In order to achieve optimum results, ex-
tensive knowledge of the entire manufac-
turing and measuring process is required,
explains Jan Häger, Head of Software De-
velopment for Precision Measuring Cen-
ters at Klingelnberg. "Each workpiece has
its own requirements in terms of quality,
cycle and set-up time. Experience and
knowledge of the different manufacturing
processes help when analyzing the data,"
says Häger. However, artificial intelligen-
ce, such as machine learning, is also alrea-
dy being used.
Standardization guarantees
compatibility d
Here too, the focus is on smooth data ex-
change between production machines
and measurement technology. In the past,
Klingelnberg mainly used proprietary for-
mats, some of which have become estab-
lished as industry standards. Today, Klin-
gelnberg, which will be showing visitors to
EMO cylindrical gear grinding machines,
cylindrical gear rolling testing machines
for determining the causes of gear noise
and precision measuring centers with
hybrid measuring technology, is consi-
stently switching to standard interfaces
such as OPC UAati. "These help us and
the customer to keep the interfaces com-
patible in the long term," says Häger.
Artificial intelligence or the digital twin
are set to make great leaps forward in this
context. "Artificial intelligence and digital
twins will make production in digital fac-
tories much more efficient in the future,"
Troska is convinced. By creating virtual
images of real systems, processes can be
optimized and potential problems can be
identified at an early stage. "AI-supported
systems allow for precise quality control
and autonomous production. This results
in more efficient, more flexible and more
intelligent factories that can adapt quickly
to changing market conditions," says
Troska.
A head start thanks to OPC UA d
Do cross-manufacturer data exchange
and analysis in the factory offer a compe-
titive advantage, especially when compa-
ring European with North American and
Asian suppliers? Daniel Meuris, the digita-
lization expert at Klingelnberg, says that
there is a strong focus on MQTT, an open
network protocol for machine-to-machine
communication, especially for compre-
hensive data exchange in the North Ame-
rican region. "OPC UA is more in demand
in other parts of the world. With OPC UA,
we can better serve the various require-
ments in the world from Europe," says
Meuris. p

Experience, evaluate and use technology
EMO Hannover 2025 makes the future
of metalworking tangible
Automated machines, collaborative ro-
bots, 3D printing, artificial intelligence
in data-driven process chains - the
world of metalworking is changing ra-
pidly. Recognizing development trends
and maintaining an overview is a chal-
lenge. The crucial question remains how
individual companies can assess the of-
ferings correctly for themselves and use
them profitably. EMO Hannover 2025
from September 22 to 26 will help you to
decide.

rector of EMO organizer VDW (German
