Since ABB and AUCOTEC, among others, did not exhibit at the Hannover Messe this year, I thought it would be interesting to get a sense of the mood from some...

Deutsche Messe CEO Jochen Köckler at the close of this year's industrial trade fair: "Over the five days, the 4,000 exhibitors here met around 130,000 visitors from all over the world." Compared to last year's 75,000 people, that's at least almost double. But compared to the 200,000 visitors from before Corona, still meager. Quite a few halls...

Most of the vast amounts of data in manufacturing companies are difficult to use. It is stored in production machines, systems and devices or in sensors installed in them. Interfaces for IT or in the cloud were usually not planned for during their development. Now Siemens has announced that it will be offering solutions for precisely this purpose...

Industry is expected to deliver individualized products as quickly and cheaply as mass-produced goods. However, many companies do not have the one digital twin of their products that enables automation of handling across processes. They have a CAD model in design, a PDM model for reusability, production and maintenance, and perhaps a configurator...
