... dear readers, we will experience this year's Logimat, which the organizer Euroexpo will send across the Stuttgart trade fair stage from 13 to 15 March 2018. All topics relating to distribution, material and information flow are on the agenda, and we will be able to find out about the latest developments in automation, digitalization and flexibilization. In our handling special Logimat , we take a first look at our first industry trade fair of the year.
It has become a tradition that the first handling issue of the year also marks the opening of the competition for the handling award, which is now taking place for the fifth time. You can now find all information about the competition and the online application form at www.handling.de/award. On the second day of the Motek trade fair on October 9, 2018, it will be exciting again when the winners receive their handling award. Take part again - we look forward to your participation!
As usual, we also have many exciting topics in preparation for you this year - in addition to the regular magazine specials, there are two special issues, the supplement "Robotics in industrial production" will be published again for HMI and Motek, and we also regularly prepare interesting special newsletters for you. Don't miss the opportunity to present yourself here and take advantage of our remarkable reach. All topics, specials and dates can be found at www.handling.de/mediadaten.htm.
I wish you an interesting read and a successful start to the packed 2018 trade fair year!
Your
Petra Born
