annover Messe 2014 provides a comprehensive overview of the most


recent application- and solution-orientated products and technologies. It takes place 7th until the 11th of April 2014. Register for your free ticket by visiting: http://www. hannovermesse.de/home?open=registerTicket &code=qmypd&dm_t=0,0,0,0,0 Hannover Messe 2014 will comprise seven


flagship fairs: Industrial Automation, Energy, MobiliTec, Digital Factory, Industrial Supply, IndustrialGreenTec, Research & Technology. Under the lead theme of Integrated


Industry – Next Steps Hannover Messe 2014 provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent application- and result-oriented products and technologies. In 2014 all the trade fairs under the Hannover Messe umbrella will focus on current key issues – for example, the networking of industrial processes across existing technological and corporate boundaries.


need to make their production processes as resource-efficient as possible. They need to be able to respond swiftly to changes in the market, while at the same time satisfying the growing demand for product individualisation and customisation,” said Dr Jochen Köckler, Member of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe – the organisers behind Hannover Messe. “The answer to these challenges has a name: Integrated Industry – a paradigm in which production processes are geared for maximum flexibility. Many technologies for implementing this paradigm have been developed over recent years. The next steps are about integrating these technologies into industrial production in such a way that they form a synchronised, harmonised and fully networked whole.” Making the transition from smart-factory


vision to Industry 4.0 reality requires a great deal of information sharing, discussion and coordination. One of the main challenges here is standardisation – ensuring software compatibility across all the components, machines and factories that are to be networked with each other. The aim of Integrated Industry is to


achieve adaptable production systems that

can respond immediately to accommodate fluctuations in global demand and highly specific customer requirements. These are intelligent systems in which all components – from workpieces to machines to transport systems – are connected to each other via a network and are able to communicate with each other autonomously. The workpieces are not passed from station to station along a rigidly configured production line. Instead, they autonomously activate the


necessary modular processing centres and independently initiate each required processing step. This enables maximum flexibility and efficiency in industrial production runs of all sizes – including single-lot production runs. About a quarter of all Hannover Messe


exhibitors are involved in some way or other in energy generation, transmission, distribution or storage. Be part of Hannover Messe 2014 and
