SurfaceTechnology Germany 2024: New innovation hub

At the planned special show "Innovation Hub" at SurfaceTechnology Germany 2024, companies will present new approaches and ideas from areas such as automation, digitalization, artificial intelligence and production efficiency. These can help to make surface technology companies economically and technologically fit for the increased demands of the future and strengthen their competitiveness.

Automating production processes and thus making them more economically productive is an important goal for the manufacturing industry against the backdrop of rising costs for energy and materials as well as the shortage of skilled workers. New solutions that focus on automation, efficiency, sustainability and digitalization can help to achieve this, as they often still require time-consuming manual work. For example, new measuring and testing methods in the coating process can automatically help to improve quality. The administrative workload for contract coaters, for example, can also be significantly reduced through the use of digital solutions. In many areas, such as the coating process, robots and cobots replace or supplement employees who are often already working at full capacity and take over recurring routine tasks. This is a unique opportunity for companies and institutions that offer corresponding solutions for surface technology to present their innovations and technologies centrally and with media support in one place for the industry.
