All dimensions of value creation

Digitization has reached all areas of industrial manufacturing. It makes production and manufacturing more efficient, allows uncomplicated implementation of individual customer requirements, enables new business models and can also be incorporated into conventional production step by step, in smaller building blocks. NORTEC focused on this topic and showed "4.0 - Practice for SMEs" in Hall A1. Retrofitting existing machines was the focus here, as was data acquisition and evaluation for optimizing processes and the use of innovative processes such as lasers, automation and electronics.

At the heart of NORTEC, exhibitors showcase: machinery and equipment, tools and fixtures, control systems and measurement technology. Suppliers and contract manufacturers offer their services, as do specialists for the upstream and downstream stations of the value chain: design, calculation and simulation, control, IT, logistics, quality control and service.
