Under the unifying umbrella of HANNOVER MESSE 2007 (www.hannovermesse.de) from 16 to 20 April, the Industrial Automation display area this year combines three international trade fairs in one: INTERKAMA+, Factory Automation and Industrial Building Automation. The range of products and services on offer encompasses all key disciplines in the field of automation – control technology, measuring technology, electronics and electrical engineering, to mechanical engineering, robotics, and networking for industrial processes and production. INTERKAMA+ is the leading international trade fair for process automation. It covers everything from individual components to complete automation solutions, plus engineering and maintenance services.
Factory Automation showcases the entire range of networked automation solutions available for mechanical engineering, electronics and electrical engineering. This display focuses on live presentations featuring solutions in the area of robot-assistedautomation and electrical engineering.
Industrial Building Automation underlines the importance of networking building and production automation. The display is the ideal forum for production planners, designers, developers, engineering heads, and production managers. It focuses on automation solutions for industrial production halls and buildings.
With industry reliant on utilizing competitive edge technology wherever possible, fault-free production processes and protecting products against piracy are becoming increasingly important issues. The new special display area “Safety & Security,” for example, focuses on plant and machine safety, technical protection against piracy, and industrial network security. Innovative identification technologies in production are also taking off. This is why the “Industrial Identification” competence center offers potential customers from across the entire production industry an overview of marketready labeling and identification systems.
Complementing classical industrial communication, wireless communication is becoming increasingly important. And the “Wireless Automation” display area has been created to cater for this development, presenting solutions for operating, monitoring and controlling wireless systems or for performing remote maintenance using wireless technology. The “Industrial Ethernet” special display area shows an integrated company network, combining industrial automation, development and office IT.
