The Hannover Messe experience

?Solutions for connectivity and climate neutrality” - advertises the website of this year’s Hannover Messe, an international trade fair in Germany offering a platform for innovation, inspiration, and interaction.

Commencing on the 17th of April, we had five days to explore this monumental event having fifteen of its halls opened for this occasion, filled with exhibitors eager to stand out with a revolutionary idea and visitors searching for ideas to spark innovation.

We found ourselves in the midst of open, like-minded people having our stand located in the hall of digitalization. We were eager to contribute to the natural flow of exchanging ideas with our years of experience, successful projects, and unique, state-of-the-art solutions.

We are grateful to the organizers of Hannover Messe for giving us the opportunity to show our competence. In return, we gained business connections and broadened our professional horizon with the new trends and solutions focusing on industrial automation and grid management.

Circling the subject of building a sustainable future, the represented topics included:

• the widespread implementation of AI and machine learning,?
• the urgent need for efficiency in energy management,?
• the objective of carbon-neutral production and?
• the use of hydrogen and fuel cells setting the fundament of a hydrogen-based industry.

Greener future ahead

During our enlightening conversations, we concluded that corporate social responsibility is currently in the center of climate advocacy. Reducing carbon footprint is crucial for companies to remain competitive. Demonstrating social responsibility impacts demand and employee loyalty more than ever.

Manufacturers are trying to improve their efficiency in production and energy management to support their shift in business strategy. They are using predictive analytics systems to monitor and improve operations, generating lots of data.

The demand for data science and AI to support decision-making is increasing, contributing to the sustainable revolution of Industry 4.0 and introducing new manufacturing possibilities.

Our most successful project pitch at Hannover Messe

As energy dependence poses a significant threat to economic agents, energy management also has become an essential aspect of business strategy. This energy dependence is now urging the utilization of IoT devices to record and analyze energy flows and photovoltaic systems to generate energy in order to cut operating expenses.

While governments are not yet prepared to implement global changes, local distributors must take the initiative to bring about local changes. Although it may not be possible to take global steps soon, taking action at the local level has become necessary now. There is a growing need for small- and household-sized solar power plants and their effective cooperation in each country’s national grid, dissolving the volatility of the nature of the renewables.

This change was addressed by many companies at the trade fair, with different hardware solutions searching for adequate software counterparts.

Obtaining domain knowledge in the Hungarian energy industry and supporting the improvement of the grid infrastructure, our projects aim for optimized energy management.

An effective solution would be a meteorological data system that uses information from weather stations, transmission line sensors, and sky cameras to enhance the ability to predict the electricity production of solar and wind energy systems more accurately. This cutting-edge technology also allows for proactive maintenance of transmission lines during extreme and diverse weather conditions.

Another exciting project aiming at improving the energy distribution system in the country, which we found to be trendsetting in the industry. An AI-aided system is developed that uses cameras mounted on cars and drones equipped with machine vision to assess the status of the energy distribution network.

This innovative method may dramatically reduce the time and costs involved in the maintenance of the network, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective operation. We are very grateful to have been able to take part in such forward-looking projects.

Although we felt the brownfield investment was relatively underrepresented, we are looking forward to the exhibition next year, as we had an eventful, more than exceptional experience from which we indeed learned a lot.
