WITTMANN Competence Days 2024 - We live molding.

The Competence Days of the WITTMANN Group have a long tradition. For WITTMANN, they are a platform to present to its customers and partners novelties from their product range, and to demonstrate their competence not only in existing technologies but also in the area of future-oriented topics. This is evidenced by numerous exhibits from all product segments of the WITTMANN Group, which means machines, robots, auxiliaries and even complete, fully integrated work cells.

The overview of the Group’s range of machinery comprises all-electric machines from the EcoPower and MicroPower series, including the EcoPower DC machine powered by direct current and equipped with a robot and a temperature control device operating with direct current as well, moreover a model from the servo-hydraulic SmartPower series, by which the future “Holoverse” technology will be demonstrated – a study about intuitive interaction potential with injection molding machines, robots and auxiliary appliances. Another machine from the SmartPower series comes with a complex automation system from WITTMANN BATTENFELD Germany.

Furthermore, a wide range of robots, temperature controllers, flow regulators, material dryers, conveyors and blenders, as well as granulators will be exhibited, including several novelties. On a powerful temperature controller combined with an intelligent flow regulator, WITTMANN will demonstrate ultra-modern temperature control technology, which improves process reliability and significantly reduces energy consumption as well.

In addition to presenting the above-mentioned exhibits, various specialist presentations will be held to illustrate many different aspects of digitalization. Dr. Mikula Thiem of VDMA will present a summary of this topic.

On Wednesday evening, Ingemar Bühler, General Manager of Plastics Europe Germany, will open the program with his keynote speech “AI and Digitalization – the Gamechangers for the Plastics Industry “. Afterwards, the WITTMANN Group will invite its guests to a leisurely dinner at the MARX Hall.

In addition to this program, guests of the Competence Day will also have the opportunity to visit some of the WITTMANN Group’s production plants this year. On offer are company tours at WITTMANN Technology in Vienna, at WITTMANN BATTENFELD in Kottingbrunn or at WITTMANN Robottechnikai in Mosonmagyaróvár (Hungary).
