In theory, the topic of digitalization has been thought through for a long time: Everyone knows how it should actually be. In practice, however, it's not that simple in the end. It's good to be able to ask questions. In the field of assembly, the "Modern Assembly" congress offers a tried and tested forum for this. Twelve proven experts will introduce their topic and will then be available for discussion and contact.

The editorial team has set two focal points this year: On 8 October, the topic is "Digitalization across the board", and on 9 October, the theme is "Where does this leave people in modern assembly?".

The first day is all about the far-reaching digitalization of companies and the digital networking of individual areas. The aim is seamless, trouble-free integration. The six speakers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO, R3DT, Auvesy, Schunk, Zimmer and Siemens PLM Software will shed light on the topic from various angles, from conception and system planning to implementation and operation.

The second day is all about people in the brave new world of digital assembly. A lot can go wrong here. In the worst case, the employee is just a frustrated and unreliable link in digital production. The six speakers from Sick, Schmalz, Universal Robots, Pilz, IBM and Bott know how things can be done better. They have dealt intensively with the interaction between man and machine and know solutions that relieve the strain on employees and increase productivity at the same time.

The congress is aimed at specialists and managers from the fields of production, assembly and intralogistics. Interested parties can register for the event at the early bird discount until August 31. To enable visitors to Motek to attend both the trade fair and the congress, the event will start at 10:30 am and end at 2:30 pm. Both congress days can be booked individually or together.
