Sorting systems are now among the most data-intensive areas of the recycling industry. Modern lines capture material flows, purity levels, contamination and throughput figures in e... AI data analysis in the recycling processUrraco Evo for flexible material flows in recycling
Today’s recycling plants must handle a wide variety of material streams. Wood, end-of-life tyres, mixed scrap, aluminium, cables, plastic canisters and oil tanks each place their o... Quick-change system for tyres, scrap metal and other materialsAutonomous robotics for industrial plants and outdoor areas
In industry, autonomous robotics is often still associated with clearly demarcated indoor environments. Many systems work reliably on marked indoor routes, but reach their limits a... Robots also for use in complex outdoor areasWima improves classification of moist materials
At first glance, screening technology often seems unspectacular. In many systems, its task appears to be simply to separate material according to size. In practice, however, the qu... Separating moist or sticky material by sizeDiscSpreader automove improves sorting in recycling
In recycling plants, the quality of sorting is not only determined at the actual separator. Even before that, the material must be prepared in such a way that downstream systems ca... Increase sorting quality through preparatory process stageShredding of end-of-life tyres using rotary shears in plants
The shredding of end-of-life tyres is one of the unassuming yet central processes of modern circular economy. Tyres are durable products, but at the same time difficult to dispose ... Processes in modern tyre recyclingAI infrastructure in data centres: cooling and power supply
AI infrastructure is growing rapidly, yet it remains invisible to many users. Whilst applications are becoming increasingly prevalent in everyday life, the actual processing power ...

Refractory materials are rarely the centre of attention when talking about glass production, battery cells or industrial high-temperature processes. Yet the stability, process reli... Refractory materials for extreme temperaturesExoskeleton S700 with data cable in industrial use
Exoskeletons are one of the most visible developments in the industrial working environment. They intervene directly in the physical strain of skilled workers and push the boundari... Reducing physical strain in industrial working environmentsAgile ONE humanoid robot for industrial systems
Industrial robotics is in a phase of fundamental expansion. While traditional industrial robots specialise in clearly defined, repetitive tasks, the focus is increasingly shifting ... Industrial robotics in the expansion phaseQuality control for plates in crockery production
Surface defects, dark spots, flaking or small flaws in the material can impair usability and at the same time reduce the visual quality. This is precisely where the system presente... Reliably detect defects in the materialCircuit-breaker 3QD2 for DC systems
The development of modern energy infrastructures is currently visibly shifting towards direct current. What was long considered a special application is increasingly becoming the f... Development of modern energy infrastructuresIndustrial companies are increasingly turning to automation to increase efficiency, safety, and precision in production. At trade fairs, companies showcase solutions for process control, machine networking, and quality assurance. Modular systems, integrated robot solutions, and smart sensor technology for industrial use are presented.
Whether lightweight construction, 3D printing, or special materials – industry is investing in new materials and innovative processes to make products more sustainable, lighter, or more durable. Messe.TV features articles on developments in additive manufacturing as well as materials with functional properties.
Industrial companies are faced with the challenge of making production processes not only economical but also sustainable. Energy management, heat recovery, and intelligent control technology play a central role in this.
Industrial environments have high requirements for protection and safety. Whether for machine operation, building infrastructure, or IT, the solutions presented show how modern technology minimizes risks and secures work processes.
Maintenance and repair are among the central tasks in industry—not only to prevent breakdowns, but also to extend the service life of systems. Numerous suppliers present modular concepts, sensor solutions, and digital tools for predictive maintenance.
