With new and exciting robotics applications, the Application Park will be one of the highlights of HANNOVER MESSE this year, making it possible to view intelligent robot systems, autonomous driving devices in operation, the latest AI applications in robotics, image recognition tools and virtual platforms.

Good materials science and engineering often goes unnoticed, but bad materials science and engineering is noticed forever. That's why it's so important that materials research and innovation is applied in industry, so that we can design products and processes that perform well throughout their entire lifespan. Here, Dr Sarah Glanvill, Lead Materials Scientist at Renishaw, shares experiences from her work in materials analysis and research.

Alwayse Ball Unit Solutions has announced BIL Group as its latest UK distribution partner. This new collaboration combines Alwayse's standing as the leading designer and manufacturer of ball transfer units with BIL Group's reputation for excellence in material handling solutions.

The Smart Manufacturing exhibition area at HANNOVER MESSE is all about intelligent and sustainable production. In seven halls, companies from all over the world will showcase how state-of-the-art technologies, components, integrated Industrie 4.0 solutions, and artificial intelligence help make production processes even more effective and sustainable in order to stay competitive globally.

Kistler is showcasing its latest plastic injection-moulding, assembly and testing measurement solutions for the MedTech industry at the 2025 MD&M West show. The products help manufacturers to achieve a zero-defect production throughout the manufacturing value chain, from part production to final assembly.

Lenzing Filtration was tasked with supplying its customer, a Chinese manufacturer, with systems for the hazardous production of Polymer Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI). However, the supplied automated backflush filtration systems required ATEX-certified explosion-proof motor and drive systems that could withstand the formidable rigours of such an environment. This is where WEG Gear Systems, a subsidiary of the motors and drives specialist WEG, stepped in with a bespoke solution tailored to meet exacting safety standards.

Petitpierre, the Swiss specialist for high-precision technology, has developed sophisticated applications with which micromechanical components can be cleaned and measured precisely during the production process. MVTec HALCON supplies the appropriate machine vision algorithms for this.

A food packaging machinery manufacturer trusts ReeR Safety to meet the demanding reliability and performance requirements of machines which perform high-speed processing tasks between a slicer and a thermoforming machine.
