Mobile robots are not just revolutionizing logistics scenarios, but production as well. Because they enable a new level of flexibility while maintaining high productivity. But how to form a homogeneous fleet of several robots from different manufacturers with minimum effort? Experience the VDA 5050 developed by VDA and VDMA live in action. The setting? The exclusive premiere of the AGV Mesh-Up@automatica within the framework of our new Mobile Robots in Production showcase – in a battery production logistics application context for the first time. Ready for the big test?

Record-breaking growth rates and an ever-expanding scope of applications indicate that service robots are on their way to becoming omnipresent. This is more than enough reason to dedicate even more space to this topic with great public appeal. The joint Service Robot City pavilion offers an exciting overview of the numerous application fields for service robots such as Health, Hospitality, Retail, Work, and Inspection & Monitoring. This is the place to experience innovative exhibits in action – and effective solutions to problems associated with the lack of specialists. Perfect example: the Robot Restaurant is partly staffed by machines, making it a centerpiece and highlight of the service robotics exhibition.

The special show “Photons in Production” presents on more than 400 square meters of exhibition space. You will gain a comprehensive insight into current trends and research results in the field of laser materials processing. As a special highlight, two live demonstrations await you. On the one hand, you will see a demonstration of process monitoring for the beam shaping in terms of ring-mode lasers. On the other hand, a networked laser material processing system with a fully interconnected inline quality assurance using artificial intelligence will be presented. Due to the close link between the two topics of laser material processing and automation, the cross-fair "Solutions Pitches" will be organized for the first time this year. Two exhibitors each from automatica and LASER WoP will present a successful and industry-ready "show case" for solving a production technology challenge.
