems, and for the future. And so you could say the HANNOVER MESSE trade fair is the global hotspot for what at the moment is easily the most talked-about subject in the world of mechanical engineering - Industry 4.0. If you ask Dr. Jochen Köckler, a member of the Board of Directors at Deutsche Messe AG and organizers of the event, he will reply: “In April all the developers of industrial digitization meet in Hanover: the German companies with core competencies in mechanical and electronic engineering, leading US software providers as well as businesses from Asia who for their part are pushing networking in industry.” And perhaps you can still recall the year 2013, when the term Industry 4.0 first shot through the media and the industry like a lightning bolt. Another reason for this was the HANNOVER MESSE. And so it played a large part in recent years in leading the way into the age of Industry 4.0 – starting with large lettering on exhibition stands at the trade fair, the first beginnings, right through to the first concrete realizations. And this industrial time of change will continue its journey at the event coming soon. One thing is certain for sure: New partnerships and business models will result from the event on the road to Industry 4.0. There are just too many individual and complex industrial subjects at the trade fair to count them all. However if you would like to have a small preview of what awaits you right now, or of what currently concerns mechanical engineering, then you should not pass up the following pages of the latest edition of MDA Technologies. Here you will find another large number of interesting articles which will further help you with your projects. But you can not only network in Hanover, but also with us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/mdatechnologies) and by Twitter (www.twitter. com/MDA_Technology) whilst you are on the road. You will always learn about the new developments in the world of drive technology and fluid power technology there.
