Hannover. The
world is at the dawn of a new age in industrial robotics. While
industrial robots are mostly still large, heavy items of plant designed
to rapidly process repetitive tasks from behind safety barriers in big
factories, they are now also making their way into smaller factories,
where they are more compact and versatile and are able to work alongside
their human “co-workers” without any safety barriers. This
proliferation of new application areas, coupled with burgeoning
worldwide demand, is driving strong growth in robotics sales. The
International Federation of Robotics (IFR) reports that its members sold
around 170,000 industrial robots in 2013, an increase of 12 percent on
2012, and that 2014 is headed for similar growth.
With
such a lot happening in the robotics industry, it is imperative that
factory owners keep up to date with the latest developments. And there’s
no better place to do this than in Hannover, Germany. Marc Siemering,
Deutsche Messe’s Senior Vice-President responsible for HANNOVER MESSE:
“At HANNOVER MESSE 2015, the world’s leading robot manufacturers will
demonstrate that robotics is the key to enhanced competitiveness and
flexibility in industrial production. Big names like Fanuc, Güdel and
Kuka will be showcasing the latest generation of robots and highlighting
the key role played by robotics in the fourth industrial revolution.”
Fanuc
will be presenting its latest robotics and control/servo-drive solutions
in what will be its first appearance at HANNOVER MESSE since 2003. “We
will make extensive use of the fair to profile our multidisciplinary
robotics and factory automation technologies,” said Fanuc Germany CEO
Olaf Kramm.
Fanuc,
Güdel and Kuka will be presenting their products and solutions at
HANNOVER MESSE’s Industrial Automation show, as will Comau, Kawasaki,
Stäubli, Mitsubishi, Epson, IBG, ABB and several other leading providers
of robot-assisted automation technology. Among the innovations on show
will be robots that are wonderfully simple to program and feature
intuitive touchpad control technology. There will be robots that are
capable of taking on a much greater range of tasks than conventional
machines thanks to the latest sensor technology.
ABB, of instance, will
be launching YuMi, a two-armed collaborative assembly assistant that can
see and feel its way around. Its soft, padded arms ensure that it can
interact safely with its human counterparts. Siemering: “These latest
robots give factories the flexibility to accommodate today’s steadily
growing demand for customer individualization in series production. They
are also much more affordable and simpler to program, which puts them
within reach of small and medium enterprises.”
The
exhibition area at Industrial Automation will be supported by an array
of amazing special displays and shows. At the Robotics, Automation &
Vision display area, for example, system integrators will demonstrate
their applications and solutions for robot-assisted automation in a
range of industries. Mobile Robots & Autonomous Systems is another
must-see special display. It will feature the latest technologies and
innovations in mobile industrial and service robotics.
2015
will also be the fifth time that the ROBOTICS AWARD is offered by the
organizers of HANNOVER MESSE. The Award honors companies that develop
products, projects and technological advancements that make an
innovative contribution to robotics-based solutions in the areas of
industrial automation, mobile robots and autonomous systems. Olaf Lies,
the Lower Saxony Minister for Economics, Labor and Transportation, with
present the winners with their prizes at a special ceremony at the
Automation Forum on 14 April 2015.
But
before then, there’s the 4th ROBOTICS CONGRESS, which will be held in
Hannover on Tuesday 9 December 2014 and will explore current trends in
applied robotics. Among the discussion topics will be the move towards
robots which are easy to operate and integrate and hence open up new
areas of application. One such area is human-machine collaboration – as
reflected in the congress’s lead theme of “Human-Robot Collaboration.”
The program includes technical presentations and discussions, not to
mention keynotes from such notables as Dr. Norbert Elkmann, Director
Robot Systems, Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation
(Fraunhofer IFF). Dr. Elkmann’s address is titled “Safe Human-Machine
Collaboration – Current Developments and Projects.” The congress will be
held in the Convention Center (CC) at the Hannover Exhibition Center.
HANNOVER MESSE – Get new technology first!
The world’s leading trade fair for
industrial technology is staged annually in Hannover, Germany. The next
HANNOVER MESSE will run from 13 to 17 April 2015 and feature India as
its official Partner Country. HANNOVER MESSE 2015 will comprise ten
flagship fairs: Industrial Automation • Motion, Drive & Automation
(MDA) • Energy • Wind • MobiliTec • Digital Factory • ComVac •
Industrial Supply • Surface Technology • Research & Technology. The
upcoming event will place a strong emphasis on Industrial Automation and
IT, Power Transmission and control, Energy and Environmental
Technologies, Industrial Subcontracting, Production Engineering and
Services and Research & Development.
