For strongly export-oriented drive technology and fluid power companies, HANNOVER MESSE is the ideal platform to push their global business forward thanks to its highly international character. "Given the general global conditions, HANNOVER MESSE has a special role to play this year, because this is where the global course for tomorrow's industrial production will be set," says Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman and CEO of Deutsche Messe AG. "In the areas of automation, digitalization and international cooperation, we offer a central platform on which drive technology and fluid power companies can showcase their pioneering concepts and provide decisive impetus for a resilient industry. At the same time, the highly international nature of the event opens up ideal opportunities for export-oriented companies to tap into new markets, acquire potential new customers, and strengthen their position in global competition in the long term."
Companies that have already registered their participation include Atos, Baumüller, Bosch Rexroth, Cantoni, Festo, Flender, HAWE, IMM Hydraulik, SEW-EURODRIVE, and Schaeffler. The manufacturers will present their latest applications and components for intelligent and sustainable production. All this, under the Motion & Drives label, will be focused in Halls 4, 5, and 6.
"Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power components are key building blocks of machines – they provide power and movement, serve as a data source for digital value-added services, and play a decisive role in the performance of customer products. In 2025, HANNOVER MESSE with its 'Motion & Drives Community' will become a driver of innovation in the engineering business," emphasizes Hartmut Rauen, Deputy Managing Director of the Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA) and responsible for the Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power Associations within VDMA.
Young Talent and Research Activities as the Key to the Future
The members of the Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power associations are increasingly involved with the problems of securing young talent and the shortage of skilled workers. Through close cooperation with research institutions such as the Research Association for Drive Technology (FVA e.V.), the Fluid Power Research Fund and the Fluid Power Education Fund, pioneering research projects are being driven forward, and urgently needed graduates are being trained.
Digitalization will continue to be a key topic at HANNOVER MESSE. The publicly funded research project "Fluid 4.0", which focuses primarily on the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) concept, is opening up new perspectives for the industry. OPC UA specifications are being developed in the area of Power Transmission Engineering to optimize data exchange in Power Transmission Engineering. Interfaces to the overarching topic of Manufacturing-X will also be addressed in order to design future data spaces for the industry, and to gear up the sector for the future.
Special Fluid Power 4.0 Show: Innovation Meets Sustainability
The special show in Hall 5, D44 at the heart of the "Motion & Drives" exhibition focus will prove to be the central meeting point for casting light on the future of fluid power and exchanging ideas and insights with experts. Exhibits and research activities on system control, energy monitoring, recycling management, carbon footprints, and IoT integration will be presented. The exhibition will show what the path to even more efficient and productive fluid power looks like, and what added value digitalization brings for manufacturers and customers alike.
“Motion & Drives” Conference Stage: Transfer of Expertise and Networking
The Conference Stage in Hall 5, D32 will be the center for transferring expertise and networking in the fields of Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power. In the immediate vicinity of the special FLUID POWER 4.0 show, sessions will be offered throughout the week dealing with specific topics on the latest developments in smart Fluid Power and Power Transmission Engineering. The program will be supplemented with topics focusing on Europe, India and Italy.
VDMA Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power in Hall 5
The joint stand for VDMA members and the information stands of the Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power associations together with their European sector committees CETOP and EUROTRANS, will be located in the immediate vicinity in areas E36 to E44. Seven member companies from the Power Transmission Engineering and Fluid Power sector and the Fluid 4.0 project will be exhibiting innovative products, innovations and solutions at the joint company stand.
