Hannover, Germany. The gates will open on the next HANNOVER MESSE from 7 to 11 April 2014. At the world’s leading trade fair for industrial technology, leading companies in the fields of industrial automation, energy, industrial supply as well as research and technology present their products, solutions and services for meeting the challenges of industrial manufacturing to a global clientele. “Industries are facing major challenges worldwide,” says Marc Siemering, Senior Vice President of HANNOVER MESSE. “In every country, rising standards of living are boosting demand for better and more modern products and production processes. HANNOVER MESSE shows professionals from the global industry sectors the technologies that can help them meet their manufacturing challenges.”
India is an important country for HANNOVER MESSE -both in terms of visitors and exhibitors. “Since the fair attracts high potential b2b visitors from over 90 countries, HANNOVER MESSE is an ideal gate way for Indian companies to enter the European markets and the global markets’, Siemering points out.
“Integrated Industry – NEXT STEPS” announced as lead theme for HANNOVER MESSE 2014
The lead theme and official motto for HANNOVER MESSE 2014 has been chosen: “Integrated Industry – NEXT STEPS.” The choice reflects the fair’s continued focus on integration as a challenge of pivotal importance for the future of industry and maps out the next steps along the road to tomorrow’s intelligent, self-organizing factories. It also underscores HANNOVER MESSE’s status as the world’s leading trade fair for industrial technology.
“To stay competitive, industrial companies 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 individualization and customization,” said Marc Siemering, Senior Vice President 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 synchronized, harmonized and fully networked whole. And this is precisely the focus of HANNOVER MESSE 2014, namely the steps industry needs to take in order to get from its smart-factory vision to a real-life, integrated Industry 4.0 factory.”
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 centers 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. “Flexibility and efficiency – these are the keys to continued survival in a highly competitive international market. Therefore, the task now is to take the next steps – and, more important, the right steps – to ensure that industry realizes its vision of smart, flexible factories. HANNOVER MESSE will play a key role in this with its 2014 lead theme of ‘Integrated Industry – NEXT STEPS,'” said Siemering. Mr. Mehul Lanvers Shah, MD, Hannover Milano Fairs India Pvt Limited said, “Hannover Messe, the world’s leading industrial trade fair has very special relevance for the Indian engineering Industry. For more than 30 years Indian engineering companies have been participating at this event. Hannover Messe has played a crucial role in promoting Indian exports globally and has also been a platform for technology tie ups and business partnerships for many Indian companies.
Hannover Messe has proved to be the best launch pad for exports for large number of SMES in India. He further added “On the other hand India too is an important nation in the history of Hannover Messe. India has a unique honour of being a Partner Country at Hannover Messe twice. In 1984 and in 2006 where India demonstrated its engineering strength in a grand manner.”
Mr. Rajat Srivastava, Regional Director, EEPC India, stated “EEPC INDIA values Indo-German Economic Cooperation as the bilateral relations between two nations stretch back to the 16th century. EEPC INDIA has been participating in Hannover Messe for last 20 yrs and perhaps it is only show that EEPC has been consistent with. This year we are participating with approximately over 350 sq mtrs and next year EEPC will perhaps do an India Show with 5000 sq mtrs gross area. This has been decided on the popular demand from our members.”
