EuroBLECH 2024: 'The Power of Productivity'
The 27th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, EuroBLECH, will open its doors again at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany from 22-25 October 2024. It is the world’s largest exhibition for sheet metal processing, covering the entire supply chain with 15 different technology sectors. Visitors can enjoy live demonstrations and world premieres, with the opportunity to explore, assess and discuss the benefits and gains of specific technology solutions for their own production process.
The global flagship event on sheet metalworking is expecting a huge turnout this year. Spread over nine exhibition halls and covering more than 90,000 square metres, this year’s event will be a unique opportunity to see the largest collection of sheet metalworking technology in one place. Over 90% of available stand space has already been secured. New this year are the Guided Visitor Tours showcasing the top picks in productivity solutions to increase output and efficiency.
“EuroBLECH 2024 will occupy halls 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 26 and 27 at Hanover Exhibition Grounds, the world’s largest exhibition centre. The uptake on stand space has been immense, in particular from international exhibitors, with more than 60% of exhibitors joining from outside Germany. As such, the show mirrors the global significance of the sheet metal sector in the wider economy. Besides Germany, major exhibitor countries are Italy; Turkey; China; Spain; the Netherlands; Switzerland; Taiwan; Belgium; Austria; France and the USA,” confirmed show organiser, RX.
Smart machinery, tools and IT solutions
“EuroBLECH provides numerous opportunities to watch innovative machinery live in action, with exhibits covering literally anything to do with the processing of metal sheet, tubes, profiles, plastic hybrids and other related applications,” explained RX.
On display will be stamping presses; CNC punching machines; press brakes and other machines and tools for cutting, punching and forming; joining; welding and fastening; surface treatment and finishing; process control and quality assurance; machine elements and components; CAD/CAM/CIM systems; warehouse and factory equipment; material recycling; and more.
New guided visitor tours
For the first time, visitors will be able to book carefully curated visitor tours. Also reflected in this year’s motto for EuroBLECH, ‘The Power of Productivity’, the organised visitor experiences focus on productivity-enhancing technology. The tours will include ten-minute presentations at each stop, followed by a short Q&A session. There are two different tours to choose:
Tour 1: “Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)” covers key topics such as big data, remote analysis, predictive maintenance, production monitoring and part traceability. Participants will discover various products, tools and software to help them plan, optimise and monitor production with a view to improving their overall productivity, efficiency and sustainability.
Tour 2: “Automation and Robotics for Efficient Production” demonstrates how integrated, bolt-on or stand-alone automation and robotics systems can streamline production operations for greater sustainability and productivity, even for small batches. These can range from handling, sorting, conveyor, storage, and stacking systems to robots, co-bots and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
Speaker Forum and Industry Awards
“The popular EuroBLECH 2024 Speaker Forum will feature two dedicated presentation theatres for expert talks and panel discussions. Sessions run over all four show days and offer exciting insights into the latest projects and product developments, as well as valuable networking opportunities and meaningful exchange amongst peers. The speaker agenda will be published closer to the show,” added RX.
The prestigious EuroBLECH Industry Awards will also make a comeback at EuroBLECH 2024. Recognition will be given for the most innovative products, solutions and digitalisation concepts in various categories. The winners will be selected by industry professionals via online voting, starting in autumn 2024, and the awards will be presented at the exhibition.
“Over 90% of available stand space has already been booked. Companies planning to present their products this year are advised to contact the show team immediately. Available stand options include the ‘myEuroBLECH Easy Package’ with a shell scheme offer and the convenient ‘First Time Exhibitor Package’ which includes a turnkey solution plus marketing package,” concluded RX.
