What to Expect

This meeting combines strategic market intelligence with hands-on technical demonstrations. We will dive deep into the world of injection molding and robotization, focusing on how digital design, material selection, and structural optimization are transforming the production of high-performance components.

In addition to these topics, we will host a specialized discussion with Dr. Mikula Thiem and his team regarding the newest OPC UA Use Cases specifically tailored for plastics and rubber machinery. This session will highlight how standardized data exchange is streamlining shop-floor connectivity and driving the next wave of Industry 4.0.

Beyond the technical scope, we will address the economic landscape, providing a clear view of global trade shifts. We will discuss new opportunities across various sectors—including the high-precision requirements of the aerospace and defense industries—and examine how emerging markets and new industrial branches are opening doors for European machinery.
