Trade Fairs – Markets
Trade visitors to Motek will be able to obtain information at first hand on all relevant elements of automation technology.
Focus on automation
Quick, intensive acquisition of information: Motek, the carefully revamped trade
fair of guest organiser Paul E. Schall, will focus even more on users in 2013.
Motek, International trade fair for automation
in production and assembly,
will once again set standards from 7 to
10 October 2013. “Every year it is remarkable
to see the increasing number
of automation system houses, robot
technology system integrators and
manufacturers of assembly systems
and complete solutions,” emphasises
the trade fair organiser Paul E. Schall.
Robotics and handling technology are two
key topics at the Motek trade fair.
“The range of handling technology, robot
systems, material flow and conveying
technology, and joining and connecting
technology will also be further
extended. This is an important advantage
for customers and users, for example
manufacturers of devices, subsystems
and complete systems, or manufacturing
end customers since they
will be able to obtain information at
Motek on all relevant automation elements
and complete solutions in detail
and as a whole.”
Creating additional value
Another practical benefit is produced
by the cooperation, which started in
2013, between the world's leading
trade fair Motek and xpertgate!,
the leading online trade fair in all
German-speaking countries. “The objective
of the cooperation is to create
additional value-added for exhibitors
in the area of assembly systems and
special machines, and especially for
robot system integrators,” says Schall.
“This will actually be achieved by
extending process chain-oriented
presentations of assembly systems,
robot system integrators and complete
process solutions.”
In conjunction with the 7th Bondexpo,
International trade fair for industrial
bonding technology (please
also read Page 29 in this respect),
Motek is likely to bring together well
over 1,000 exhibitors and more than
35,000 trade visitors at Messe
Stuttgart this year. Motek will feature
a carefully revamped concept in 2013:
it will focus even more on system
solutions and application orientation
than in the past without neglecting
the interests of designers, special machine
manufacturers and system integrators.
Another innovation involves
the structuring of the Motek exhibition
halls according to key topics and
process orientation. “We are therefore
taking account of the increasing and,
above all, changed requirements of
markets and users in regard to faster
and more intensive acquisition of
information,” stresses the trade fair
organiser Schall.
