As last year, there will be the joint stand 'Automation meets IT' and the forum of the same name, where IT applications for automation and data-based business models will be presented. At the joint stand 'MES goes Automation', exhibitors will demonstrate how a production control system can be used to optimize the manufacturing process. The Smart Factory Kaiserslautern, which was integrated into the area as a highlight at the opening last year, has now returned to Hall 10. To this end, trade fair organizer Mesago has added the 'Cyber-Security' platform to the 'Industry 4.0 Area'.
