c. There are nine hot topics in this exhibition. The most popular is Industry 4.0, which has become the German label of national origin.
Hotspot 1 Industry 4.0
German Industry 4.0 changed its tone: humans continue to be the protagonist, and the connection climbs to the peak. The "human, machine and IT" are the cornerstones of the future factory, and the network (or simply the Internet of Things) is pushing Industry 4.0 to a new stage. Through the theme of 'Industry Integration - Connection and Collaboration', Hannover has strengthened the industrial connection and how it promotes the development of new forms of business, work and collaboration.
More importantly, Germany has tested the issue of “how to make new technologies part of collaboration†in 12 regions, such as “technical advancement and organizational synergyâ€. This is also an important goal of the German Federal Ministry of Economics “digital hubâ€.

This alliance, established a year ago by the German BITCOM Association, aims to promote the digital transformation of German industry. There are currently 350 startups, 150 companies and 45 institutions, of which the “Central Office†serves as a central office for networked connections. Large and medium-sized enterprises, entrepreneurial employees can be mixed together, is the Germans very aggressive this time?
Collaboration has become the new tone of Industry 4.0.
Hotspot 2 Logistics 4.0
Logistics is also dawning. Is 4.0 all German?
It looks like it is.
CeMAT, the world's largest logistics show, was previously an independent exhibition and will be held this year. Production and logistics are in a process of seamless integration, enabling manufacturers to create more efficient and flexible industrial chains, from on-site logistics to off-site logistics and even to retail, with borders blurred.
In this year's Expo, with a large number of products and cases, the audience can feel the huge potential of intelligent logistics. At the same time, in the era of service is king, the audience can also see the comprehensive cross-channel logistics system and logistics operation and maintenance services related solutions.
German MAN provided a pilot test fleet for Schenk. Several cars are connected together, and the first car is used to guide and control the speed of the next few cars, thus achieving fuel-saving overall. In February of this year, the test was started by means of empty cars.

Industry 4.0 is able to handle Logistics 4.0 because they have the opportunity to grow together. Within the framework of the Industry 4.0 plant, intelligent logistics is an important link between supply and production, and the cornerstone of building a smart factory. The intelligent logistics system will be integrated into the intelligent manufacturing process to integrate the intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics systems. Therefore, the vision of intelligent logistics is that all logistics environments start from automated warehouses, all using digital solutions rather than manpower. The main challenge in achieving this is to manage complex processes and make them more efficient. This requires strong automation technology support and innovative logistics processes that can handle increasingly complex supply chains.
Hotspot 3 Platform Economy The digital economy is hotly pushing around the world. In recent two years, Germany has released a number of research reports to explore the methods and impacts of Germany's advancement of digital work. Among them, the "German Digital Platform Green Paper" released in May 2016 and the "German Digital Platform White Paper" released in March 2017 are the most authoritative. The two reports also mention the importance of further promoting the development of traditional economy into a digital production and platform economy, which is the driving force for growth, innovation, productivity and employment.
For many people, digital production is basically equivalent to Industry 4.0, which is what we call a shift to smart production and smart devices. What is more noteworthy is that the structure of the market economy is also changing, that is, the platform economy. This is the core of digital transformation.
Industry 4.0 is closely related to the platform economy, the most important of which is the digital factory. In a digital factory, the entire production process and supply chain are virtual and highly flexible. In the digital platform, enterprises can provide consumers with more products and more appropriate services. This platform will gradually evolve into an ecosystem, and enterprises can integrate with more third-party platforms through modular business. Meet the various requirements of users.
It can be seen more simply. Now many companies in the production process may use cloud solutions from different vendors for different applications. Separate applications can solve the problem, but what about the merger? The German smart factory alliance SmartFactoryKL provides a "Yuanyun meta-cloud" solution.

This is a super platform that brings together different individual cloud solutions. It provides expertise to cover a wide range of machines, but only for specific applications. Data from a variety of different machines can be mixed with analysis and application.
Hotspot 4 Collaborative Robots Robots show their talents and all important manufacturers are present. KUKA, Yasakawa, ABB, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Schunk, St?ubli, Universal Robots, Franka Emika, robotics companies, system integrators and fixture system suppliers will showcase their smart factory solutions. Their emergence reflects the indispensable role of robots in today's modern manufacturing industry. Among them, Cobots will be a focus of this exhibition.
Collaborative robots are robots that are designed to reduce the risk of injury from the beginning of the design and can be safely interacted and contacted directly with humans. The purpose of collaborative robots is to combine the repetitive performance of robots (accurate) with the unique skills and abilities of human beings. With the development of technology, all robots in the future should have the characteristics of safe and cooperative work with humans. In 2025, the global market value of human-machine collaborative robots will reach $11.5 billion, which is equivalent to the market size of traditional industrial robots.
The collaborative robot developed by Shenyang Yuanda and the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany, which has long been engaged in robot research and development, will be the world premiere at this Hannover Fair. It is worthy of attention. This is the best news that can be heard since the cooperation began in January last year. The intelligent grinding robot developed by Shenyang Yuanda has the advantages of intelligence, flexibility, high precision, explosion-proof, environmental protection, etc., and realizes the “machine replacement†in the processing industry; and the visual guidance technology through 3D machine vision, modeling, comparative calculation Information network transmission, guiding robot movement, is equivalent to the eyes of the robot.
UR Robotics from Denmark is committed to the “plug-and-play†approach, simple installation and cost, thanks to its UR+ ecosystem, which provides a large number of software resources, sensors, fixture modules and more.
However, collaborative robots have not been much sought after in China. ABB's Yumi robot is more like a cute plaything and has not caught the attention of the industry.
Hotspots 5 Digital Twins Digital Twins refers to the digital representation of physical objects in virtual space, digitally creating virtual models for physical objects, and simulating their behavioral characteristics in real-world environments. Digitalization has the characteristics of modularity, largeness, smallness, fidelity and connectivity. It can break the barrier between reality and virtuality from the perspectives of testing, development, process and operation and maintenance, and realize production and management in the whole life cycle of products. The height of the connection is digital and modular.
The challenges of global manufacturing are intensifying, and manufacturing companies are in urgent need of digital transformation, and digital generation is an important technology. It not only refers to the digitization of products, but also the digital construction of the factory itself and the digitization of process and equipment. In the process of digital twinning, various integrated software tools, precise modeling, and three-dimensional lifecycle identification are required.
No corporate digital strategy can ignore the role of digital twinning. The SAP Leonardo platform introduces a cloud solution "Preventive Engineering Insight" for digital hygiene. Using the Norwegian 3D software you just purchased, you can evaluate the pressure, strain and material validation data from the sensors to help companies gain insight into the equipment.

