The cyber security of industrial plants is designed to prevent potential attacks from interrupting the technological process.

HANNOVER MESSE 2018 is history, but its topics such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, industrial IT platforms, the expansion of power grids for electromobility, the use of robotics and autonomous systems in production and intralogistics and the role of people in the networked factory are shaping the present and the future.
The cyber security of industrial plants is designed to prevent potential attacks from interrupting the technological process. This is associated with catastrophic consequences that are not necessarily only of a financial nature.

Robots that adapt to their human counterparts, AR glasses that provide their wearer with information and learning machines that optimize themselves. "The factory of the future is a thinking factory with people at its heart," says Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe, summarizing the core message of HANNOVER MESSE 2018.

Interview with Arno Reich, Hannover Messe
Deutsche Messe has combined the two trade fairs Industrial Automation and MDA to form the new IAMD at the Hannover Messe. SCOPE editor Andreas Mühlbauer spoke to Arno Reich, Global Director IAMD and Digital Factory in the Hannover Messe team, about the impact of the new technologies.

Some believe that artificial intelligence will take over the world in a few years; others doubt that it even exists. IFS explains why, as always, the truth lies in the middle.
Machine learning, big data and Industry 4.0 - these buzzwords have long since become real concepts. With intelligent products such as smart plastics from Igus, companies can, for example, increase the reliability of their systems, plan maintenance work precisely and thus save costs.
Asset performance management solutions
Aspen Technology, Inc., a provider of software for the optimization of industrial plants, will be presenting its comprehensive Asset Performance Management (APM) solutions for the first time at the Hannover Messe.

Interview with Dr. Albert Schmidt
Cameras are playing an increasingly important role in production and quality control. They relieve the burden on people and expand the possibilities of visual inspection. They are part of entire networks of components. In order to cope with the large amounts of data, the industry relies on "intelligent" cameras that not only provide data, but also deliver results. But what must the camera be able to do, what makes it intelligent? Dr. Albert Schmidt, Managing Director of Baumer's Vision Competence Center, provides answers.

How will AI affect automation technology - both directly in the machine and in the cloud? These and other questions will be explored at the Artificial Intelligence Forum, which will take place in Stuttgart on May 17.
