The more intelligently a company uses data, the greater the profit. It is not only international software companies such as Google, Meta and Microsoft that know this, but also companies in the manufacturing industry. Smart data networking creates the greatest added value. For this reason, interface standards that ensure cross-manufacturer communication between machines and the smooth exchange of measurement results in the factory are increasingly coming into focus. How do you get the most out of the data? The answers to this key question will be provided at the EMO Hannover 2025 from September 22 to 26. At the world's leading trade fair for production technology, visitors can familiarize themselves with the latest trends in industrial production under the motto “Innovate Manufacturing”.

Each machine generates huge amounts of data. It used to be considered a by-product, but today it is an indispensable raw material that can be used to make production more efficient. In this way, manufacturing companies can secure a decisive competitive advantage even in times of a shortage of skilled labor and high international competitive pressure. Smart data utilization may also reduce emissions and increase the sustainability of production in order to meet increasing regulatory challenges.