Hotspot 6 Predictive Maintenance This issue has been an industrial hotspot for many years.
Regardless of the industry, equipment is a high-value asset and plays a vital role in overall production operations. Unplanned downtime will not only affect the delivery date, but also reduce maintenance efficiency, increase the risk of equipment chain damage, and further affect the production of upstream and downstream equipment, which is a major loss to the enterprise. As a result, equipment maintenance enjoys high priority treatment, and clear early identification and intervention programs are very valuable for the maintenance of industrial equipment.
Predictive maintenance relies on smart sensors to determine the status of a running machine and schedule maintenance when needed. Through the data collected by these sensors, machine builders can provide repair services to plant operators in a timely manner, thereby establishing their after-sales maintenance business.
Continental Tire offers a ConTIConnect IoT platform (in fact, Goodyear has a similar platform), and Vodafone provides mobile communication support to provide fleet managers with monitoring of all tire data.

Interestingly, however, this platform is temporarily not open in Germany. It is only operated in the United States, Thailand and other places.
Hotspot 7 Integrated Energy The digitalization of the energy industry has not stopped. Without digitization, existing centralized power plants have difficulty turning to modern, efficient energy systems for renewable energy and distributed generation structures. In the upcoming Hannover Messe, the “Integrated Energy†signage is particularly prominent, and the Energy Pavilion will show how digitalization affects the energy system. At the show, visitors will not only be able to see the entire industry chain of traditional energy production, transmission, distribution and storage, but will also find smart grids, virtual power plants, renewable energy solutions and mobile alternative solutions.
Hotspot 8 Lightweight structure Germany is currently the country with the highest proportion of automotive lightweight materials. The German automotive industry is highly developed, and it has gathered some of the world's finest manufacturing companies in the field of new materials and machinery manufacturing, and has the advantage of promoting lightweight and unique advantages.
The industrial supply exhibition in Hall 5 will be the main showcase of this hot topic. Here, people looking for solutions can travel to the Integrated Lightweight Plaza: a new market for lightweight materials, processes and solutions across the entire industry. The square will feature a speech corner and a central presentation area. Fourteen national associations and organizations are providing their expertise to the Integrated Lightweight Plaza, including the German Composites, the Fraunhofer Lightweight Design Alliance and the Lightweight Design Initiative sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy.
Hybrid lightweight structures are becoming hot spots, through the mixing of different materials, for example, using aluminum, steel, CFRP (enhanced carbon fiber) rather than "iron plate". Clearly, representatives from the automotive industry, rail vehicle manufacturing, logistics, electronics, machinery and equipment engineering, aerospace and medical technology have come to Hannover to find lightweight design solutions. Hannover Industrial Fair is catering to this trend.
Hotspot 9 Artificial Intelligence The most indispensable technology is probably artificial intelligence. It is the star of all countries. Regrettably, in the manufacturing industry, it has not even found a supporting position.
Broadly speaking, the integration between artificial intelligence and IT platforms and industrial robots will bring a new generation of smart factories to a higher level. Machine learning has become the most important technology for artificial intelligence applications in manufacturing. It enables digital systems to identify patterns that appear in data and apply them to new data streams, so that new trends can be monitored in real time during system operation. And abnormal conditions.
However, it seems that there are a large number of machine learning applications in the manufacturing environment, such as intelligent monitoring equipment failure, energy optimization management, logistics vehicle automatic scheduling, etc., are closely related to big data analysis. It is artificial intelligence, but it is also too stubborn. The most commonly used AI is still image recognition, followed by digital assistants.
Although the AI ​​is very dazzling, in the industrial field, it can only be counted.
Terminals can be divided into UK terminal, European terminal series, plug-in terminal series, transformer terminal, building wiring terminal, fence type terminal series, spring type terminal series, rail type terminal series, through the wall Type terminal series.It is able to achieve safe, reliable and effective connection, especially in the environment of high current and high voltage.
