In theory, the topic of digitalization has already been thought through, but in practice, or rather in operations, it is not so simple. The two-day 'Modern Assembly' congress offers a tried and tested forum for this. Twelve renowned experts will provide an introduction to their topic and will then be available for discussions and contacts.

The first day of the congress, which has the motto "Digitalization across the board", will focus on the far-reaching digitalization of companies at all levels and the digital networking of individual areas. The aim is seamless, trouble-free integration. In practice-oriented presentations, experts from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO, R3DT, Auvesy, Schunk, Zimmer and Siemens PLM Software will shed light on the topic from various angles - from conception and system planning to implementation and operation.

The second day will focus on people in modern assembly. A lot can go wrong here. In the worst case, the employee is just a frustrated and unreliable link in digital production. The six speakers from Sick, Schmalz, Universal Robots, Pilz, IBM and Bott know how things can be done better. They have dealt intensively with the interaction between man and machine and know solutions that relieve employees and increase productivity at the same time.

The congress is aimed at specialists and managers from the fields of production, assembly and intralogistics. Interested parties can register for the event at the early bird discount until August 31, 2019. To ensure that visitors to Motek can attend both the trade fair and the congress, the event starts at 10:30 am and ends at around 2:30 pm. Both congress days can be booked individually or together.
