The world industrial fair will officially open in Hanover on April 1st. This year, the exhibition of technological innovations begins with an awards ceremony: the organizers will announce the winner of the prestigious Hermes Prize.
The Hannover Messe attracts exhibitors from all over the world
More than 6,500 exhibitors from over 70 countries will take part in the Hannover Messe this year and present their products in core areas such as industrial software, energy and drive technology, robotics and research to the numerous visitors. Sweden was selected as the partner country in 2019; Swedish companies will represent the mechanical and automotive engineering, space technology and chemical industries during various discussions and discuss potential partnerships with other companies.
The Hermes Prize is the absolute highlight in the program: Here is an overview of the three nominated products
TheHighlight in the programis of course the awards ceremony, which is taking place for the 16th time. A jury chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reimund Neugebauer has already nominated three submissions: ABB Ladenburg impressed the jury members with the “NiTemp” temperature measuring device. Unlike other thermometers that are mounted in the pipes, the new device cannot invasively measure the temperatures in pipes. This eliminates the need to drill through the pipes and install protective pipes, saving money and time.
Arkite NV from Belgium is the second company to be nominated for the Hermes Prize. Their three-dimensional object recognition technology gives employees useful information during assembly and warns of errors. In this way, the work process can be optimized and manuals, protocols and checklists are a thing of the past. The software assistant offers another decisive advantage: it can be used to create assembly projects.
NanoWired GmbH, based in Gernsheim, is the third company to be nominated for the Hermes Award. His product “KlettWelding Tape” enables the precise connection of electronic components even at room temperature. The cost-effective alternative to gluing and bonding is based on nanotechnology and is used in the production of sensors, automobiles, consumer goods, etc.
