Factory-X lighthouse project at the Hannover Messe Eleven use cases from industrial practice, especially in the application area of factory equipment suppliers and operators, are the focus of our brand new Factory-X research project, which was launched in February and is funded by the BMWK. Visit the Plattform Industrie 4.0 stand (Hall 8, D26) and find out more about this exciting joint project, in which 47 partners are designing and prototyping various business applications with common and/or complementary basic functionalities. The basic condition: Interoperability and openness. The aim is to present sample implementations for various business applications that show that tasks can be optimized in the application case and can serve as the basis for a general industry standard. Factory-X, as a lighthouse project within the Manufacturing-X project family, explicitly addresses mechanical and plant engineering, an industry of great importance to the German economy. It is about a data space for sovereign participation in future-oriented technology for data sharing and collaborative data use.

Great VDI-Conference "Innovative Casting Technologies and E-mobility" beginning of the week. It was a great honor being the conference chairman of this exiting conference in Düsseldorf-Neuss. It was a strong exchange between all participants with forward looking discussions enbeded in a comfortable atmosphere by VDI and Meriott Hotel. Ofcause we all got a good deep dive in some future aspects of the casting industry. * GiGaCasting: While many still discuss if this will be a future technology, some companies clearly show, that this topic has arrived big time even in Germany resp. EU and this technology now takes off in evolution, being more competitive. As for the last 2 years a trend from Giga (9T t) to Mega (20T t) [....and Giant and Hyper 😀 ] now gets more and more divers discussed. The conference has clearly shown. Not just the casting machines are Giga, all prozesse around with acc. hardware needs to be Giga and Mega and Giant and Hyper and.... ....maybe we will see a consolidation at GiGa-Level before we fully hyperise. We will see.... * Sustainablity: Great insight into this topic. OEM and casting companies take this seriouse and moving forward on this. In the future clear KPIs would help a lot to have a comon understanding. Dr.-Ing Hagen Wegener (Principal @ FEV Consulting & see picture) has shown how cost, CO2, circular economy and LCA for structural castings can be analysed to give future directions. Sustainability was a big topic in presentations and discussions (...and made me happy. There is a way to save the world!). * Transformation of Casting Industry (with focus on E-Mobiliy): That was ofcause big time top! Example: If we loos value of ICE-Engines why not transfere into hightech casting for BEV-engines. Wow, amazing how BMW has taken on this challange and keeps production inhouse and in Germany!!!! Many other inspirations have been shown & discussed how to transform, when eMobily raises further... --> Thanks for all I met on this conference!

Under the topic “Technology trends in foundry technology”, the VDG Landesgruppe Bayern in cooperation with GTM - Gießereitechnik München and Fraunhofer IGCV invited to the Barbara Conference. How can #suppliers and #foundries work together to advance the #technology? Stefan Kneer was able to present Handtmann with his guest lecture “Think Big! Growing potential for large parts in die casting” as a driver of technology trends. It is technological progress that gives rise to new products and production techniques. Innovations are not only the basis for growth, but also a decisive factor for the competitiveness of companies. Thank you very much for the invitation. AND WHY BARBARA CONFERENCE 😉 December 4th is Barbara Day and St. Barbara is also the patron saint of foundries Greetings to all foundries and employees in the industry, to all professions that have St. Barbara as their patron saint, to all Barbaras in this world #handtmann #ideasforthefuture #megacasting #lightmetalcasting #innovations #automotive #emobility

The first half of 2024 it is gonna to be end, however there is one more very interresting event #PIAE_2024_VDI to join and follow new trend of Circular Economy in Automotive Industry. Congress concentrate the main partners at future Automotive trends (Tier 3,2,1 & OEM's). Let's verify it empirically between 19-20-th June 2024 in Mannheim. #ExcitingInnovations #CircularEconomy #AutomotiveCircularity, #RecyclingPolymers #Recyclingproducts #LeadershipCEAI #Sustainability #CloseTheCircuit PIAE - Kunststoffe im Automobilbau - VDI

EuroBLECH, the world’s largest showcase for #livemachinery and technical breakthroughs in the #sheetmetal working industry will begin its 27th edition in Hanover in a few hours and will be open till October 25, bringing together international professionals from the sector. Themed ‘The Power of Productivity’, this year’s event features nearly #1300exhibitors from #40nations on #160000sqmt gross space across #ninehalls. The four-day event will feature thousands of exhibits in #15technologysectors and is expected to attract an even greater number of visitors from #internationalmarkets. “Our exhibitor line-up is reflecting the current market situation. We see many European innovation drivers leading the sustainability shift amid intense global competition, with rising investments in Southeast Asia, India, and North America,” explains Evelyn Warwick, Event Director, EuroBLECH, on behalf of RX Global, a global leader in events and exhibitions. A special Panel Discussion on Wednesday, 3pm in Hall 26, will explore the crucial role of #automation in helping overcome skilled labor shortages. Featuring global leader TRUMPF, robotics specialist Teqram B.V., blind rivet expert GESIPA (SFS Group), and digitalization provider CENIT, the panel will focus specifically on #automationsolutions for small- and medium-sized businesses. While large corporations have already made significant strides in #automation, many #SMEs are still in the early phases of implementation. Panel host Benedikt Hofmann, Editor-in-Chief, MM MaschinenMarkt and blechnet, will lead the discussion on innovative approaches and practical first steps to navigate the wide landscape of #automation. https://lnkd.in/d7nUzQTu

🕰️ Are we at the eleventh hour for the European manufacturing industry? In our latest column for AUTlook - Fachmagazin, Friedrich Bleicher and I discuss the mounting structural challenges that Austria’s manufacturing sector faces. With iconic companies like KTM, Schaeffler, and Siemens grappling with unprecedented pressures, the question arises: are we prepared to act decisively to secure Europe’s manufacturing future? We explore pressing questions like: 💡 How can Europe’s manufacturing sector embrace higher levels of automation and autonomous, data-driven production as a condition for success? 💡 What must change to reverse the decline in value-added activities and ensure local production contributes over 20% to GDP? 💡 How can wisdom and collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers lead us back to sustainable growth? The time to act is now. As structural pressures intensify, we must harness the opportunities of Industry 4.0 and let wisdom and foresight guide our strategies. I’d love to hear your perspectives: 💬 How do you see Europe navigating these industrial challenges? 👇 Let’s discuss in the comments.
