EMO Hannover will once again be providing a platform for innovative solutions, industrial applications and future technologies in the field of metalworking. “It includes the entire international production technology value chain, covering everything from cut-to-length machines to cylinder saws,” said Welcker.
Around 2,200 exhibitors are expected, well over half of them from outside Germany. According to the organizers, EMO exhibitors have responded well to the early bird discount, which runs until 15 October.
The theme of EMO Hannover 2019 will be “Smart technologies driving tomorrow’s production!” This shifts the focus onto the development and implementation of new Industry 4.0 functions. The special IoT in Production show, for example, will be presenting a range of solutions – from individual machines up to cloud-based systems. The theme will also be highlighted in a new area for individual control technology, software and automation technology exhibitors.
EMO Hannover will also be showcasing the latest developments in the full range of metalworking machining processes, from additive manufacturing through to metal cutting. “Beyond networking and software-controlled production processes, the industry is still very much about metalworking hardware; workpieces still have to be processed in the conventional way to create an end product. EMO Hannover will also be showcasing the full spectrum of equipment,” explained Welcker. It is aimed at international customers from the entire metalworking and processing industry such as the automotive and parts supply, mechanical and plant engineering, electrical and aerospace industries, plus fields such as medical technology and many others.
In addition to the wide range of exhibitors, EMO Hannover also offers a wealth of special events, forums and conferences staged by the EMO organizer VDW (Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken – German Machine Tool Builders’ Association), its business partners and numerous exhibitors. At the last EMO Hannover, the online calendar featured over 600 additional events. The overall programme makes EMO Hannover an important networking and knowledge transfer get-together for production experts from all over the world.
