2016 Hannover Messe Expos New Technology for Obama's Live Demo of Smart Sensors

On April 25, the Hannover Messe 2016 was officially opened with the theme of “Industrial Convergence - Discovery Solutions”. The exhibition focused on the transformation of intelligent, automated factories and energy systems, and focused on displaying more than 100 applications of Industry 4.0, with more than 5,200 exhibitors from 75 countries and regions unveiled. As the guest country of the Expo, U.S. President Barack Obama attended the opening ceremony and visited the exhibition booths with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. At this year's Hannover Messe, KUKA booths with a mystery of the future attracted a lot of attention. The KUKA booth adopts a new color palette and a futuristic design. The booth will be constructed as a brilliant future automation world, echoing KUKA's theme of "Hello, Industry 4.0 - Towards Digitalization". As the highlight of the opening ceremony, KUKA KMR iiwa demonstrated his unique dance for Obama and Merkel, making Obama turn around in minutes to change his schedule. In addition to offering unique dance postures, KUKA KMR iiwa also customizes mobile phone shells for the audience, provides coffee & beer service, and even has a cloud ride experience, five-speed, six-axis structure, so that passengers can feel the light swing, speed steering, upside down suspension, A variety of fun goes straight to the sky. In addition to KUKA KMR iiwa, Phoenix Electric's electric vehicle fast charging technology has also attracted Obama's great interest. On April 25, US President Barack Obama accompanied by German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited the Phoenix Electric booth at Hall 9 and particularly understood Phoenix Electric's rapid charging technology for electric vehicles. The fast charging system complies with European and American standards. Greatly meets the user's high requirements for fast charging. During the visit, President Obama asked whether the cars produced by different car manufacturers could share plugs. Frank Stührenberg, CEO of Phoenix Contact explained to them that the appearance of electric car plugs is different in different countries and regions, but in Europe and North America Using the same communication standard and introducing the first electric car plug with a fast charging power of up to 350 kilowatts, it can fill a typical electric car battery within 15 minutes. On the 26th, ABB Group CEO Spike, ABB Americas Regional President Shu Ruige and ABB Germany Chief Hans-Georg Krabbe accompanied the two leaders of Obama and Merkel to visit the ABB booth. ABB demonstrated on the spot how a YuMi robot can easily install smart sensors on a low-voltage motor, showcasing groundbreaking technologies that connect motors to "cloud" services through smart sensors and help hundreds of millions of motors achieve energy efficiency improvements. . According to ABB, this smart sensor can be applied to most low-voltage motors, reducing motor downtime by nearly 70%, extending the 30% lifetime, and reducing energy consumption by nearly 10%, helping customers improve efficiency and save costs. ABB Group CEO Spiep said that this smart sensor will promote the further development of global digital industry. The Hanover Fair is the world's largest and world's largest professional trade fair involving the industrial world. It not only has the world's largest exhibition space, but also has a high technical content. It is recognized as a link to global industrial design. One of the most important platforms for processing, manufacturing, technology applications and international trade. In 2016, for the first time, the United States as a partner country debuted at the Hannover Industrial Fair, which will demonstrate its image as a producer of high quality products and an excellent investment destination. Just as President Obama has repeatedly stressed, the United States very much welcomes foreign investors. The United States will inject new energy into the Hanover Fair and bring new opportunities.
