They came with explicit objectives: reduced unit costs, increased productivity, minimised consumption, optimised performance. \u201cThese goals are driving new developments,\u201d observes project manager Rainer Bachert. \u201cThe trade fair\u2019s main topics were characterised by keywords such as efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability,\u201d says Bachert. \u201cMotek 2024 demonstrated again and again that production is dependent on AI-based processes in a wide variety of areas. Artificial intelligence supports processes and the work force, and is becoming firmly established in manufacturing companies.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”150290″]Clear-Cut Thematic Profile, Satisfied Exhibitors[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”339071″]The Motek\/Bondexpo trade fair duo is the perfect place for the industry sector to present the entire value added chain for industrial manufacturing. It\u2019s recognised as an ideal business platform because it supports the modern design of manufacturing processes for all parties involved \u2013 pragmatically and with a practical approach. Low-cost as well as high-end automation solutions are covered. The range of topics is clearly geared towards industrial manufacturing processes \u2013 from raw materials and component handling, as well as sorting and feeding, right on up to assembly, screwing, joining and labelling, and finally discharge and packaging. Once again this year, expert visitors experienced various types of feed systems, robot-based handling applications, inline inspection systems including image processing, transfer systems and autonomous logistics, as well as packaging technology. \u201cOnly Motek offers such a user-oriented format,\u201d emphasised Dr. Ing. Christian L\u00f6chte, CEO at FORMHAND Automation GmbH in Braunschweig, Germany. Having originally participated at the trade fair as a startup, the company is now a traditional exhibitor at Motek where it presents flexible gripper pads for gripping, clamping and holding workpieces and products \u2013 ranging from car body parts to tomatoes. \u201cWe\u2019re in the right place here at Motek, because the trade fair concept is clearly user-oriented and this aligns with our target group,\u201d says L\u00f6chte. [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”136589″]Personal Exchange, Matching Target Group[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”982435″]Optimum datamanagement solutions GmbH has also been exhibiting at Motek for many years with its \u201cClever Klaus\u201d. The camera-based work assistance system, which has received various awards, guides employees step by step at manual workstations, at the same time ensuring that no mistakes are made. \u201cThis is a classic Motek topic,\u201d observed managing director Wolfgang Mahanty who, together with his team, has been cultivating personal contact with the relevant target group at the trade fair for years.<\/p>\n

Participation at the trade fair was also a forward-looking experience for Robin Geiselbrecht, EU sales engineer at VKS Ltd. (Visual Knowledge Share). The young Canadian enterprise offers browser-based software that helps production companies provide employees with digital instructions and capture live production data. The goal is continuous improvement of the production process \u2013 a classic Motek topic. \u201cWe\u2019ve been operating in Europe for twelve years and are exhibiting at Motek this year for the second time. The Stuttgart region is home to a significant number of the industrial companies we want to approach. The topics covered by Motek are in line with our target group, as discussions at our booth have shown. We\u2019ll be back again next year.\u201d
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”213099″]Focus on Digitalisation, Software and AI[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”670503″]The two adjacent booths operated by Bott and Assemblio also attracted large crowds with their focus on the integration of software solutions into manual assembly processes. Together, the two companies organised their own supplementary programme with practice-oriented presentations, workshops and podium discussions. The software solution for efficient assembly planning and automated preparation of assembly instructions developed by Assemblio GmbH attracted many interested expert visitors to the booth, who wanted to learn more about process optimisation in production and assembly, as well as the practical implementation of AI and inter-system networking.<\/p>\n

Robert Patric Fabian, CEO of Einzelkind Software GmbH in Karlsruhe, was also extremely satisfied with the large number of interesting meetings. The young company develops customised cloud software solutions for B2B customers. \u201cWe met up with the relevant target group who are interested in our digitalisation solutions here at Motek.\u201d Startup Inbolt from France also attracted a great deal of attention with its presentation of GuideNOW \u2013 a real-time robot guidance solution based on 3D vision and AI. It consists of a 3D camera mounted to the robot, real-time AI for workpiece localisation and a web application for training the AI algorithms on any CAD model or 3D scan.

Once again this year, it demonstrated that it has never been easier to get started in automation. And it offered lots of information on AI,\u201d says Bachert. AI was a key topic at the forum presentations, which were very well received. \u201cWe\u2019re very pleased with the successful conclusion of this autumn event,\u201d says Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. \u201cThis proven trade fair was once again the perfect platform for bringing together suppliers and users from the factory automation industry in a personal, practice-oriented manner. In many ways, Motek\/Bondexpo has once again been able to generate forward-looking impetus and make a valuable contribution to helping manufacturing companies position themselves for the future. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all exhibitors, expert visitors and interested guests for the lively exchange in a constructive working atmosphere! We\u2019ll carry this outstanding, inspiring atmosphere over from 2024 to next year\u2019s event \u2013 the 43rd Motek and the 18th Bondexpo from the 7th through the 9th of October, 2025.
