The 40th Motek international trade fair for production and assembly automation, together with the 15th Bondexpo international trade fair for bonding technology, was a highly successful and well-attended trade fair highlight for the manufacturing industry this fall. <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;159593&#8243;]Frickenhausen, 12 October 2022 \u2013 505 exhibitors from 24 countries came to Stuttgart for Motek\/Bondexpo 2022. \u201cOnce again, we experienced a lively, inspiring trade fair in four exhibition halls with satisfied exhibitors and expert visitors,\u201d summarises Rainer Bachert, longstanding project manager for Motek\/Bondexpo. \u201cWe were pleased to welcome 12% more exhibitors here in Stuttgart than in 2021, the relaunch year after the pandemic. We\u2019re very pleased with these strong results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, this year\u2019s trade fair was a celebration of Motek\u2019s 40th anniversary. Original exhibitors, including Murtfeldt, KMT Produktions- und Montagetechnik, Afag, IEF-Werner, F\u00f6hrenbach, Utz Ratio Technik and Zimmer, were honoured on the first day of the trade fair by trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. \u201cThroughout all the years, Motek has been a significant milestone with high standards in the field of automation,\u201d observed Achim Gau\u00df, managing director of the Zimmer Group.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;805109&#8243;]\u201cThe Best Thing That\u2019s Ever Happened to Us\u201d[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;764632&#8243;]\u201c40 years participation at Motek \u2013 that\u2019s the best thing that\u2019s ever happened to us,\u201d remarked Ulrich Moser of IEF-Werner. \u201cFor years, we\u2019ve been receiving more enquiries at Motek than at any other event. It\u2019s perfect for presenting new products,\u201d continued Moser. \u201cThe more explanation the product requires, the better Motek works as a marketing tool. We come together with the right customers and visitors here, and meetings take place directly at the relevant exhibits.\u201d Ulrich Moser\u2019s conclusion after four decades of participation at the trade fair: \u201cFuture prospects for Motek are outstanding!\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;190077&#8243;]\u201cCentral Trade Fair Anchor in Our Annual Events Calendar\u201d<br \/>\n[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;163374&#8243;]Many voices have unanimously expressed their opinion that there\u2019s no substitute for the exchange of ideas at a live trade fair. Manuel R\u00f6singer from Bott said: \u201cFor us, Motek is the central trade fair anchor in our annual events calendar. We speak with customers and users about the optimisation of assembly operations at everything from manual to fully automated workstation systems.\u201d R\u00f6singer also stressed the fact that the right contact persons meet up at Motek\/Bondexpo. The entire value creation chain for industrial manufacturing is presented at the event, and suppliers of solutions and systems get together with the right target groups. Thilo Utz, managing director of Utz Ratio Technik, reports that he has also had the same positive and successful experience: \u201cWe\u2019ve had forty successful years at the trade fair \u2013 we meet our customers here, as well as our suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;144360&#8243;]Flexibility, Efficiency and Sustainability as Success Parameters[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;186776&#8243;]Many exhibitors focused on manufacturing flexibility, efficiency and sustainability as success parameters. Motek\/Bondexpo once again provided the right setting and a suitable platform for exchanging information, as well as for cultivating customer relations and initiating business. For Igus too, Motek has been a \u201cvery important trade fair\u201d for decades, affirmed Alexa Heinzelmann \u2013 the Cologne-based company focuses primary attention on improving all motion solutions and components. Sebastian Walter from Universal Robots also confirmed: \u201cFor us, the beginning of October always means: It\u2019s time for Motek!\u201d This has been the case each and every year, because Motek is \u201ca highly user-oriented and very genuine trade fair\u201d, affirmed Walter. Trade fair visitors come to our booth with specific robotics issues, which are mutually discussed and finally transformed into implementable solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Elmar Worms from Bosch Rexroth also meets the right trade fair audience at Motek: \u201cOur products supply answers to the questions that concern the trade fair visitors.\u201d Amongst others, solutions for autonomous pallet transport, collaborative robotics and modern screwdriving technologies met with great interest this year at the booth operated by the company from Lohr, Germany.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;162964&#8243;]Lots of Young Trade Fair Visitors on the Move[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;152065&#8243;]Not only in the Startup Area, but rather in all four exhibition halls, there were conspicuously large numbers of young visitors this year. Amongst other factors this was due to the comprehensive supplementary programme including the expert forum on \u201cSafety and Automation\u201d held by Pilz from Ostfildern, Germany, which presented the most up-to-date information on trends covering all aspects of safe automation. Young companies in the Startup Area in hall 1 with their new developments for production automation were of course targeted by young expert visitors as well. For example, Benjamin Volkert from Volkert Maschinen- und Anlagenbau demonstrated how users can familiarise themselves with cobot functions and modes of operation in a practical manner at his booth. [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;117195&#8243;]Six Use Cases at the Arena of Integration[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155899&#8243;]Once again in 2022, the Arena of Integration (AoI) was at the heart of the Software for Assembly exhibition area in hall 1. Participating companies prepared a total of six use cases. For example, macio and sereact offered two levels of digitalisation and automation in production: a collaborative robot was used to pick various items from a single-sort container and place them into a load carrier. The cobot worked entirely autonomously thanks to AI-supported control software, which allowed it to perceive its surroundings and identify precise gripping points, even for complex objects, and to develop manipulation strategies. Another example of AoI involved digital order processing through the use of virtual commissioning and a digital twin as demonstrated by ruhlamat\u2019s and machineering\u2019s use case. Thyssen Krupp Automation presented an example of assembly digitalisation using a manufacturing execution system (MES) for both new and existing facilities (greenfield and brownfield).[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;194185&#8243;]On the Way to Normality[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;102792&#8243;]\u201cTogether with our exhibitors, we\u2019re very pleased to have welcomed 24,236 visitors from 64 countries to Motek\/Bondexpo 2022 in Stuttgart,\u201d exclaimed Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair promoters P.
