Martin Dreher, Managing Director of Drehertec and an expert in turning machines, on the importance of automated CNC machines and digital twins.

Add-on for simulation platform
Dualis, distributor of the 3D simulation platform Visual Components, offers a solution for simulation-based offline programming of robot cells with Delfoi add-ons.
Bitkom on artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a megatrend. Machine learning in particular is on the rise, according to the digital association Bitkom. However, there is still a lack of implementation.

In the future, the digital twin will be at the heart of industrial production. KHS is already using models to virtually map the commissioning of machines and conveyor systems.

Today, robotic automation is the means of choice to meet the desire for increased efficiency and to counter the shortage of skilled workers.
Mechtop in the north of Switzerland builds special machines and systems. Solid Edge and Tecnomatix from Siemens help to design and maintain sophisticated conveyor systems.

With the K-Virtual tool, Kawasaki Robotics will be offering a new software solution for plant engineering, robot simulations and offline programming from September 1, 2020.

With the GA500 and GA700 inverters from Yaskawa, the "Drive Programming Simulator" can be used to clarify in advance how the inverter will behave during operation.

The SimKI project aims to use machine learning to evaluate data from real production in order to make the running-in processes of forming machines more efficient. Inneo is participating in the project with its IoT platform ThingWorx.
