why visit Machineering NextGen ExperienceMachineering NextGen Experience will be the place to be for everyone in the manufacturing industry who wants to discover innovations in a networking environment. This unique event will bring together professionals who want to learn about the latest technologies, smart production lines and revolutionary collaborations. Find out why you should not miss this amazing experience!
1. Experience! Experience how technology and innovation can be efficient when used correctly together
Beyond all the hype: What is certain is that Machineering NextGen Experience will allow you to see everything ‘up and running’ – and that does not only apply to networking with all the players in your value and supply chain, as across the various Manufacturing Hubs, you will also be able to brainstorm with any tech partner involved in those live, ‘up and running’ production floors.
2. Networking with the entire ecosystem (from supplier to assembly)
This event will be a great opportunity for both management and industrial executives from production, R&D, engineering, asset management, quality, testing, prototyping and procurement to connect and find what they are looking for. Incidentally, in modern-day factories, these departments no longer operate in isolated silos. Instead, they operate as seamlessly linked processes.
3. Brand new and tailored to existential manufacturing needs
Machineering NextGen Experience will introduce a revolutionary concept to the sector: a complete production line in action, from raw material to finished product. In addition to individual machines and technologies, the NextGen Experience will showcase an integrated flow in which automation, digital control and smart processes merge seamlessly into a coherent whole. Visitors will be given a unique opportunity to see the entire periphery of the production floor at a glance and discover how each link contributes to a more efficient, flexible and sustainable production environment.
This approach will make Machineering NextGen Experience a must-visit for anyone wishing to understand AND experience the future of manufacturing. In the various Manufacturing Hubs, you will be able to immerse yourself in a manufacturing system where a new component is designed in no time using CAD software, after which a product order is converted using CAM software, a Bill of Materials is generated, the necessary work instructions are created and the various processes (welding, sheet metal working, machining, laser cutting, EDM, printing, etc.) are flawlessly controlled, and the end product is measured, tested and assembled. Add to that the nearby networking stands of specialised subcontractors, service providers, software and robot suppliers, and you have the entire manufacturing system in one experience-oriented industrial networking event.
4. 10 Technology themed routes for manufacturing teams
At Machineering NextGen Experience, manufacturing teams involved in the processing of metals and plastics, industrial supply and machine building will find all the materials, software, machines, tools, expertise, automation, digitalisation solutions and services they need, neatly divided into 10 technology themed routes.
5. Invest in the expertise/training of your team
Machineering NextGen Experience will be a melting pot of all the trends and innovations that the various members of your team want to see, try out and benchmark. Hence the 10 technology themed routes, which provide an approach tailored to your team members, each of whom has their own specialisation.
Ideally, your visiting team should consist of managers in charge of production, engineering, innovation, asset performance, procurement, supply chain management and logistics. Each with their own expertise and innovative contribution to your high-performance production floor of tomorrow. Machineering NextGen Experience will be a trade fair for innovative solutions in manufacturing, which, by the way, all of your company's employees who will attend the event will be able to count as a training day.
