Automation solutions for industrial processes

Industrial 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.

  • Robotics for material handling and assembly
  • Sensor-based systems for process monitoring
  • Automated testing and inspection systems
  • Software solutions for production planning and control
  • Edge computing and IoT platforms for real-time analysis
In addition to efficiency, the flexibility of the systems is also important: Modular architectures enable individual adaptations to different production lines – a decisive factor for medium-sized companies.

Materials and manufacturing technologies in industrial change

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.

  • Metal and plastics processing with new processes
  • Additive manufacturing for prototyping and series production
  • Coating technologies for protection and durability
  • High-performance materials with temperature- or pressure-resistant properties
New material solutions are proving to be key factors for progress, particularly in mechanical engineering and medical technology. Numerous reports on Messe.TV document this change.

Energy efficiency and resource-saving industrial plants

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 heat pump systems
  • Recovery systems for process waste heat
  • Real-time energy consumption monitoring
  • Technologies for reducing CO₂ emissions
Several reports on Messe.TV present companies that are breaking new ground in sustainable production – whether through hybrid technology, digitalization, or optimized control units.

Safety technology and industrial protection systems

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.

  • Safety fences and access controls
  • Personnel recognition and emergency stop systems
  • Protective enclosures for hazardous work areas
  • IT security in networked production environments
Messe.TV not only highlights products, but also their integration into existing systems. Interviews with manufacturers provide insights into standards, certifications, and practical applications.

Maintenance, retrofitting, and industrial service concepts

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.

  • Sensors for condition monitoring
  • Cloud-based maintenance systems
  • Retrofit solutions for older machines
  • Remote maintenance via secure remote access
Solutions that complement existing structures in a meaningful way and remain economically viable – even for smaller production companies – are in particularly high demand.
