The trade fair for industrial automation 10 12 May 2016 Messe Wien www.smart-wien.at Parallel with INTERTOOL
SMART AUTOMATION AUSTRIA 2016 The SMART Automation Austria is Austria s only trade fair for industrial automation technology. It is held annually and alternates between Vienna and Linz. At the last edition of the show, held for the first time in Vienna in 2014, the new-look refocused SMART welcomed the active support of 215 direct exhibitors from 10 countries to the capital city of Austria, many of whom were market and technology leaders. Together with the parallel INTERTOOL, the trade fair for production technology, the two shows attracted 20,617 trade visitors. In 2016 the mutual benefits of staging these shows alongside each other is expected to generate even more added value. The SMART Automation Austria in Vienna is the ideal commercial stage for doing business with the eastern industrial regions. As members of the SMART Austria consulting committee we have worked together with Reed Austria on integrating some of the ideas in past visitor polls to develop an even more attractive showcase for automation technology. All of the big-name manufacturers are in one hall and the scheduling has been adapted to the availability of the very latest innovations. The redesigned, re-focused SMART Automation Austria in Vienna and Linz is a real Austrian alternative to visiting expensive foreign shows.

FEATURED CONTENT CORE THEME: INDUSTRY 4.0 IN PRACTICE The intelligent networking of industrial processes in line with the smart manufacturing principles of Industry 4.0, and the associated increase in the degree of automation and digitalisation of engineering and production processes, are the central themes at the SMART Automation Austria 2016 in Vienna. The aim is to cover the entire scope of content - from the smart manufacturing vision of Industry 4.0 to its practical influence in real situations. There is a particular need for the implementation of smart manufacturing in Austria, where most companies are small or medium-size industrial operations. Practical examples and a special show section entitled Intelligent Production enable visitors to gain hands-on experience of the latest hardware and approaches, and to be able to see the potential and real competitive advantages they provide. The SMART Automation Austria will also be spotlighting other current themes in the automation sector, such as industrial data processing and data security, energy efficiency in the industrial manufacturing sector and the collaboration between humans and robots. KEY THEMES: Industrial IT & Security - Built-in IT systems with a high degree of data security for optimal workflow. Energy-efficient production - Energy management and efficient technology for the 2020 energy goals. Man & robot collaboration - Safe technology with ultra-modern sensor technology generates new opportunities for the division of labour between man and machine. 4 SMART Automation Austria

The dominance of trade fairs over other marketing tools can be explained via the tangible 3-dimensional presentation of products, the power of personal contact, the realistic market overview, the level of expertise behind the information provided, the up-to-the-second nature of all input and impressions, assuredness that the right decisions have been made, and the establishment of a bond of trust between the manufacturer or suppliers and the customer.
