The EMO 2025
The world of metalworking in Hanover
Automated machines, collaborative robots, 3D printing, AI in data-driven process chains - the world of metalworking is changing rapidly. Recognizing development trends and maintaining an overview is a challenge. EMO Hannover 2025 from September 22 to 26 provides an overview.
EMO is more than just an exhibition of the latest technologies, it is the central meeting place for the international world of metalworking. This is where manufacturers, users and experts come together to exchange knowledge, discuss trends and forge new partnerships. In addition to the exhibitors' stands, visitors can look forward to specialist presentations, forums and themed areas that address the industry's most important issues for the future.
The demands on production are increasing: Energy and raw material prices, climate targets, new materials and demanding applications in sectors such as aviation, medical technology and renewable energies are calling for more efficient, sustainable and flexible solutions. Added to this is the shortage of skilled workers, which makes the focus on automation, digitalization and artificial intelligence even more urgent. EMO Hannover shows ways in which investments in machines, software and robotics can contribute to increasing productivity and competitiveness. Key trend topics are automation, sustainability and digital process chains. Automated production - from simple handling systems to collaborative robots - helps to secure capacities and increase quality. The "Cobot Area" at EMO offers practical insights into this. Sustainability also takes center stage: In the "Sustainability Area", exhibitors present solutions that can be used to reduce energy and material consumption and integrate concepts such as the circular economy and renewable energies into production processes.
Another focus is digitalization. Networked process chains, IoT solutions and AI create transparency, enable predictive maintenance and increase efficiency. Machines with sensors and monitoring systems provide the database on which production processes can be optimized and new business models developed.
