The B&R Innovation Days will take place in Salzburg (Wyndham Grand Hotel) and Bad Homburg (KongressCenter im Kurhaus) on 7 and 8 June and 13 and 14 June. Numerous guest speakers as well as B&R speakers will present exciting projects on the current topics of Industrial IoT and networked production in lectures, workshops and field reports.
The programme will be complemented by reports from users who will provide an in-depth insight into automation practice as well as an exhibition area with new products from B&R and partner companies.
„The core topic is focussing on solutions for the challenges of digital transformation. Today's machines and systems must be made fit for the future through modularity. Small batch sizes The B&R Group's automation solutions are designed to be intelligent, support networking via open standards, communicate with the ERP and cloud level and enable predictive maintenance as well as new technologies. Together with partners, machine builders and end customers, B&R is presenting the use of intelligent automation technology in production and invites you to participate in technical discussions and high-quality information transfer at our event,“ says Markus Sandhöfner, Managing Director of B&R Germany.
Industrial IoT and digitalisation solutions implemented
The two-day event offers interested parties and customers of B&R a platform for current topics in machine and plant engineering:
Realising Smart Factory through concrete solutionsHow machines and systems are becoming fit for the future through networking, modularisation and intelligent software solutions.
Flexible, linear transport system - More productivity with batch size 1Intelligent linking of material handling and robotics increases flexibility, throughput and minimises costs. This enables new, innovative concepts for conveying and handling technology.
Virtualisation of machine processes: The digital twinB&R Automation Studio allows you to bundle the engineering toolchain and thus recognise in advance whether the process will run optimally later on.
How complete mechatronic solutions increase productivityThe interaction of machine components must be as flexible as the software behind it. Perfect automation can only be achieved with an overall mechatronic concept.
Business Intelligence - Concepts for innovative factory automationTo get more out of production, data from the entire supply chain must be collected and linked. Information into a ready-made and easy-to-use solution.
Qualified Partner Programme for system integratorsSuccess is the result of trusting cooperation. B&R Germany presents its partner programme for the first time at the Innovation Days in Bad Homburg.
