Hannover Messe 2016 / Closing figuresSignificant increase in visitors achieved
The 2016 edition of the Hannover Messe ended on April 29 with a significant increase in visitor numbers compared to 2014. The organizer is particularly proud of the many concrete application examples for Industry 4.0.
The topic of Industry 4.0 inevitably raises the question of how distributed intelligence can be used to solve control tasks in a modular system in an efficient and user-friendly way. Visitors to the trade fair were able to get answers to this question at the numerous "Smart Factories". For example, at the Pilz stand. As a member of the SmartFactory KL research platform, the safety specialist from Ostfildern not only took part in the corresponding joint stand of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Hall 8, but also brought its own small "Smart Factory" (pictured) to Hanover.
