The VDMA regulation cockpit offers compact factsheets on the most important regulations for the mechanical and plant engineering industry - comprehensible, practical and at a glance. You will find out which sectors are affected, what the timetable looks like, where there is a need for action and what sanctions are to be expected. A valuable guide for all companies that want to prepare for the new requirements at an early stage.
Factsheet: Artificial intelligence
Interview with Dr. Harald Weber, Managing Director, VDMA Large-scale Plant Engineering and Leon Stadler, Senior Manager, Strategy&
The EU-Commission has published the formal withdrawal of the AILD proposal in the EU Official Journal. The VDMA welcomes this official step.
The EU's Apply AI strategy is sending out the right signals: artificial intelligence must be used where it creates real benefits - in the real economy. Mechanical engineering is the linchpin here.
You are planning to use AI in your machine – but when does your system fall into the ‘high-risk category’ of the AI Regulation? Our guide will help you answer this question step by step.
Unlike traditional data analysis, causal AI goes beyond simply recognizing patterns and reveals actual cause-and-effect relationships
Interview on the way to K 2025 with Dipl.-Ing. Michael Wittmann, President of WITTMANN Group
Advancing Europe in robotics: At #MBG25, Denmark's national robotics cluster Odense Robotics and VDMA Robotics Automation signed a cooperation agreement - supported by the Danish and German governments.
Part 4 of our series of talks on the Mechanical Engineering Summit 2025: Professor Claus Oetter shows how digital business models and AI are changing the industry - and what role the VDMA is playing in the transformation.
Assistance systems and technology-supported learning help free up resources in production
P.O.P. Talks to discuss prospects for AI in production
Since August 2, 2025, the provisions on general-purpose AI models and sanctions of the AI Act, among others, have been applicable. In this article, we explain what this means for companies.
In the exchange of experiences, the topic of AI in the company was discussed from safe application to strategic implementation.
Interview on the road to K 2025 with Timo Horn, Head of Operational Services in Extrusion Technology at Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik GmbH
On July 1, 2025, VDMA Austria held an AI practical day at the KEBA Group in Linz, which attracted a great deal of interest with over 70 participants.
How to introduce AI-based planning systems: from identifying suitable use cases and creating digital foundations to designing agile and human-centered innovation processes.
How artificial intelligence is revolutionizing production
The transformation of the automotive industry is changing the demands placed on machine tools and production technology. Topics such as automation, digitalization and artificial intelligence are shaping developments.
The whole spectrum of digitalization remains a top issue at EMO Hannover 2025
The ongoing digital transformation is helping companies to improve existing value propositions and develop new ones.
With the "AJCsens", the Fraunhofer IVV presents a smart spray cleaning system for demand-oriented tank cleaning, which offers a forward-looking answer to the constantly increasing pressure on time and resources thanks to its high savings potential.
The oscillating quartz-based sensor technology CoControl-QCM enables reliable inline detection of a wide variety of contaminants, such as product deposits, biofilms and crystalline fouling.
The AI-supported monitoring system makes it possible to predictively detect fouling during the production process. This makes it particularly suitable for the production process of high-protein products such as yoghurt drinks or milk-based mixed drinks.
The VDMA regulatory cockpit provides you with a central, practical overview of current and upcoming regulations. It helps you identify relevant information at an early stage, evaluate it strategically, and derive concrete measures.
Events
Immerse yourself in the world of artificial intelligence with a clear focus on industrial applications! At the next AI Summit Stuttgart, you can expect three exciting use cases directly from industry that show how AI is already being used productively today. Whether predictive maintenance, intelligent image processing or autonomous systems - this is where practice becomes tangible. In addition to the presentations, the summit offers a wide range of networking opportunities and space to exchange ideas with experts, both on site in Stuttgart and online. Whether you come from mechanical engineering, IT or business - you will find inspiration, expertise and new contacts here. Join us and shape the future of industry with AI!
Industrial manufacturing is on the verge of a profound transformation - and artificial intelligence plays a key role in this. We cordially invite you to our exclusive event at Fanuc Deutschland GmbH, where we will show you how AI-supported automation and robotics open up new potential for efficiency, quality and flexibility in production.
Digitalization and AI: Driving Innovation in Gear Production? Listen to lectures from 12 - 13 November in Aachen from: Flender, GKN Driveline, Scania, SEW Eurodrive, Kapp Niles and many more.
The mechanical and plant engineering sector produces highly complex, durable products. As such, employee expertise is of paramount importance. In the coming years, demographic change will lead to the retirement of many key knowledge holders. This makes it all the more crucial to extract, preserve, and systematically transfer corporate knowledge to the next generation. In our strongly export-oriented industry, there is also a growing need to make company know-how available across all locations - domestically and internationally - without delay and in a consistently high quality. This must be achieved across language barriers and time zones, and is essential for maintaining a competitive service offering. How machinery manufacturers are addressing these challenges and what digital solutions are available to elevate knowledge management to the next level will be the focus of the full-day VDMA Austria event on November 18, 2025, hosted by KNAPP AG in Hart bei Graz.
Generative AI is changing the way content is created and processes are designed - even in an industrial environment.
Take the opportunity at the VDMA Research Day "Digitalization in Mechanical Engineering: Research and Industry in Dialogue" to get to know industrial research projects with a focus on artificial intelligence and data and to network with potential cooperation partners. Another highlight of the event is the presentation of the VDMA Young Talent Award "Digitalization in Mechanical Engineering" and an interactive "World Café". Join us and exchange ideas with experts from the industry!
