Industrial Supply as part of the HANNOVER MESSE is the leading international trade fair for innovative supplier solutions and lightweight construction. Once again, the Salzgitter Group will feature as an important exhibitor on location in Hall 6, Stand F02. Together with its subsidiaries, the Group will showcase innovations for industry and the automotive sector and is looking forward to an intensive exchange of information and ideas with trade fair visitors, customers and partners.
'One-stop service'
As a particularly impressive example of its innovative capacity arising from internal cross-collaboration among its companies, the Salzgitter Group will be presenting the chassis of Volkswagen AG's Modular Transverse Matrix, among other exhibits. This chassis includes numerous components from Salzgitter Flachstahl's innovative steel grades, such as the SZBS800xpand® bainitic steel.
The 'Initiative Automotive' concentrates its specialist capabilities and works consistently on further developing materials, processes and services. Innovative concepts and ideas of this kind for tomorrow's automotive construction are created through close cooperation with our customers.
'Integrated Industry - Discover Solutions', the slogan of the Hannover Messe 2016, is reflected by an innovative research project of subsidiary KHS GmbH. Depending on the LEGO Mindstorms Center's current configuration, logos of different sizes and speeds can be produced from LEGO building blocks on the center. The LEGO Mindstorms control is connected via a Raspberry Pi with a real PLC, an industrial HMI and an RFID reader for this purpose. With each configuration used, the real HMI's display responds to the changed data and dynamically adjusts the necessary documentation automatically. The documentation in this case comprises operating and maintenance instructions, as well as the spare parts catalog, supplemented by continuously updated wearing parts information. This year, the presentation of this research project is also part of the 'Technology Tour Industry 4.0'.
The venue for the steel sector and partners of the Salzgitter Group is once again Salzgitter AG's Customer Day. This will take place for the first time on Tuesday (April 26) of the trade fair directly at the trade fair stand in Hall 6, starting at 5 p.m.
The Salzgitter AG trade fair stand is also well worth a visit by career entrants and young professionals wanting to inform themselves about career opportunities in the Salzgitter Group. Along with information on internships, as well as entry possibilities and employment opportunities, another highlight of KHS GmbH will be presented here: the talking PET bottle. The information printed on the bottles using the Direct Print process can be implemented as film sequences through Augmented Reality, providing the consumer with additional useful information.
