24,400 visitors from 41 countries learned about manufacturing technology in metalworking and the supplier industry at the Intec/Z twin trade fair in Leipzig.
We too were among the 1,324 exhibitors at INTEC and were pleased to welcome numerous visitors and have interesting conversations at our stand in Hall 2. There we presented our expertise in image processing, robotics/automation and automated guided vehicles.
Numerous visitors took the opportunity to learn about our small automated guided vehicle and to test it live. Using a touchpad, visitors chose between cola, Smarties and the FusionSystems memory game, and the clear favourite was the can of cola as a thirst quencher at the trade fair. The goods were dispensed from a magazine before the AGV brought them back to the visitor at the handover station.
In the area of surface inspection, we presented our wire inspection system FS-WireCheck. Among other things, it allows us to inspect rotating and non-rotating steel wire for defects. For the three-dimensional capture of workpieces, we presented our robot arm equipped with a sensor-camera attachment, which scans objects of various kinds and makes them available for further processing.
Furthermore, we presented our competencies in automotive software engineering and sensor data fusion with our sensor vehicle. We presented our results on automated driving in the areas of vehicle environment perception and vehicle interior, using various sensor and camera systems in and around the vehicle. Our colleague Thomas Pfaff gave a talk in the Sensor Technology expert forum on “Test bench for analysing the system integration of assistance systems in modern vehicles.”
We also took the opportunity to present ourselves to university and school students at the skilled workers’ day (Fachkräftetag) at the Congress Center Leipzig. Our Marketing Manager gave a talk there on career opportunities in Saxony’s industry.
We draw a positive conclusion and look forward to INTEC 2021.
