As the industrial engineering industry in Stuttgart continues to expand, the presence of Motek is gaining even more importance. The trade fair gives a glimpse on how to enhance economic and operational efficiency. Manufacturing companies today are grappling with numerous challenges, including the need for increased efficiency, cost-effectiveness, resource conservation as well as overcoming a shortage of qualified personnel. Motek, co-located with Bondexpo, aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas between suppliers and users, and promote improvements in production processes within a focused, practice-oriented environment. This traditional autumn event is set to unveil new, sustainable approaches that can significantly impact the industry. Preparations for Motek 2024 are in full swing, with a strong emphasis on digitalised and networked production components and systems. The event will highlight topics such as assembly assistance systems, workstation systems, and solutions that simplify implementation and commissioning. Additionally, object recognition and image processing for inline parts detection will be a key focus area. Feed technology remains a cornerstone of the manufacturing process. Efficient feeding, aligning, and separation of parts are crucial steps in automated assembly, requiring innovative solutions from specialized partners. Numerous exhibitors at Motek will showcase state-of-the-art feed, sorting, and separation technologies. For instance, Asyril, known for its versatile feed solutions, will demonstrate its cutting-edge systems for the separation of bulk parts. These systems are designed for easy integration, optimizing throughput times and reducing overall costs. Beyond the exhibition of products, Motek 2024 will serve as a critical venue for discussing and addressing future-oriented topics such as energy efficiency, sustainability, and the integration of artificial intelligence in manufacturing processes. The event's thematic focus on practical, real-world applications ensures that participants gain valuable insights and actionable knowledge.
